Fade of the Day – Nudie Tight Long John (3 Years, 2 Washes)

It’s time of our Fade Of The Day, made possible by Pitchapa Lotrakul. His Nudie Jeans Tight Long Johns have lost so much indigo we thought they should gain some attention.

Pitchapa has worn this pair regularly for the last 3+ years, purposefully keeping them as dry as possible in effort to really set his fades (and smells) prior to the first wash. And boy did he. Aside from the nice indigo retention of the stacks and towards the waistband, we’d be hard pressed to say these blue jeans have much ‘blue’ left at all.

He tried to not fuss over them, and just go about his active life. An active life indeed! Not only is this pair missing nearly almost all indigo, but they’ve needed multiple repairs. All of which were done by Pitchapa and a specialist at Nudie.
