Ever heard
denim?”
If you watch any amount of
evening television, you’ll know
that the worn look in blue jean
material, styled into a variety of
fashions by those exclusive
designer houses, continues to be a
hot “in” look.
Imagine that. I’v spent the bulk
of my adult life in distinctly
distressed duds, and all along

“distressed
known ’em as “barn clothes.”
No doubt about it, wriggling into
a brand new, bright blue, card
board-like pair of denim jeans
causes one to harbor images of
dressing in two-by-fours.
One of life’s little horrors is
being forced to wear such stiff
newness, or jeans that haven’t met
the washing machine’s
ministrations at least a half dozen
times. Still, there’s really nothing
better to “distress” a pair of jeans
than hacking around in them for a
few days of good, Old-fashioned
farm work.
Rub the seat of those new brit
ches around a hot, metal tractor
seat for a couple of days, further
annomting them with hands that
have been intimately greasing the
baler, changing combine motor oil
and fixing the blown-out hydraulic
hoses on the windrower.
Then, let’em mature for a couple
of weeks in the sunshine, fresh air,
rain, hail and whatever else the
weather offers, on the back of a
dusty pickup, where the dog will
seize every opportunity to stretch
out on them to snap at fleas.
Air condition them with a couple
of ragged, three-comer tears,
preferably nothing less than three
inchers. These added features can
be acquired on barbed wire fences,
jerry-rigged cattle gate repairs,
and the never-ending nail ends that
peek out from the comers of every
old farm building known.

value from their original shiny-
Wue cost. Distressed jeans, if you
haven’t guessed by now, sell for
about twice the cost of normal
ones.
As I see it, if we farmers all left
each member of our families
distress a couple of pairs each
month, then resold them at
designer-distressed prices, we
could certainly help with the cash
flow crunch that continues to
plague the agriculture economy.
