Are these what's known as acid- or stone-washed jeans? If not, what's the correct term?<br> <br> I realize the desireablity of broken-in jeans, and the dorkiness associated with a brand new pair.... but in my experience, they usually go white only at the knees, and the seams. This current fashion - what's with the fading on the back side? And sometimes, not the legs, but the seat - I'm especially baffled about the fashion sense of someone who'd choose to look like she's been sitting in a puddle of bleach. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.25010 Tue, 04 Oct 2005 09:19:11 -0800 blue bluejeans denim faded fashion jeans Rash
