Step 1. Take a perfectly good pair of jeans

Sure as night follows day. Once everyone has ruined their jeans, pristine, dark Levis will be back in vogue.

It still amazes me that people actually pay money for pre destroyed jeans....stupid!

This angers me on a lot of levels.

.I love to shame people and tell them if they got a better paying job they could afford a pair of pants w/o holes in them.
nel2420
I told my wife buy the cheaper good pair and I'll rip them for her
Dpunch4
I bought some nice jeans that had some very small "wear" marks. The tiny little marks grew in to massive holes in 3 weeks. I was furious.
Dpunch4
They were $50 from a good brand. The little marks are designed to get bigger on their own really quickly so you can "wear" them yourself.

This is really distressing

Ahh but selling jeans with holes is pure fucking genius. Actually I have a couple pairs I can sell on eBay brb

So is the chain across the door, but how else are you gonna make distressed jeans?

Distress the people making them!

And breathing hazard. Many people who make jeans in 3rd world countries die of asphyxiation because of felted lungs from long term 1/2

"felted lungs" sounds absolutely horrifying.

To increase their cost, while lowering their durability. Works out well for them.

I got some 'weathered' jeans because the denim was softer, and they were a lot more comfortable than normal ones like that. Only $30, though
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
Was at the library and my 1 year old kept pointing at those holes in this woman's pants and babbling loudly at her. You know it's bad when
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
even babies tell you that your pants are broken.
LilBoyFarquaad
Or some people like that type of pants and you and your kid can let people wear it
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
Yes, my baby and I both proposed new legislation to outlaw holes in pants. Thank you for keeping freedom alive.
charlottadupont
Dang, that's more legislation than the current administration has handled. At least, a baby wouldn't approve taking children away, probably
Pcakester
idk why I like them either, I shouldnt, but i have a couple pairs cause light distress looks alright, imo
MinnesotaMathew
maybe buy regular new pants and wear them longer?
Pcakester
I do both, but in reality pants dont rip that perfectly, you just get thigh holes
Cthulhukitten
Why are you trying to change his mind? He likes it that way, why should he wear pants he doesn't like for a year until he likes em??
MinnesotaMathew
to save him money

The distressed look isn't necessarily more expensive tho

I had similar issues with bleaching agents. That fashion didn't stick around for long enough though.

His don't get dyed, his are completely eaten through. Gives them a very distressed look, pretty much what I see in some stores
WhatzitTooya
I should try to sell my old jeans as authentic. $1200 bucks a pair should underline the amount of authenticity put into them.

You could probably sell them for $150 a piece.

TheNuclearRabbit
I'd imagine that kind of work gets 1500RMB/month. No days off is 50RMB/day. That converts to $7.77/day at current exchange rates.
TheNuclearRabbit
Per The Economist, average factory work in China pays $27.50 per day, so I probably lowballed it by a lot.
LurkerOfDarkness
Still, I make 27.40 USD/hr (at todays exchange rate) and it's not even a high earning job.
BearToof
That’s what, $60k a year in USD? Not too bad - where do you live? I guess that would make more a difference.
LurkerOfDarkness
Denmark, so full time is 37 h/wk, 5+1 weeks vacation time (i get 12.5% of what I earned last year paid out as vacationpay).
