<0:24-0:27> As such, we made them ourselves!

You could easily have done that with some sand paper or a scissor or both.

Ok now that I think about it, maybe not. But [i]maybe[/i] with sand paper.

I don't really know. It just didn't look THAT good.

I see 1 flaw

Jeans that are cosmetically ripped properly last longer than home made ones, as the homemade ones continue to rip along the tears.

If you use a knife and cut the denim strand-by-strand you can make it look the same way, to get the longevity I believe you tie the frayed ends down and re-stitch it outside of the tears.

I modify my own pants as well, but I didn't think about actually wearing them down like this.
