After watching "Such a Stupid Way to Die" at the age of 14 I've never owned, nor wore a pair of jeans in my life.
yeah I havent owned any cotton pants since I was a teen. three teens were lost in kahurangi in winter, two of them died, the ones who died were wearing a lot of cotton clothes, the one who lived was the only one wearing wool....
