Bumped into a vintage denim collector at a thrift store who ruined my whole idea of distressing

She said her favorite selvage jeans from the 70s got those whisker marks from years of sitting in a specific chair, not from sandpaper, and now I'm rethinking every pair I've ever cut up with scissors.

Wait, she really sat in the same chair for years just to get those fade lines? That's either dedication or a really uncomfortable habit.

Bet she blames her sofa for all her fashion choices now.

That dedication to the faded lines is like people who drive cars for ten years and refuse to trade them in because the seat is finally broken in just right. We get attached to the weirdest imperfections and turn them into personal style.
