Lawless Denim has certainly lived up to their name over the last year or so, all of which came to head back in June when the brand owner was found to be violating Arizona’s Consumer Fraud Act. All of their BS aside, we aren’t here today to point fingers or talk smack, but to celebrate the one good thing that can still come to the handful of people that actually received their orders from the brand: some quality fades.

Submitted to us by Elijah Santos of Vermont, this pair of Lawless Denim Custom Slim Straights have been worn steadily for just under two years of manual labor at a local feed mill. Even having seen a total of eight washes, the fades are still high in contrast and well-defined, with only a couple of inevitable repairs-to-be. While we don’t stand behind the company, we can still say a well done to Elijah for giving these jeans hell.
