My boyfriend just called me wanting me to meet him after work because he needs new work jeans. Not so unusual, except for the fact that we bought him a new pair of work jeans about a month ago, and another about a month before that! What is he doing to his jeans?!

Basically, he's supposed to wear black trousers to work, his workmates all wear black combat trousers but there's no way my boyfriend would ever wear anything like that. So he wears black mens jeans , but whatever pairs we buy him, they always end up fading and looking grey after only a wash or two.

We've even bought expensive jeans like Lee and Levis, and they end up doing the same thing. He might just have to start wearing trousers or combats, it's getting ridiculous, a new pair of jeans every month just costs too much money!
