With the income he would earning, you would think he could afford a pair of pants without big holes in the knees. I'm sure Turners could slip an extra $100 to go down to Hallensteins and pick up a new pair :)
You might not realise that people actually buy new jeans with big holes (they call them ripped or distressed jeans) ... and actually, they are often more expensive than the undamaged trousers. Clearly - it does cost money to rip them.
Who knows, he might be wearing new Hallenstein jeans off the shelf?

I am sure Liam will be rolling in the big Formula Apex bucks one day. But no-one gets rich racing in the junior formulas, because their expenses are so high. I think the Red Bull sponsorship covers Liam's racing expenses but not his accommodation for instance. So Liam still needs other external sponsorship to keep his career going.
You also don't get the 'ripped jeans' thing. These pants arrive at the retailer intact, whereby highly paid people called 'ripper offers' with real skill mark out where to make the rips and how to make the rips, - a process that doubles the cost base of the jeans :-P.
SNOOPY
'ripper offers' ................lol.
It was a bit tongue in cheek BP, re the jeans thing hence the :)!
Mind you I'm not 25 any longer so not my style in any event, plus I want to keep my knees warm!
Hallensteins may do well if people see what Liam is wearing, perhaps he could ask them for a few dollars from therm as well!
