Common sense question

I know people like wearing their raw jeans slim and tight. At the same time they want to have nice whiskerings and fading after 6 months of wear.

From my point of view it makes sense that a looser raw jeans will make better honeycombs and whiskerings because of the bigger folds in the fabric.

So what is your opinions on this conclusion?

looser jeans have honeycombs that look more like honeycombs, tight jeans generally have straight fades at the back of the knee.

lap fades differ from denim to denim, but it's hard not to get good ones if you don't wash often.

this has been discussed.

Yep looser jeans will give you that wear pattern you typically see on 1940s/50s levis. The honeycombs usually happen below your knee (kinda weird huh?) and are very spread out. With tight jeans the honeycombs usually happen RIGHT behind your knee since the jeans dont have much room to move.

The lap whiskering (in my opinion) looks much better on high rise jeans because you can get some very 'artistic' looking fades rather than just horizontal lines due to the stress on the fabric from tight, low rise jeans.

So bottom line is-

Any jeans will give you good fades as long as you wear them enough. The problem is, most people are expecting fades like they see on 1900s miner jeans after only wearing them for 6 months. Not to mention those 6 months are spent sitting behind a computer talking on superfuture!!! :)
