If you know anything about denim, you'll know that raw denim is pure denim that is not washed after it is dyed during production. It doesn't matter if there's stitching on the ass or not. Right away you can tell it's raw when you feel it. If the pocket stitching wasn't there and you touched 3 different pairs of raws, would you be able to tell which one is branded?
And what do you mean by "quality fades?" Any pair of raw denim will fade with wear over time. And theoretically, any pair of raw denim will "last longer" because of the lower amount of washes its been through.

There are differences that you can both see and feel when it comes to raw denim.
Where did the cotton come from? Cone mills in the US, Japanese denim or Italian? Whats the weight of the cotton?
What kind of dye is used? Is is organic or synthetic? Dipped how many times? Hand dipped or machine dipped? Black coated?
What kind of hardware is used? Heavy duty hardware? Color of hardware? Some even use pure gold or exotic materials for rivets. Is there a leather patch? What's the quality of the patch?
Subtle details like selvage coin pocket, double stitched back pocket for reinforcement, hidden rivets, and others.
So sometimes you pay more for the details but any raw denim is better than True Religion and others like it.
