Even the jeans in this instructable are like dress jeans. Try wearing work jeans and go and do some yard work or something.

Regardless of the tastes of others, as noted by rimar2000, this is a simple, convenient, and certainly cheaper way to get the basic look of –usually rather pricey– pre-ripped jeans. Nice!
