Sometimes people struggle with the appropriate look or fashion trend to settle with. And its no wonder, with artists like Lady Gaga out there, the “bar” for what is fashionable seems to be constantly “adjusted” – I can’t say whether it is rising or falling, but I know it is fluctuating! At any rate, luckily for me one thing has never gone out of fashion- stonewashed jeans ! I love them.

It is hard to overvalue or overstate my affinity for stonewashed jeans. Ever since my days as a youth in Chino, I knew my love affair with this distressed style of denim pants was going to be life long indeed. My first pair of Levi’s 501s, when I was just a wee lad of 6 years old, were heavily stonewashed with a mixture of granite and opal stones.
