Jeans pants
This was the time when the eastern
world was leaning towards the fashion of the western world. The Western world
was seen as developed and civilized.
And the eastern world was quick to
imitate the Western-style. Cinema in particular had a great role to westernize
our outlook. At this time, Western films were popular among the younger
generation and were in great demand.
Our only means of entertainment was
the cinema. In those days, Thursday and Saturday were days for English films.
Our school used to be over after Tiffin on Saturday and we were always ready to
go to the cinema hall that day to watch the English film, which would start at
2.00 pm. We had already packed our casual shirts in our school bags to wear
before entering the cinema hall.
In those days; Fiction films, love
stories, detective films, and cowboy films were screened. Among them, I mostly
loved watching cowboy movies
Of all the English actors, Clint
Eastwood was my favorite hero. I never missed his movies. Mostly he acted in
cowboy films.
Clint Eastwood was truly a great
hero to me. He looked a bit rough, but a handsome man, a strong man with a
different personality.
Even now I
can visualize him distinctly. On hot summer stormy desert; through the scattered
tall cactus plants, he is approaching riding on his black horseback. His body
was perfectly bouncing along with the gallops of the horse. On his head, a
round leather shepherd felt a hat to protect him from the scorching sun of the
desert, under which a gleaming eye and two thick eyebrows, and a cut mark on
his face, might be due to fighting with robbers.
By then he had reached me. I was
amazed to see his solid body, a very tall and strong handsome man with an
"I don't care" mustache above his dry lips.
He is wearing blue jeans pants and
a jacket, the colour of the jeans has faded and two revolvers are hanging
around his waist which he occasionally gropes. His brown dingo boots perfectly
match the rugged atmosphere of the desert.
I've seen him many times in a
cowboy movie; I can envisage this scene, he is firing a revolver at his enemies
so quickly with both his hands, leaving them no chance to take their revolver.
The enemy
helplessly lay on the ground and he blows the revolver's smoke and with a swift
spin he put the revolver on its case.
Soon he came to me I saw him like
Gulliver. The horse nearly crushed me; luckily a pebble saved me because I felt
as small as Lilliput in front of Gulliver. So he never saw me.
And as soon as he crossed me he
released the bridle and gave a signal kick that made the animal run away, and
it proceeded like a storm.
His blue jeans pants and jacket fit
well with his muscular body. I was very impressed with their getup.
I have fallen in love with blue
jeans since that day. Still, I love wearing jeans because it is very
comfortable and an all-weather dress. You do not need to iron it. Just pick up
your jeans, wear them and move on.
As far as I know, Levi’s, Wrangler
and Lee Jeans were some of the popular brands at that time, but it was not
easily available in the Indian market.
The original jeans were made of
pure cotton with double stitching by a thick yellow thread.
This is 2020; Still, I like wearing
jeans at this age. But the jeans these days have no match with the jeans of
those days. Nevertheless, according to the demand of the times, there are
varieties of fashionable jeans available in the market nowadays.
The market currently features jeans
pants made of nylon mix and many other materials, for both boys and girls and
for all age groups.
These days we do not need to go to
shops or malls to buy our clothes. All we have to do is click on Amazon. in or
Flipchart or any other sites.
But still, I like those original
branded cotton jeans and wish to wear them ...
