          Oh yeah, that thread should go down in history as far as what not to do with your denim!

            My favourite comment, this is an idea I would support  😃

            If OP is willing, I think this should be made into a pair of traveling pants. He sends it to another member of the community to do whatever mind-numbingly ridiculous "fade" technique they can think of, document the process with photos and/or video, then they pass it on. After 6 months of utter insanity, they get submitted to Heddels for Fade Friday. After that, the Smithsonian. Or maybe Ripleys. Who's with me?!

            OP, I'm in too deep on this idea. Not even joking, I will gladly buy those from you to make this a reality if that's what it takes.

                  Honest to god, I read that and thought, "oh, that is such a great idea. I wonder if we could do it on the IH forum?"

                                In all fairness, it's a satire site…

                                But let's be honest... Levi's doesn't need help when it comes to creating strange/ugly jeans

                                  Didn’t even check the link, just saw the pic. Lazy.

                                  In my defence I’m focusing most of my attention on these bad boys at the minute. Everything else is peripheral.

                                    Niiiiiice. Can’t blame you there. Also, there’s so many jeans out there with terrible stencils, it could totally have been real.

                                          LVC has done much, much worse than even the Onion can devise.  Great boots btw.
