I like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

idea: add, search, annotate, link, view, overview, recent, by name, best, random

Really old, new clothes

Currently there is a fashion for ready faded denim products, that are supposed to look 'lived in' but really look like you have sat in some in bleach. In the eighties ripped jeans were in vogue

Why not combine these ideas and take the result one step further?

Clothes could be sold faded, torn and holed with a variety of stains splashed across them such as paint and varnish, the effects of a leaked biro in a shirt pocket could be replicated and a 'sweat' treatment could be applied to armpits.

For the really fashion conscious, the tramp look could be a real hit. Clothes in this vein would be vomit stained and come with a scent of a mixture of urine and meths.

I can't wait for this to appear on the catwalk.

       Holds out lighter, flicks open lid, spins flint, ignites flame.   

       Lights cigar and toss's foil wrapped chocolate money into tin can.   

       Moves on.

       Yeah, you'll have to buy old clothes, and donate brand new clothes to the homeless.

       [El dorado Jr] People will still buy new clothes just as they buy 'natural look' makup which makes you look like you arent wearing any makup.

       Well, you can't blame them. Fashion is simply a form of ugliness so intolerable it must be altered every month.   

       Meanwhile, those 'Faded, Washed Out' jeans make me look fat.

       Oh, you would just love how my fella dresses. One of our passtimes is working out how many items of clothing he is wearing that he has bought himself. The answer, even when working outside and wearing about 9 layers, is almost invariably, "none". Everything is second or third hand, patched, ripped, holey, stained, faded, worn cheesecloth thin or otherwise distressed.   

       He wouldn't go for factory pre-distressed clothing though. Probably something to do with authenticity or keepin it real or some such bollox (I just nod and smile).

       Baked by the CIA, because real hobo clothes might have diseases.
