The stuff sells or else it wouldn't be there. Still, that doesn't mean I have to like it or take it home with me. I wouldn't wear whiskered jeans even if they were given to me for free, and I could easily go a long time without jeans if that's all I could find. I didn't buy any new clothing during the '90s because I hated the styles. I hope I don't ever have to go that long without new clothes again, but I'd do it if I had to. I like what I like, and I don't like what I don't like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675945 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 14:04:15 +0000 shoppingisfun 675945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, especially in bootcut styles. LOFT has some non-whiskered options, but get this--the dark blue, non whiskered bootcut kind are "online exclusives"! At least, the petite ones are. Not sure about the regular sizes. Lame. I am sick of seeing nothing but skinny jeans (plus they never did look right on me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675908 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:34:58 +0000 Amy 675908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hear hear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675907 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:34:46 +0000 Angie 675907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whiskering is considered "cool". And it probably sold very well at retail so buyers bumped up the volumes. Now of course, like all good things, the look has flooded the market and we are left without an assortment of variation :(</p> <p>On that note, it was SO HARD to find my Papa soft dark blue jeans sans any distressing a few weeks ago, (he is a few months shy of 80). Thanks to Levis we were sorted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675902 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:27:56 +0000 Lisa 675902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, I go nuts looking for denim with little to no whiskering. And also denim with dark washes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675894 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:08:21 +0000 Anonymous 675894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree completely and leave those jeans at the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675885 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:48:12 +0000 nancylee 675885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675883 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:47:24 +0000 cjh 675883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. I guess part of my objection is I don't like to spend lots of money on something that already looks worn out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675868 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:53:55 +0000 Anonymous 675868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AMEN! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675864 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:49:20 +0000 JennyAnne 675864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, I agree. I'm all for choice and variety, but in the past few years, it's been difficult to find dark jeans without the whiskering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-denim-manufacturers-stop-already-with-the-whiskering#post-675862 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:23:33 +0000 April 675862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHY do so many jeans come with this type of built-in distressing at the tops of the thighs? </p> <p>Does it provide some flattering advantage of which I'm unaware? </p>
