      This is a warrant point I accept Giles. Giving the opportunity to experience something you probably never will due to personal circumstances.
      But I don’t completely agree with Gav in seeing that it is not comparable to pre-distressing of whole jeans. And to reduce pre-distressing to simply a worn-in look is a bit disrespectful to many pre-distressers (you can also find in Japan) that give lots of thought in the design they want to achieve and how they get that effect in the end. Some of these guys are also very creative and passionate about what they do.

      Aaaaand: having combs on your calves and whiskers down to your knees is also only possible by buying pre-distressed jeans. An experience you can’t make on your own 😃

          man, I nearly forgot about him. Anyways, what happened to him (besides getting married)?
          And I have to admit, his name slipped my mind

            Passionate and creative they may be, but it's simply not for me. Also they are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to the per distress process, the majority of which is being done by sweat shop labour using carcinogenic silicone powder, but I think you knew exactly what I was referring to  😉

              I dont really see it as pre-distressed i guess. I kinda look at em like MOP snaps or some knives that have a stone wash or tumbled finish. "Special" finish i guess lol. Giles could have easily just left a bag of them open on the boat while he fished and then they would be "natural".  Regardless, its a very small detail that will prob look pretty cool.

                  Do the backs need to be distressed? Wondering if there's a structural integrity concern. They do look lovely though.

                  Think it, be it.

                      Seeing those on a new pair of jeans hardly seems like something pre distressed to me. "Hey, those are cool buttons!"

                      "Thanks! There's a cool story behind them…."

                      Well, I think it's cool.

                                          Based on how good they look on the T1…

                                          ...why not put them on the Loom Breakers?

                                          Think it, be it.
