Accidental shien thrift still deserves love

I recently bought a pair of trousers that I really liked the colours and fit off. Awesome! No real issues here.

It wasn't until I got into the car with the rest of my thrifting company that I discovered I had bought a pair of shien trousers. Wow! Great! That explains why the belt loop broke when I tried to put them on!

siiiiiggggghhhhh.

I couldn't return them obviously, and I still really liked them. But now there's an explination as to why I'm gonna have to repair them more often than most jeans. I'm gonna see this as an opportunity to strengthen them and my skills in sashiko.

I'm not gonna let them go to landfill!
