Monday got you down? How about a Fade of the Day to lift your indigo-dyed soul? Today’s is a pair of Momotaro 0305-Cs was sent in by Kiehl Del Rosario in Sydney. Let’s head down under to analyze this heckuva-faded pair.

Kiehl’s pair receives daily wear, at both the office and home, and after about a year, the fading patterns are starting to come into view. The most apparent are the nearly horizontal ‘grill mark’ whiskers fairly evenly placed from the knee up to the waist band.

The pair has also experienced about a year of tear as Kiehl’s had to repair two crotch blow outs in this time. Just imagine how these will look at the four-year mark!
