Fade of the Day – Levi’s Tack Selvedge Slim Black (19 Months, 7 Washes, 1 Soak)

Today’s Fade Of The Day comes in from Fayce Anze in Chamonix, France. He sent in some pics of his black denim, something we don’t see too much in this feature, and we sure are appreciative.

Jeans with elastane in them are notorious for slow fades, however Fayce has definitely gotten that ball rolling with this pair. By the look of his fades, you’d assume that he’s both an avid bike rider and that he carries his phone in his front left pocket (likely while riding), as his crotch and cell phone fades are the most pronounced.

Heck, if I lived in France and the had the shadow of the Tour De France looming over me, I think I’d be a cyclist too—what better way to rack up those fades? Beyond that, he’s got some some fading at the cuff, but not much else as of yet due to that elastane and the dying technique employed in this pair.

It’s a challenge, but Fayce is up for it!
