Jeans vs. Cargo

The zillion pocketed, hip hop style funky cargo or an old fashioned vintage cowboy jeans?


Well, it’s been some years since I first noticed the new trend in my valley…I think I was in my high school those days when I saw some friend wearing a funky and unusual BUT SUPPOSEDLY COOL army trouser..!

Those were the days when the trousers (cargo) took off in the valley….and soon it was like a trendy revolution sucking youth into it…
All those multi colored, loose fit, funky hip hop style cargo’s became the Gen next fashion statement…
And the worst thing was that that all the cargo were meant to be UNISEX…so that basically means the same trousers for a babe or a dude…!

Well yea, I must confess the cargo revolution even sucked me into it…and for some time it was like really COOL wearing a cargo and going around…
And yes, must say...The Cargo (don’t know where it get’s it name from) were really comfortable…the loose and light, free fit trousers with enormous color range…and yes, how can I forget the most essential feature of a cargo…the zillion pockets with enough space to let you forget the idea of carrying bags…!
Big, baggy pockets…wonder what they were supposed for….still remember the oldies asking me why I needed so many sacks (baggy pockets!)…hah…
And the trend still continues sucking the youth into its pockets…!

But then, Levis Strauss had not created the jeans for just a decade…
Yes, cargo was like an obsession in youth, but I already knew that I couldn’t stay away from the good old fashioned jeans which had seen my legs grow from few inches to few feet now….!
Jeans which I grew up in, couldn’t be forgotten so easily……
It was like my home calling me…come home to the world of jeans…!!!! Heh

And there had to be a D!V!N3 intervention (as always…!!!!)

this time it was one last jeans left alone in my wardrobe…hiding behind all that cargo jungle…there it lay…neglected, sitting silently and living the last days of its rugged life…torn and tattered, faded but with still enough courage to show its blue….(Damn.... it was so dead that it only required the last rites to be performed to officially state it as dead…!)

But lemme tell ya…that’s The Romance of a Jeans…the faded and rugged, torn and tattered, hardcore jeans….that’s the kind of jeans worth dying for….
So here it was….the vintage good old blue jeans living it’s last few days against a wardrobe full of young and funky cargo’s …and it had to be a jeans which as always won my heart…
I swear. ..that day and this day, I haven’t even touched a cargo…let them suffer for keeping beloved jeans out of my legs for such a long time…!

There’s nothing in this world like a faded blue jeans…it’s classic...it’s vintage…and yeah it’s damn stylish!
After all, only few of us know the fact that the brand new jeans which come out of a factory are sent back to the factory only to be beaten and thrashed against crushed stones to give them that rugged and faded one year old look….!!! (It’s true…brand new, fresh jeans seldom sell in the market…!)
Denim can be called as God’s own cloth…! Nothing like an old Blue Denim jeans....seriously…
it’s been around for more than a century but it still hasn’t lost any demand, not even the funky Cargo could keep us away from the romance of a good old fashioned cowboy jeans…

And thanks God….there is nothing such as a UNISEX jeans to drive me nuts…..!
Haha….

Hmmm…I still wonder which side you folks on…..
Leave some comments to decide, whether A Cargo or a Jeans???
