I did everything from yoga to yardwork to 16 hour drives in my jeans and they are like a second skin. I should also mention that it's not uncomfortable to sit on my wallet in these jeans. They have worn thin where the wallet is and are thick around the wallet, forming a cushion. I've washed them maybe twice since I got them.

Am I misunderstanding you that you only washed them only twice after you have boughten them (and did yardwork and 16 hr drives in them ?!) and you still wore them dirty ? I guessing that I'm taking you too literal on this tip
As with the pre-faded/ripped clothing, I'd rather just buy them second-hand and without the rips/fades/etc. in there and wear them out so the rips/fades naturally come out.
Finally, what do you think about the fad of wearing the 'generic athletic center since 1898' shirts (trying to ressemble old P.E. shirts from the 50's) that are sold in places like old navy and american eagle ?
I personally like them, but I'd rather make custom ones that have my elementary high school's info on them.
