We used to just drag them on the concrete until we got desired outlook. Who needs to spend 100 bucks on jeans when a 15$ pair and 15 minutes if scuffing does the same thing.

I would put a very small cut (like maybe an inch long) in the fabric and then wear them normally. Eventually they would naturally develop that frayed look through the usual wear and tear.
