i know what you mean. i could have gotten the olives for super close to retail but didn't . Also those mint suedes with the gum outsoles from last year. could have gotten them for like 60 with FNL rewards card at one point.
i think the reason crotches get holes (haha,) is because of the excess denim rubs together. i would imagine less baggy jeans may wear slower than more baggy? not 100% on this though.
i remember you posted them a few months ago. they still good to me!
def wait till that special occasion to rock the ds pair. i still need the all green pair haha
my apc's are holding up better than my nudies have. i had a tear where the back pocket is stitched on before 3 months of wear, crotch blow out at 4 months(nudie organic dry selvage).
