Although I’m definitely on the “fade your own” side, I’m yet to see a pair that’s worn to the same washed out fade as industrially faded pairs are and still holding. So, I believe, if you want that washed out look, pre-distressed might be the only option.

Nice pairing from Studio D’Artisan. I think it’s always fun to see how two different styles from the same brand work in a wardrobe rotation. I love my pre-faded/washed/rinsed selvedge denim from any number of brands, especially Orslow. However, the raw/un-sanforized/loom-state pairs I have of varying weights, I just love seeing them take on character as I wear them.

Interesting as always, Tom. How is the rise on these? For something imitating a 50's pair of jeans, you might expect a mid if not high rise.

Thanks Dave! The 50s rise is a mid rise which I really like, it definitely adds to the comfort as well as the overall look.
