Only six months in and already worthy of a Fade of the Day? That’s the power of slim fitting, heavyweight jeans! Today we are looking at a nice pair of Unbranded UB421, worn by Nate Soyu, which check off both of those qualities on their list of fade-helping features.

The UB421 is Unbranded’s tightest fitting jean, slim throughout with a heavy taper from the knee down. Nate tells us that he wears these jeans to work as a waiter and the fit was very tight around the knees at first, which helped contribute to such awesome fades and honeycombs developed in that region. There are a few thick whiskers forming in the upper block, and this heavyweight denim is starting to show some great character in the seat and back pockets. Just imagine what another six months will do for them!
