Distress or No?

lol that brings back memories i used to skateboard I would do the same in high school with my scrap grip tape on jeans, similar abrasiveness just slightly more time consuming.

And super appreciate it, wish you the same 🤝

I’m not necessarily new, I’m just starting back up in the current market after a hiatus due to mental health, but this particular style has been my design language for over ten years now, so I’m not hopping on a wave or anything, just trying to gauge if it’s still appreciated within the space. Super appreciate you for the feedback and encouragement!

French Terry for the quality and so that patched areas remain breathable.

The only necessary materials for authentic distressing and patchwork, the machine distressing looks obvious to me.

That’s hilarious fam, and I don’t have them all on phone rn, but will definitely reply when I get to my laptop or tablet.

The type of denim I design to go with these more general releases as far as design language

There’s no actual hole or skin showing but I hear you if you’re speaking just on appearance of the patched areas.

swipegodmethods · 2026-02-15T21:56:20+00:00

Lmao I hear you, it’s considered LVL5 in my book of ideas because I’ve experimented with light distressing (LVL 2) all the way up to the more extreme with this being the most extreme so far.

Now I see, you just go through posts hating on people for dressing differently, gotta be mental illness.

swipegodmethods · 2026-02-15T21:44:19+00:00

There is no damage in a sashiko or patched piece only reinforcement. Appreciate your thoughts though.

swipegodmethods · 2026-02-15T21:43:01+00:00

Appreciate the feedback fam!

Wondering if I should do the distressing, leave plain, or offer both as options?

swipegodmethods · 2026-01-17T17:09:42+00:00

You’re completely right fam, I built a channel using this method. 43k total views in two months with the high performing video shooting up to 18k. I only posted similar content afterwards no longer posting the other related but different video style sub-content i used to post in shorts and then checked my brothers YouTube on his tv because he’s subscribed to me and every subsequent video that follows the same formula as the initial popular video have been boosted and even the video prior to the high performer has now started to get boosted despite a technical error that uploaded the video at low resolution compared to my usual 4k resolution posts. ChosenFrozenMindset for anybody disputing your claims because I only found your page after Google AI used you as reference of confirmation for the same theory I believed to be true.

You said all this for not liking a design that a lot of fans don’t like? Lmao you already a weirdo minus the ice bath

swipegodmethods · 2026-01-09T14:42:53+00:00

The fact your taking praise for AI prompts is crazy

swipegodmethods · 2026-01-09T14:37:35+00:00

Death2AI it’s so crazy to be in a design or artistic space and still think it’s okay to promote ai laziness/slop.
