The following are the different reactions of people who saw my brand new, washed out RAGZ Absolute Huggers Jeans
~ The Father
“Usually, old and time-worn clothes must be given away to the underprivileged. It is good philanthropy.”
~ The Mother
“When you don’t look like a pickpocket at Dadar Station, you end up looking like a Juice Seller at Paharganj. I can’t understand why you wear what you wear. If it has to be jeans, why not new and clean ones?”
~ The Friend
“Hey cool stuff!! Kitna damages? Can I borrow them sometime?”
~ The Ex-girlfriend
“Wow, this is so Vivek Oberoi, but you are not, in case you get some big galat fehmi (mistaken notion/ delusions of grandeur). You went shopping alone again and all you could buy me are VCDs of some nauseating movies that reflect your awful tastes….” and blah blah blah!

RAGZ, is radically stylish denim stuff, mostly jeans. Wear RAGZ and Rock people around!

You must meet Akash. I like the sales people like him in malls, who talk a lot, and expand my vocabulary with new terminologies (so that I can show off over here).
The RAGZ I have are regular blues but sandblasted (also called monkey-washed by some people), constructed with brown filler yarns to make them look very dirty, very rough and also very sexy. It makes them what is called “distressed denims”.
So like gene splicing, in which two different genes are merged to get a new one, here too two different looks are merged to get a distressed denim (I know this comparison sounds too corny, but I’m simply repeating verbatim what Akash told me)
RAGZ also has an Ozone fade range that gives a very interesting look to the jeans. They come in a range of mid-rise, body hugging denim legs wear with semi-flares and are available in different looks. Bold and rugged to soft. A good variety of rather off-beat colors, apart from regular blues. Different washes and textures too. They come in a range of INR 1100 to 1500.
All in all the range that RAGZ has, is HOT n Rocking right now, before its out of fashion!
What’s more, I got a sexy sling-bag free too, which is, by and large, too hep and too collegian for me now at this rather advancing age. Anyone wants it?

An unsolicited tip on buying jeans
-----------------------------------------------------------
# Whatever you do, DONT take either parent along when buying jeans. You will always end up buying the wrong jeans that would look better on your tauji in the village.
Whenever I see kids come to select jeans with their parents, the parents force them to buy miserable jeans. I met this 13/14-year-old kid in such a situation, when I was buying myself my RAGZ.
His daddy insisted on entering the trial room to thrust his choice on the poor kid, who instead wanted to buy what I was buying, RAGZ. But daddy wouldn’t have any of that and explained that such jeans were meant for gundaas only.
As I was checking the labels of RAGZ jeans, they had the line, ''Someone else got to choose your genes, not your jeans'' and realized the aptness of this yet another corny marketing line for the poor kiddo.
Near the payment counter I told the long and sullen faced kid, ''Beta, next time jeans lene ko aayoge toh daddy ko ghar pe rakhke aana.'' (Next time, lock daddy in the loo) The kid agreed with me fully but added, ''Lekin, Uncle phir paisa kaun dega?'' (You right. But then who would pay?)
Point noted. Any solutions?
