You’ve got some raw denim, possible heavily faded, now what do you hold it up with? A well-worn belt, that’s what. Today’s Fade of the Day comes to us from a brand we don’t usually cover, but the patina is legit nonetheless.

This American Eagle leather belt was worn by Benjamin Webster of Denton, Texas, for more than 10 years and it shows. Benjamin has worn this belt on many job sites, first in healthcare construction, then HVAC repair, and finally in the craft beer industry. He’s even repaired the belt, after the buckle attachment broke while he was building a local craft beer bar which he currently manages. Sadly, after more than a decade of service, this belt has been laid to rest, but we think it probably paid its dues.
