my personal denim chronology

there are a few pairs of jeans that i have loved in my life.

198? two pairs of jeans that i insisted on wearing every day. pretty sure one pair were "lee". worked my way through at least two sets of knee patches.
1990 gap straight leg, button fly. medium indigo with light cross hatching.
1997 levis 501s cut into shorts, would last me through 2001.
*the 7 year long denim drought, i liked but didn't love jeans by diesel and blue cult*
2004 paper denim & cloth 2mod01 (my first encounter with dual ring spun denim. almost clapped when i first saw them. pitch perfect whiskering. the first pair of jeans i had a seriously hard time parting with). 1 year
2006 j brand 905 stovepipe jean. ink
2007 j brand 1350 kat wide leg jeans. indigo and azure (two pair in azure. they're japanese denim. you know, i know.)
2008 habitual virtuoso trouser. eventide
2009 apc petit standard raw denim jean
2008-2010 levi's capital e swank boot cut jeans. huntington blue, and two other colorways i don't remember, sadly.

as it were, every one of these jeans is discontinued. we've moved on to bigger and better things, i guess. but i am now in a conundrum, as all of my jeans are either college frat boy tattered or don't fit anymore. so i've been trying to wear skirts, dresses, seersucker and chinos, but jeans make me feel at home.

here's to that next pair of perfect jeans, somewhere out there. we'll find each other...
