Fade of the Day – Unbranded UB121 (5 Months, 0 Washes)

For those of you itching to cop your first pair of raw jeans but are balking at the break-in period, take note of this five-month-old Fade of the Day.

Sent in by Jeremias Refaldy of Jakarta, Indonesia, he’s worn these Unbranded UB121s daily to and from college, while hanging at the mall and playing plenty of soccer, which no doubt speed up the fade process. Also of help, even in a small way, are the “countless rainsoaks” they’ve endured during wear. Plenty of indigo is still there to be worn away, yet it’s starting to leach out and fades are forming in a way you’d normally be surprised to see at this stage.
