Wash 'em over and over again in hot water...but they'll probably shrink as well as fade! LOL
...back in the acid washed 80's we bought them already faded as well...didn't know that was making a comeback! ;o)

Only way I can think of is washing your pants a lot and letting it dry out by hanging it out in the sun.

I found a couple of ideas...one is to use fine-grain sandpaper on areas you want to look faded. Another, from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, says to use a small cheese grater on specific areas. Still another place says to hang them in the sun for several days as the sun breaks down the fibers in the denim, allowing them to fade. My advice...go buy them already faded. This seems like a lot of trouble to go through! LOL ;o)

Instead of walking, crawl around on your stomach for a week or too. It's bound to do the trick :)

How about putting some bleach or peroxide in a spray bottle and giving the pants a few light mists, then leaving out in the sun? This method works for hair so I figure it oughta work on pants as well..
Konador's method also give you the added bonus of bloodied knees and calloused palms as well.

bleach and sun will work but don't put pure bleach on your jeans...it will eat a hole in them. best to dilute the bleach with water and spray it evenly over the fabric.

Is it just me, or...but I hate these faded jeans (almost always on women) that have that faded worn look along the backside that look as if they have been scooting around on their ass all day? Makes you wonder. I think it looks stupid. Mine use to get faded the good old fashioned way, doing good ol' manual labor out in the sun all day. I guess that would be too much to ask.
me and some of my landscaping buddies use to sell ours to this jeans shop that wanted the worn and faded jeans though. hahahaha. People and fashion! It kills me!! (C:
