Fade of the Day – A.P.C. New Standard (5 Years, Unknown Washes, 1 Soak)

Daryl, from North Carolina, works in a lumberyard in his A.P.C. New Standards. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, this fella works in an actual lumberyard, and he’s got actual workingman’s fades. He’s had them for five years, two months, and who knows how many washes. After all that time, they’re just his beater pair, worn exclusively for work.

With a life like this, it’s no small wonder these jeans have needed multiple repairs. Old-fashioned workin’ and livin’ in these A.P.C.s have made them a thing of wonder.

Ride on to denim glory, oh A.P.C. New Standards.
