Most guys around here don't mind a friendly worn out pair of jeans. We love them as they age. But there comes a time when they are no longer wearable and are so trashed that they become impractical. A friend of mine has a museum for jeans, he collects especially worn out and dirty pairs that tell a story. So if you have a pair you consider to throw away, no matter which brand, drop him a line:
