I’d like to open the floor to suggestions on what to do with your used denim that’s pretty much beyond repair and would otherwise be thrown out.

there really needs to be some kind of denim recycling plant because throwing out your jeans just strikes me as wasteful. :\

One idea I had was to maybe take parts of the leg to use as elbow patches on a casual cotton sport coat. I think that would look pretty badass on a khaki chino jacket — I’d wonder how using the honeycombs at the back of the leg near the knees would look on a jacket’s elbows.

If you were any good at sewing you could maybe reuse the fabric to make an iPhone case (perhaps even using the red-line selvedge along an edge).

Any other ideas folks?
