s0 pepperco, have you decided on what you are going to do?
I have not decided
It seems like the majority of posters recommend setting the doubles aside. There have been some great points made for sure. I can see the argument, but I can't really see myself selling the jeans. To clarify, two of the styles are work jeans. Dirty smelly work jeans. The plan is to beat them into submission for 6 months, and then wear them as casual non work jeans after they are properly broken in.
In the past I would simply buy stupid cheap jeans for work, 5 at a time and rotate them until they were trash. Wrangler, Lee, Old Navy, whatever was on sale. They would be amazingly broken in and perfectly trashed, but I would never want to wear them out, or after work. My thought is to break in some nice raw denim at work and once they reach the sweet spot, pull them from work rotation and wear them casually.
I have not worn any of my spares yet, but I think I might soon.
