Crompton is on form again. Today it’s a report about his old jeans. After distinguishing between ‘thrift’ - which he doesn’t do as he’s ‘time poor’ - and vintage, he goes on to describe his second hand Levi’s. Basically they cost £300, but they have holes and patches. Our man is fine with that, as he thinks it adds character. It’s rather like a modern version of an aristocrat having a servant break in their shoes for them - except the shoes would not be in such a distressed condition afterwards. Crompton can speculate on some interesting provenance for these cast offs. That probably doesn’t include the last few possessions of some poor down and out on skid row.
The Levi’s are bound to match well with a bespoke, fur-lined, army surplus jacket.
