but if you really wanna do it, its not that hard
jsut cut them at different angles with sharp scissors. dull ones work pretty good to actually. or just cut a small hole and then work at it with your fingers until you get it how you want it. i use to drag mine on the carpet until they looked worn & it made the hole look like it came that way, haha. good luck!

Razhie answered Saturday April 1 2006, 9:27 pm: I don't really shop at either of those stores but I'm assuming you mean distressing the jeans so that you can see the white threads beneath.
Just use sandpaper, a pumice stone or even a nail file on the area. Place something hard underneath the layer you are trying to distress to make it easier, a block of wood works well and make sure you blow the little bits of denim that come loose as you file. After a little bit, the white threads will appear, do not file those guys. If you do you'll just make a hole, not a wear mark.
Distressed jeans you buy from designers are made to stay the way they look, but if you are distressing your own pair, the rips will eventually start to grow and tear larger and larger. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
