Learning moments in my denim journey

[sabergirl]

Here’s my greatest denim failure:

Tried to emulate @Nik and his fantastic bleached pair with some cheap secondhand 25oz. Now I have acid wash Iron Heart! 666 is also a less comfy cut for me, so these only get worn for yard work and painting these days.

@sabergirl I love you, but holy hell is that an 80’s flashback ️

Edit: And yes, I did own a pair or two of acid wash in the day

[sabergirl]

I had some amazing acid wash somehow black with pink highlights pleated jeans that were my absolute favorite circa 1987! I’ll bet the Gen Zers would looove to get their hands on them.

Acid wash, stone wash, Jams shorts, and even parachute pants. The eighties were… interesting…

[goosehd]

…owned them all or

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl wow those are amazing! Made my eyes pop out my head for a sec there.

@sabergirl i think we need to see them modeled to get the full effect.

[Matt]

Maybe pegged at the cuff.

[mclaincausey]

@goosehd oh me too. Also had Jordan’s tho so that’s cool

[goosehd]

Man, I haven’t pegged a pair of jeans in years and miss the old school Jordan’s

[sabergirl]

I think that tight-rolling XHS may be impossible. I assume that’s what “pegging” is in this context

[endo]

@sabergirl just overdye them - black, purple, olive, whatever they will look good

[neph93]

@sabergirl that term can no longer be used for anything other than what you're thinking about. Somebody should tell @goosehd

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Not a native speaker here; had to look that up. I'm quite a bit confused o.O.

@RobeOfTheMagi best clear your browsing history, stat.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Yeah, it's such a wormhole!

[neph93]

This is priceless.

[goosehd]

Oh my…I had to look it up too as I couldn’t figure out what you were talking about

@sabergirl Look what you’ve done.

@RobeOfTheMagi somehow, 'wormhole' seems like it could be metaphorical in this context too...

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@T4920 Was trying to be a bit witty there :).
