Fade of the Day – Lee Japan 101B Co (7 Years, 8 Months, 3 Washes)

After nearly eight years of heavy wear, Sweden’s Bobo Fransen is the proud owner of some truly faded out Lee Japan 101B Co jeans. Surprisingly, the jeans have only been washed three times in that time period with almost no soaks recorded.

Designed to replicate waist overalls circa 1930, these jeans show some general wear and tear but have yet to require repairs despite the several dye loss. Though there isn’t much to see for honeycombs; the tight whiskers and heavy lap fades highlight the utilitarian nature of Bobo’s jeans. Simply put, these are a classic pair of workwear inspired jeans that have been put to the test.
