Treffa Style Blog: # Get a Grip on the Rip: 10 Colorado Springs Spots for Distressed Denim

Buying distressed jeans can be difficult because the perfect pair often has to look worn without looking completely worn out. Prices can also be torn between bargain territory and designer-denim territory. Local inventory changes quickly, so finding the right wash, fit, and amount of fraying may take some legwork. Thrift stores offer character at a lower cost, while chain retailers provide more predictable sizing and styles. With a little patience, you can stitch together a great denim deal without letting your budget unravel.
