One way to make a pair of standard five-pocket raw denim jeans even cooler? Take the essences of two brands and fuse them together to create something entirely unique. That’s what we have for today’s edition of Fade Of The Day, with this pair of TFHxR.J.B. 3001FXR—a collaborative effort between The Flat Head and Real Japan Blues.

Coming to us from a Heddels reader in China, this pair is showing real signs of promise after their first year of wear. There’s no insane fading just yet, but they’ve developed bright electric-blue tones all over, especially in those poppin’ whiskers.

There is loads of indigo dye left in these beasts, but they’re already well on the way to some grail fades.
