Pre-Dirtied Jeans
Nordstrom is now selling pre-dirtied jeans for $425. And here I've been washing my jeans all these years! It reminds me of that guy back in the 90s who sold shotgun-blasted jeans, though his prices were more reasonable.I wonder if the dirt washes off.
For slightly cheaper ($395) you can get what looks like paint-stained jeans.

In the 1970s, it was widely believed that any product could be improved by adding denim to it. One example of this, already featured on WU, was the AMC Gremlin "Levi" Edition — an economy car upholstered with Levi jeans. It debuted in the early 70s.Another example is the Zenith "Sidekick" Blue Jean TV, which hit the market in 1974. From the ad copy:

Shotgun Fashion
Back in 1993, Ed Kirko gave up his job as an engineering assistant and became a fashion designer. His fashion idea was that, for a fee, he would blast your clothes with a shotgun. He came up with the idea after seeing an episode of 60 Minutes about ripped jeans selling for $90 and thought he could do that — but better! He offered a "Honeymoon Special," which was a bra, panties, and boxer shorts riddled with bullet holes.

Double-Top Jeans
It's the new fashion creation from singer Rihanna. I guess the idea is that it creates a layered look for pants. Only $150 at River Island, though they seem to be sold out at the moment.
