Fade of the Day – Edwin ED-55 (1.5 Years, 2 Washes, 1 Soak)

One year plus six months, two washes, and one soak. That’s the rundown for today’s Fade of the Day, a pair of Edwin ED-55’s, sent in by Alex Eason of the UK.

This has been Alex’s every-day pair since he picked them up 18 months back, but it was the last three of which that have done the damage. Spent in the Middle East with a filming project, Alex was sitting, crawling around, and kneeling on a wide variety of surfaces and materials. All that abrasion has helped his fades along to a respectable amount of indigo loss throughout, but primarily in the seat, at the knee, and in the lap.

Some good whiskers are in the process of forming and it looks like honeycombs are soon to show.
