What dry denim fades the fastest?

I'm interested in trying some dry denim, but in all honesty, I'll probably only wear them like 3 times a week as I have a bunch of Diesels that I really like and I don't want to wear the same jeans every single day.  I know that you're "supposed to" wear them everyday to get the best result the fastest, but I was just wondering if anyone could recommend some dry denim that fades relatively fast compared to other brands.  I've liked the looks of APCs after they've been worn for awhile, but on my limited reading, they seem to take a really long time, even when worn everyday.  Plain pockets are generally preferred, but I would consider otherwise.

Haha, yes, of course I realize that.  I'm just wondering if I could get a pair that I could get nice fades and wear in after, say, one year instead of 2 if I'm only wearing them a couple times a week.

Have you got a pair of Diesel Turbo Denim's yet? I just got a pair of Tepphar 8y9's and they are supposed to go from raw to vintage a lot faster than regular jeans. They claim it takes only 30 days.  I've had mine for about three weeks and have really liked them so far. However, in the pics I've seen, I don't like the fade as much as regular raw jeans like the Nudie's or APC's.

If you don't like Diesel's turbo denim, I've heard that APC's fade a little faster than some of the other brands. As for me, I'm in it for the longer run with my next pair so I'm considering Nudies or Ande Whall's. Hope that helps a little.

Ooops, sorry dude. Just saw your profile and status updates of your Tepphars... Looks like you were way ahead of me. They look good on you though.

apc new standards fade and age pretty quickly. if you look at superfuture, you'll see more aged, beat up, very faded new standards than other brands.

 

nudies as well. both nudies and APC brands fade/age very nicely.

 

some of the very pricey japanese brands take longer to fade, most likely because its been dyed more times, or because of the kind of indigo they use possibly.

APC fades the quickest... the cotton used isnt dipped in indigo dye long enough to retain pigment... so with a couple of washes, colors get washed out real quick...
