this is a great example of one of the drawbacks for many with vintage stuff. So many of us want a classic broken-in look. The sort of look that comes from years of wear and in many minds a classic "nostalgic" idea of hard work or tough living that shows in the character of clothing..............except today, we don't want to wait for it and, probably most of us don't live those sorts of lives. There's a thread on VLJ about high-end denim (which I love) but I commented on how not worth it, it is for me to try to get that look I want in all those great old photos of awesome old jeans. It takes a few years of wearing them and who wants to wait that long or go through that much trouble hoping that they (or jacket for that matter) will look the way you want it. I mean, it's just clothing and it's cool but life's too short and who wants to obsess about clothes that much (outside of clothing makers)? I guess way-ish off topic.
Buy a pair of Sugarcane or Warehouse jeans, wear them, and they will eventually look like a pair of incredible vintage jeans.
