DAMMIT!
I thought I was quickly becoming an expert on denim after hanging around here for a while, but it looks like I made a major f-up.
I bought a pair of Earnest Sewn Fultons, based on recommendations here, as my second pair of good denim. I was looking for something a little more comfy for sitting around in than my first pair, some really slim and tight Takumis. The Fultons fit great, the denim and detailing look great, the Line Dry style seems cool, I was looking forward to a long, bonding, wearing-in process, but then...
I notice the tag that says: 88% cotton, 12% polyester! WTF?!!! I thought polyester was a war crime against all that is good, and pure, and holy, and authentic about denim! I can't believe it!
The ES site goes on an on about their jeans being "handcrafted", "vintage", "hand picked cotton", blah blah blah... They don't mention anything about poly blends at all.
Was I wrong to assume they were pure cotton? Is this the end of the world as I know it? Should I call them and *****? Or will they just say, hey you should have read the tag before you wore them.
Or am I just being a big girl about the whole thing?
