Fade of the Day – Diesel Turbo Koolter 8Y9 (13 Months, 5 Washes)

We’ve seen many ways to customize jeans over the years, but never have we seen Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee drawn onto some faded denim. Jim Wang of Taiwan has really made his pair of Diesel Turbo Koolter 8y9 his own over the past year, which is why they’re today’s Fade of the Day.

Patches galore, paint splatters, additional pocket, you name it – it’s there. Jim even added a cinch back from another pair of Diesel jeans. On top of all the wild additions, there is still some nice fading, with some tight honeycombs and stacking, and overall heavy dye loss.

Whats next for these jeans? We can only imagine, but we’re imagining Jackie Chan joining this denim kung fu Mount Rushmore in the near future.

You can keep up with Jim’s adventures on his blog.
