I had some jeans like this until quite recently. They were about 30 years old and just worn out with frayed edges, rips at the knees and thighs but I kept them for "grotty" jobs, like clearing house junk and going to the tip. I chucked them out in the spring when I got a rip right across one buttock and felt the world didn't need to have sight of my pants.
I put them in the bin but maybe I should have tried selling them on e-bay?

That reminds of of the day I stopped a lad in the street and helpfully pointed out that his trainer laces were undone. He looked at me as if I was an alien from another galaxy and said 'they're
supposed to be undone', and shuffled on his way. It was the first time I was aware of feeling old - and I must have been about 35 at the time!
