I had the iron on patches on my Toughskins too. Then after too many washes when the patch start peeling off on the edges, my mom would pull out the sewing machine and make a thousand circular stitch patterns to hold it on. That method resulted in it looking even worse and it would rub the skin on your knee raw. But we were tougher back then!
Every kid in the US needs patches for their jeans today. Must be some kind of lost art. Either that, or the badger population has skyrocketed, and they’re attacking kids for their cell phones…
...and you came home with long hair, a girlfriend who didn't wear a bra, played loud evil music and smelled like burnt rope, cheap wine or cheaper beer. I like the bumper sticker that says "It's not too loud...you're too old."
Personally, I recall pink and charcoal Elvis Presley shirts and even an orange pair of pants prior to the saving graces of the Rolling Stones, Beatles and their contemporaries. Can't see that torn jeans are any worse. Besides, I'll bet the badgers are happy.
Geez! Hope they were 50% off! Cause dats all you got for material . If you buy without rips "n" holes , you could Rip yourself and save material for future patches
My favorite jean story;
my kid gets a new pair of factory torn jeans. The knees were where the factor tears were. one day she kneels down and the knees tear completely open.
I see my wife folding the jeans up and I ask what’s up. She reply’s that she is returning them because my kid got mad because the knees tore way open.
Ha ha, I am sure my parents said the same thing when I wore a shirt w/ a Led Zeppelin patch on the back.
The jeans that had holes from battery acid in them.
