I've had them for 1.5-2 years and wore them probably 4-5 times/week for a lot of that. Hand-washed maybe 2-3 times. I'll patch the holes and keep wearing them. It's fun to see the evolution over time. It's nice to know they are totally unique.
APC has a " butler program" and will buy back your worn-out APCs and sell them for a premium. |
When you say washed 2-3 times do you mean a week or in 2 years?
If I understand this right in order to be "hip" (is that still a word?) one should start with unwashed jeans, preferably over $200 and wear the same pair every day for 2 years and not wash them? In the end the result is something that is more desireable and looks better than a $60 pair of jeans that someone washes after every 1 or 2 wears? Is this correct? The man who wears clean clothes is now lower on the societal chain?
Further more you can then sell these 2 year old un-washed jeans and someone else will pay extra to wear your dirty clothes?
Have I been left behind?
