Strange holes in clothes?

arno_v · Post by **arno_v** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 7:34 am

Today I'm wearing jeans with a spot on it that will turn in to a hole in a short time, if I look carefully I can just see my knee under it. And I noticed about a year ago that almost al my shirts had tiny holes at the frontside, round my belly. So I accused my mom for washing uncarefully, but she still denies she did it.

EDIT: My jeans in which I almost have a hole are also Levi's but they did last longer than a year I think. And they weren't expensive because I bought them at discount price.

never had a hole in my jeans in my entire life. the ends get torn unfortunately for i usually wear quite long jeans little bit in the hiphop style but not as wide, just longish. i hate those jeans where the "mouths" of the jeans are narrow, they look stupid.

well back to the topic, my t-shirts get torn into shreds sometimes. i still have 10year old t-shirt i bought from a fieldtrip to rodos and it's fine but other shirts from that time have been shredded. and my casual pants always have holes in the knees..

I used to put holes in my old work shirts constantly, but didn't care much since I was working on construction sites. Just about all of the guys in that trade put holes in their shirts and jeans, and purposefully wear clothes like that so they don't waste better clothing. Working with wood, nails, and steel will rip holes in your clothes no matter how cautious you are. I had a certain set of clothes I put aside just for working with concrete - concrete will eat away stitching and clothing fibers after a time, so I dedicated my most worn out stuff for that. I also used my most scruffy pair of glasses when I poured foundations and walls, since I learned that concrete will also eat away the protective coating on lenses. You could usually identify the slackers by how clean and untouched their clothing was. Those were the ones who loitered around the offices and disappeared when work showed up.

How long before your mother sends to the laundromat to wash your own stuff?

[QUOTE=Brynn]And my problem is that my Levi's jeans had a whole at the knee last week (a tiny one, wasn't even a whole, but you could see one single thread torn) and by now almost the whole part under the knee has come off!

Not to mention that they weren't cheap, and haven't even lasted for a year. So much for quality!

[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Livi's are pretty cheap.They are kind of uncomfortable to.Bot I also had a pair of Lee dungaree's, This is one of my least favorite of memories,I had them for the longest time and they had holes on the knees, stitch that were facing each other, (I am sorry if my poor description is vauge) on both legs were torn, And there were stains all over the pant legs.

[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]Well, there was this pair of boxer shorts that I wore 'till they went to kingdom come. One day, I'm fetching them from the launrey and notice how large the fly (in the front) appeared. Suddenly, I come to find out that that's actually the rear end my undergarment!

So, here I am, holding this pair of boxers, baffled, when both my grandmother and (IIRC) my younger brother come into the room. My brother, being the clever and snide guy he is, does this little quip about how unusual that is. My grandmother - despite her long lack of good jokes - says the one thing that just about makes it a crack-up: she says "It's a blow-out!"

Overall, I don't remember that pair splitting when I was in the middle of something (somewhat soft fabric) or if it was in the wash. Me, I'm a rather trim but sometimes strenuously busy guy, so I tend to take better care of myself than many of my things.

Galuf, your grandma is pretty funny. I wish mine said stuff like that.

Actually, it was only in that case that she was that funny. Otherwise, you'd claim that she's kind-of dull and a flight of stairs (if not a few steps) away from a nursing home if you lived with her.

That was one of the main arguments from her side for winning the discussion. "Why don't you wash it yourself then!!" so I didn't say anything after that.

Well, at least she's still with it enough to make funny comments.

I'm sorry, pal. At least she's still kicking, though. My grandparents are all dead except one and he's in a nursing home and doesn't know who anybody is. Makes visiting him a very sad event, though he still loves his beer.

Yeah, mind's SLOWLY going on my grandma (she and my other grandma are my only grandparents left).

Remind me not to become a construction worker! *suddenly feels like cradling his glasses in his hands*

I don't know if it was the fabric or what, but I had this one nice soft pair of pajama bottoms that wore out at the cuffs. After a number of washes, the things looked like something a pirate (or at least the skeleton of one) would wear!

I usually only get holes in my jeans.

But it's weird, because sometimes, when I'm at school, I'll sometimes see a stain in my shirt, when I was quite sure there was none that morning.

Sometimes it's the light. I always find that the light in my apartment and sunlight always show me different defects in my clothing. I can see the hole in my place, but not outside unless I look carefully, or I can see the stain in the sunlight, but in my slightly subdued apartment I don't notice it.

Are there dwarven pirates, Galuf? I can't imagine a dwarf not taking care of his armor and weaponry, but I guess pants would be a different story.

D'aaaaaaaar!!!

Speaking of which, I did actually dress up as a pirate for work on Halloween last year. Co-workers and customers alike couldn't get enough of that (and the personality that came packaged with it).

Sure about what though?

a friend of mine once managed to split his trousers quite dramatically. we went out one night, and the only pair he had were his manky old work trousers. they were quite tight - and I suspect he had put on some weight since buying them - and, as he sat down quickly, they split. completely.

the rip started just below the fly, and it rapidly spread in both directions, only stopping when it reached the strip of denim around the top. the legs were held together only by that strip and a button.

since then, he has taken to wearing underpants more regularly
