I got the pair of pants in this photo as a gift for Christmas at some point during college, and for many years they were my favorite pair of pants. At some point when I was in Maine the pocket ripped and I transitioned them to spring/fall yard work pants. Last weekend I tore the knee of them kneeling down, and concluded they’ve finally hit the end of the road. 21+ years ain’t bad for a pair of pants that aren’t even denim.
