I don't care if the distressing is done by wearing denim for decades or using hungry rats and coral skeletons. I'd just like to see some before and after pics to compare to what you can get out there as a pre-distressed buy.

It's sounding more like everyone likes the natural "wear only" distress but no one does this?

If you haven't noticed, most ppl in S&D like raw denim, but like most people on Styleforum in general, they also enjoy buying stuff, so most people have like 3-4 pairs of raw jeans they're working on, meaning most of them still look... raw heh
