A very popular style in denim is the whiskered pants legs or on raw selvage denim where the creases and folds will fade creating the “look” known as whiskering. Also known as ‘Cat’s Whiskers’.

These are the crease lines around the crotch or knee area. Industrially these can be done with laser, sandblasting, machine sanding, handsanding and abrasive rods. Same techniques are used for ‘knee whiskers’ (whiskers on the sides of knees) and ‘honeycombs’ (crease marks on the back of the knee).

Here is an example of whiskering around the crotch area of the jeans:
