    Wear them and don't worry. I think the best fades come when people just wear their jeans and don't worry about them too much. I put a hole in my jeans a week after I got them and I was upset at...

    Im not really sure about the source of the denim. The Wranglers are made in the US and the tag say North Carolina on it so I assume they must be Cone Mills denim but I can't say for sure.

    If you don't want to see the fades get something that has a dark weft (backside) and you should be pretty good to go with regards to staying dark. Club Monaco was selling a pretty nice pair made in...

    I vote NO also. You will want them to look dirty and have some visible fading before you should wash them. If you wash them too early you might not get the good contrast that so many covet.
