    use sandpaper! you can lightly sand the edges to make them look worn. and if you put the jeans on and sit down, you can sand all the wrinkles that stick up around the front of your hips. i hope this makes sense.

    That's a really good idea. I never thought of that. Groovy!

    hehe why do u want to make them look old and worn out? haha whats the deal with people wanting their jeans 2 look all messed up? - Just buy some at goodwill then or something! OR wear them TILL they get messed up. BUT ya i gues you could use sandpaper or like make holes in them or something, but I don't get the point? Just saying...but i dont even wear jeans cuz i dont like em anyways :)

    throw them in the mud...run them over with your bike or car and then wash them.

    Spin around on some concrete. Lay on the concrete and then try to slide across it. Fall off of things onto concrete like I did. That works pretty well.

    you could just modify them alittle, like cut off the back pockets and replace them with a funky fabric, or make them into bellebottoms, or dye them a different colour.

    wear them everyday for two weeks, then wash them... they will be a perfectly worn in for life then.

    my jeans, i've had them for a little over a year, i'll post a picture of them one day. they're completely molded to my every curve. there's a hole on the right knee, it started out small, but one day while i putting them on my foot totally went through and stretched it out. now it's just a little ventilation :D

    Put them on while you're wet, and then go outside and rub yourself against the road/some rocks/gravel/ a basement floor.
    Then make someone film it, and post the clip here.

    :D

    Seriously though, it works.

    One thing is waring it down with all the ways listed, but then shrinking it a little, it will show curves and stuff a little bit more.

    The sand thing would work - some jeans get sandblasted and it makes them really soft

    another little thing is cutting the seam at the bottom of your jeans off, and running them through the was a few times, at first when you cut it it'll look all straight and lame lookin but give it a good wash or two and they'll be all tattered at the bottom and worn down lookin

    Work & hike & live in them...sleep in them and use them as napkins. Throw them on the floor & kick 'em around and draw on them. Climb shit in 'em and work on your house & car in them, dig dirt & shovel snow, move some rocks or stab 'em with needles to sew...wear them with no shoes on the beach, collect shells and sand & find peace on the jetty. Move some furniture...fix a window, paint a car or a room or walk up on the roof & go aloof...dig a well or just sit on the couch...in the jeans...the jeans are the means...
