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.

ok then tell me why so many people would rather buy denim like APCs and Naked and Famous rather than unbranded denim? everything about raw denim is about the quality
Naked and Famous and APCs are well-known because of their quality... they've established a reputation for jeans that give top-notch quality where you can pretty much expect jeans that give great fades and effects....
To a certain extent, most raw selvedge denim look the same, so the key element that sets them apart is their quality.. if you haven't noticed... brands like cheap monday don't fade for shit (i doubt there would be much difference in how much cheap monday and apc/n&f puts into their advertising) no matter how long you wear them for and yet they claim their jeans to be raw selvedge denim.....
in the end, yes if you look hard enough, you'll end up with a few gems here and there, but is it really worth it to throw away your money blindly for trial and error ending up with say 7 jeans 3 that are actually good quality, when you can buy 1 pair from the more well-established brands (ex. APC/n&f there are more but i will use them in this case) and for the most part, fully trust them to give you a pair of quality jeans?
