Fade of the Day – Naked & Famous Okayama Spirit (2 Years, 3 Soaks)

Good fades aren’t just about high contrast indigo loss, but rather the story they tell from their owner’s lifestyle. Will Yee of San Francisco has worn this pair of Naked & Famous Okayama Spirit jeans (and no others) for two years, and his irregular fades come from an unlikely source: a stick shift. He says this has caused the left leg fade to be off center since he was always reaching for the clutch. That’s not to mention the time Yee says he put in at the office, hiking, and walking up lots of stairs with these slubby jeans.
