Quotes by Tom Chesshyre (?)

“You wouldn’t buy roughed up pairs of underpants or socks with designer holes in them. Would you shell out your hard-earned cash for a new car with designer scratches along the side? Or dented bumpers? Perhaps a windscreen crack and a few ripped seats? What is it about jeans that makes us want to look like down-and-outs?”
