Today everyone wants everything to look old and worn except for our faces, HA HA. I have two top of the line teachers that teach making jeans and both show you how and when to distress your jean fabric before you do certain steps. They are looking old before they are even created into something useful. To bad it wasn't like that growing up, we were lucky to have shoes and if we did, I guarantee they had holes in them. We hated them but today we'd be right on trend. Go figure.
