Fade of the Day – Naked & Famous Elephant 5 Weird Guy (2.5 Years, 2 Washes, 3 Soaks)

Heavyweight denim worn nearly a year between washes? While we don’t personally endorse the process, we can definitely get behind the end results. These Naked & Famous Elephant 5 jeans are a shoe-in for today’s Fade of the Day.

We don’t know much about this “mystery fades” pair, but we do know its country of origin. These Elephant 5s hail from a reader in Thailand. Heavy denim and high humidity may mean heavy fades, but these conditions aren’t exactly comfortable. Perhaps the owner, “Oak Prasert Kickass”, is a bit of a masochist, but when it comes to your passions, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
