Does anyone else find it rather odd that you pay big bucks for jeans that look like they have been through the wringer?

My kids want big brand name stuff that looks slightly straggly to me but I guess that’s the style.

At ThreadBanger they show you step by step how to create a pair of vintage looking jeans by dying them with espresso coffee, attacking them with a cheese shredder and using sand paper to imprint shapes. Then they even run them over a couple times. Thread Banger is an excellent site with tons of fun DIY projects and I think I’ll hang out there some more.

For the dye, you just stick the coffee in an old stocking as a filter and then place hot water and jeans into a bucket. Check out the DIY Jeans with Coffee video.
