I'm not in favour of things just because they are vintage or because they are modern. Era doesn't matter, I just want GOOD.

I think modern jeans are designed for wearing while sitting around in in front of a screen, not for actually moving about in. There are some echoes the the past though. The recent trend of jeans with the crotch down by the knees reminds me of a pair Mum bought me from Woolworths in the early 70s and I have a pair from the 80s with "fashionable" holes in the knees for creosoting.
I couldn't agree more about things being good. I will take the good things from the present - fast internet connections, LED lighting along with durable good stuff made yesteryear.
