Fade of the Day – Unbranded UB401 (1.5 Years, 6 Washes)

Unbranded, but certainly not unfaded. This pair of Unbranded UB401 belongs to Heddels reader Dominic Paoletti, from Michigan, who has put them through the wringer over the past 18 months to achieve some dirty fades for this edition of Fade Of The Day.

Dominic spends a lot of time working on motorcycles and trucks, so these jeans have taken a royal battering over the past year and a half.  The frontside of the jeans took some heavy damage in an accident with some battery acid, and they’ve since racked up enough blowouts to warrant Dominic buying himself a sewing machine—that way he can patch ’em up pronto. Damage aside, they’ve picked up some nice fades along the way. The lap has lost a good portion of dye with some whiskers making their way through and we’ve got some sick honeycombs to boot.
