Levi's Japan "Skeleton Hands" Jeans

I wonder why it is that the jeans produced by Levi's Japan is always so much more interesting than what is produced by Levi's in the US and Europe.

J Crew Painted Selvedge Jean

Following on from yesterday's post about APC's "Butler Worn Jeans" here is another example of distressed jeans this time from J Crew. These "Painted Selvedge Jeans" have been "hand splattered" with paint to give them that "just finished painting the spare room" look that you have desperate to achieve. Now if J Crew were as smart as APC instead of spending hours making these jeans they would have just given them to some painters and decorators to wear before selling to achieve the same look.
