Ever wonder why distressed and vintage looking jeans are so expensive compared to those crisp new ones? Well, because they are all made to look that way individually manually(mano-a-mano) . Each scratch, tear, buttons, stitches and patches was placed by hand not machine manufactured as what most of us thought it was.
I appreciated distressed jeans more now because I tried making one at the Lee 125 Years Anniversary kick-off event at Glorietta.
He was teaching me how to make my heans look a little faded on some areas using a sandpaper!
Then grinding the jeans for that worn-out look!
Then there’s buttoning which they did for me coz I can’t and don’t know how to operate that machine!
I’ll show you how my DIY distressed jeans looked like on my #OOTD #WIWTD.

Isn’t iot just crazy how we would want a not so perfect pair of pants and yet pay for them at such high price? LOL I also have a few pairs of distressed jeans which I love to wear when I am just too lazy to doll up/
Ohh sanding and grinding ….hmm…now I know ahhaha thanks for sharing 😉
So that’s how you distress jeans pala. Interesting! I’ll look forward to your ‘finished product’! 🙂
