100 washes and still chugging

My favorite jeans were once the darkest blue
but have since faded to a shade of
washed-out gray
and they used to be
half an inch longer
and hemmed at the bottom
but, my favorite jeans
are still made of
super-cool
stretch-denim
with patch pockets
and copper contrast stitching
(why, they would not be
my favorite jeans
without them.)
