I don't believe in not washing your jeans or my jeans.  Don't be gross.

Rolled Up Jeans

I guess I can live without auto-focus.  Since I don't and can't use any auto exposure by the camera, the unchanged f-stop and shutter speed combination across frames guarantee consistent exposure and look.

(note:  I correct myself, this is more a cuffed than a rolled-up)

Everybody is wearing his jeans or pants rolled up now--even when there is no torrential rain or flood.  It's such an epidemic that I have no way to immune myself from.  Sorry.

According to Mr. Giovanni Petrin, as reported by the New York Times article, nobody tortures jeans better than the Chinese, not the Romanians nor the Africans. Mr. Petrin is the CEO of Martelli Lavorazioni Tessili, the Italian leading jeans manufacturer for brands ranging from Gucci to Gap.

I normally prefer to have a natural history with my jeans. I bought them hard and wear them to death; I did that at least twice or three times. I still avoid jeans with man made holes and whiskers. I am still old school I prefer to fuck up my jeans myself instead of paying a premium to let somebody do it.

According to the article, premium jeans are $60 and up and elite jeans are over $130. I don't think I ever paid that much for a pair of jeans. I guess my ass will not look any better anyway.
