Thread: Show us your impulse buy

To celebrate the wife's survival, I bought meself a new pair of jeans - a limited edition that I noticed on my favourite Japanese jeans website... I was both happy that:

1) The wife survived. At some points it really didn't look like she would... Here's an indication of her problems from a hospital document:



2) The bill was 16 million won (which in itself isn't bad considering she spend 16 days in hospital; 3 in an isolation unit, 3 an an emergency ICU, 3 in "ICU 2" and the other 5 in a maximum care respiratory ward (4 people were in the ward when the wife was moved in, 2 beds were empty before we left, and the last patient in there when we left was deteriorating - very sad. They were older than the wife, but these respiratory problems are not a nice way to go), but the insurance paid 75%. That's a bill of about 430,000 Thai baht, and I ended up paying a bit over 100,000 Thai baht. The insurance really helped out...

So the new jeans - 15.7oz. Sanforized Momotaro Original Indigo x Black Selvedge denim; so they are nice and dark, but will lighten up to a glorious blue with wear.








Here is my set (actually, I have one more pair of Copper Label in a 32" which I may never fit into again...):




From L to R:

Black that I wear to work.

New pair as in other pics.

Normal everyday pair that I wore for 14 days straight, 24 hours a day in the hospital... They are so comfy.

IndigoxBlack pair that I've had a while and are very blue now. They are a much slimer cut with taper which isn't my favourite style.

Copper Label edition which I really like, but are a size 34", so just a bit hurtful upon my hernia (I'll get that operation done once the wife has recovered more).
