We’ve got some heavy duty Iron Hearts that happened to best the rest this week as our pick for Fade Friday. Sent in by Belgium’s Wim Behaeghe, he’s had his 634S’s for four and a half years now and they look pretty special.

Aside from all the heavy fades exposing the vertical falling of the denim and plenty of character-providing damage here and there, our favorite thing about these jeans is just how non-symmetrical they are in the fades. Most fades that come through have some variance between the legs, of course, but it’s usually minor and pales in comparison to other details.

Further making this an even more special pair, Wim wore these during the birth of his child. Never throw these out Wim – that’s the ultimate hand-me-down!
