MasterCard Break In Your Jeans, Executed Summer 2009 
Levi’s 501s, $69
137 trips to the Laundromat to give them that broken-in feel, $156
Jeans that are lived in? Priceless.

Concept:
The look is often imitated but never duplicated. You can’t sandblast jeans into feeling like they followed your favorite band for a summer. And no matter how many holes you put in them, store bought jeans will never remind you of your move from LA to Brooklyn.
Companies go to extreme and expensive lengths to make jeans look and feel distressed, but in actuality the feel of lived-in jeans can never be reproduced.
So what to do with your Levi’s 501s that you just brought home from the store? How can you make them look and feel like your favorite pair? Use your MasterCard and you can win a pair of Levi’s jeans and an experience to help you break them in.
