Photo K-uiz

A photo K-uiz this time, so all open questions again:

1. Most, if not all, of my Levi’s jeans (as I have no other) suffer a certain abberation, a defect over time, on the exact same spot (the edge of the right front pocket). Big K-uestions, how and why ?

2. What in heaven’s name is this ? (Hint: I only used two filters to throw you off, nothing more)
