There was a Miller's Outpost near my high school where everyone bought their Levi's 501 jeans. You had to soak those things in bleach before you could wear them, they were so stiff.
I buy all my jeans as dark blue and stiff as I can as they last 3x longer. Why pay $$$ for already worn out jeans?
My grandparents live near the Del Amo mall in Southern California. There used to be giant blue Ohrbachs building there. I haven't thought about them in ages.
