Fullcount is here in all its Osaka Five glory, blessing us with another edition of Fade of the Day. This pair of Fullcount 1110z’s come to us courtesy of Michael Chiu, from the Philippines, who’s been wearing them daily for one year now.

Michael tells us his Fullcounts have seen him through the daily grind during that year, including regular office and field work. The denim is still nice and dark, but that leaves the patina of the faded areas to stand out in all their glory. The seat has seen considerable dye loss—the back-pocket arcs are even starting to wear down along with the denim—and some solid whiskers have begun carving themselves into the lap.

The star of the show, however, is the crispy honeycomb creases behind the knees, and we can’t forget the hems, as they’ve earned some serious roping as well! And with no repairs recorded yet, the only way is up for Michael’s Fullcounts.
