      Wow. That pair looks incredibly silly to me.

      I was just thinking that but didn't want to say it. I really don't know how I feel about that dude's jeans, I follow them on instagram just because all of the fades look like that but I always scratch my head. Looks like they were worn in a super salty ocean and worn to dry or something?

        Yeah, I just feel like those aren’t natural looking fade patterns at all. I see this a lot in extremely faded pairs on Insta, etc — they just look like they’ve been pinched in all kinds of areas and helped along, maybe with sandpaper or something? Jeans don’t fade like that.

          Sounds accurate…I have the urge to pinch folded parts on my thighs here and there- mainly because the give in the fabric just feels cool- but these look like pinched and fingernails dragged up and down, absolutely everywhere.

            Yeah for sure — I’m not gonna sit here and say I haven’t done that too haha. I just struck me as extreme with this one. Also not trying to come off as a shit talker over here, as I’m not even participating :D. They just left me a little dumbfounded.

                      The above pair definitely looks sanded and filtered & I can smell that engine block pair from here.

                              my comment was about that super dirty pair on the engine.
                              In my opinion a fade contest is not about destroying a pair of jeans in a short time or to make them dirty as
                              possible.
                              I wear my jeans at work too and so do a lot of others , like James and Roxy for example ( just to mention someone from our forum)
                              never saw their jeans that dirty and abused.
                              But maybe I am wrong , don’t know . Just my opinion 😎

                                I don't understand the motivation to comment on someone else's pants when it's not a final submission. For all you know they could have just gotten done with a dirty job and not washed them yet. If you don't trust the judges, why enter in the first place?

                                If letting his jeans get filthy is part of his process to get fades, it's HIS process and really no one else's business.

                                I just not getting going all Mean Girls on the dude.

                                shrug

                                  Oh okay I understand now. Last year was heated with some folks flat out saying some people's fades on the FB were fake and sandpapered.

                                    I don't see any reason why dirty jeans dude should get any flack competition-wise. The jeans are obviously filthy as hell but they don't look phony or anything.

                                      And if the judges got snookered by perceived cheating last time, why enter?

                                      If they didn't, why comment?

                                      I'm not in the comp so I'll just shut up now, probably should take my own advice and stay muted.

                                          Can’t imagine putting them on 🤢
