Great question. I feel repairs are a personal preference. Some people love them, and some repairs are really beautiful. I wouldn't reject a pair of vintage jeans if they had repairs, but like everything about a pair – color, fade, style no, etc – the repairs will factor into what you like/don't like about them. Same goes for knee holes, btw. Personally, I don't like hole-y jeans, but others love them. Go with what moves you.
Meg from Jean Genie Vintage is such an amazing source for vintage Levis, I am on my 5th pair from her!
I'm obsessed. Thank you for reading, Jen!
I LOVE THIS SERIES WITH MY WHOLE HEART
Thank you for putting in the request!
What about vintage pairs that have repairs?
