Fade Friday – Sage Ranger (14 Months, 3 Washes, 1 Soak)

Stark contrasting tones, damn near perfect honeycombs and more whiskers than your family’s house cat. It’s Fade Friday and you bet it’s another holy grail pair of Sage Rangers from their homeland in Indonesia.

Worn every day for the last 14 months by Satrio Agung with only three washes and one soak, he clearly found a good recipe for quality fades. While we don’t know what it is Satrio does on a daily basis, it looks like he isn’t afraid to put his jeans through the ringer, earning dirty fades through the thighs and seat. It’s hard to think of ways these jeans could get better, aside from even more wear.

We have yet to see a pair of Sages that have disappointed, and at this rate I don’t think that day will ever come.

You can keep up with Satrio on Instagram.
