Fade Friday – Nobrandedon TJA501XX Hachiko (11 Months, 1 Wash)

Well, well, well, what have we here? The kind of jean that will make you do a double take, that’s what. We save the best of the week for the very end, so let’s dive into our Fade Friday with this pair of Nobrandedon TJA501XX Hachiko.

These ‘NBDN’ 19 oz. jeans were sent in by Indonesia’s Eka Agus Pratama and are certainly special. We cannot recall a pair of jeans where the whiskers in the lap were so conjoined that they became honeycombs, yet here we are, staring it down. When pairs start to fade in such an extreme way, anything’s possible.

This pair has lost a heap of indigo, especially considering it’s only been 11 months, but it’s the slivers of deep indigo that create such striking contrast and make the fades stand out. Really exceptional pair here, Eka!
