Fade of the Day – Oni 02527ZR Type III Jacket (7 Months, 5 Washes, 2 Soaks)

It’s time to celebrate the fades up top: this time on on Hershey, PA’s Grant Powers and his 20 oz. Oni Type III denim jacket for today’s Fade of the Day. In just seven short months Grant’s worn a ton of life into his jacket, taking it along everywhere, from fishing for small-mouth bass on the Susquehanna River to slinging burgers for his students.

The jacket clearly hasn’t been babied, as plenty of fades are on display throughout, particularly at all seams and at the back. The honeycombs at the elbow and stacking near the wrist look great, particularly for just seven months of wear. Perhaps best of all is the record of wear on the inside of the jacket; you can tell that this is a much-beloved piece.

You can find Grant on Instagram and Reddit via @GTPowers.
