Fade Friday – Naked & Famous Elephant 2 (8 Months, 2 Wash)

Elephant skin is tough stuff. In many parts of the large mammal’s body it can grow up to an inch in thickness to protect from lions, crocodiles, and other large predators.

It’s with this heritage in mind that Naked & Famous created their ultra-heavyweight Elephant 2 jeans. Made with 22oz. Japanese selvedge denim, this armor will stand up to the harshest dangers of the urban Serengeti.

For this week’s Fade Friday, we have  a pair of Elephant 2’s from forum user novega that have seen their fair share of action. After 8 months on the prowl, the inky dark indigo has given way to the high contrast fades normally reserved for jeans in higher price categories.
