Thrift store in Portland gave me a cheap trick for distressing denim

I was at this Goodwill off Burnside last weekend digging through the jeans rack. Saw this beat up pair of Levi's with some wild natural fading that must've taken years to get. Instead of buying them, I grabbed a cheap pair of dark wash jeans for $6 and a pumice stone from the housewares aisle for $2. Rubbed the stone along the seams and pockets for like 10 minutes and it gave me that same worn look without the guesswork or sandpaper. Anyone else try thrift store finds to test out fabric treatments before ruining new material?

jenny said "it's serious" but I read a blog that said thrift store stones mimic vintage wear perfectly.

It's just jeans, not that serious.

Nah, denim is serious business.
