I don't necessarily agree with this statement. Compared to 45rpms, maybe, but..

Which could explain why they wear more quickly than that.

Nah. Many of us wash our jeans once a month or every couple months. Augusto's wearing isn't unusual. 2 months and one wash, essentially. If you wore your jeans 9 months every day with no wash, yea they'd be pretty damn beat up and a bit smelly to boot.

Well they are made with 'different, some would say worse' denim than most nudies.

Fabric like armor
warms the heart in winter's chill;
but what of the spring?

And in summer's sun,
bootcut's light feeling becomes
blessing of the gods!

Coincidentally I just washed my Ralfs for the 1st time tonight. Fading is decent, few light whiskers, no honeycombs, but huge constrast/distressing on the inside of both cuffs (at the heel). There's no hole, yet - but I can tell one's coming.

Post useless w/o pics? In the morning.........

Wow... I wash my jeans like once every two weeks, sometimes wearing them only twice or three times
