Man, I wish they would make the black ones again.

.

My jeans all have this hidden fade. My nerdy hobby is magic. I mostly do sleight of hand with cards, but I have found an interest in learning coin magic, so I always have a silver dollar on me to practice and keep my hands busy.

I had the crotch darned a few years ago. They did a good job, but they didn't cover as big an area as I had expected. The darn is holding up, but the denim just outside of it is pretty much see-through. I wear them occasionally, but I always feel like I'm one large step away from it giving out completely. And thanks. Those were my first Japanese pair. They took a long time to get that way...I only wore them in the summer, and my office didn't allow jeans until about a year ago.

Here are my 2013's (left) and my 2009's (right). The waist of the 2013 was a little big when I got them, so I've been able to wear them for 10 years, but they're on their last legs. I wish Sugar Cane would make them again. I liked the cut and they were great in warm weather. I got the 2009's a couple of years ago to replace them.

The pair of 50's I ordered arrived today. The wide legs are going to take some getting used to. My wife will hate them, but my stepdaughter will probably approve. My current daily drivers at Sugar Cane 2009, which are somewhere in between slim and regular straight, but it feels like a huge difference.

Hardly wear them anymore, but they'll probably always be my favorites. Nothing rare, limited, hard to get...just classic.
