Fade of the Day – Studio D’Artisan SD-106 (1.5 Years, 1 Wash, 1 Soak)

One of the founding members of the Osaka 5 is here for today’s Fade of the Day, a very nice pair of Studio D’Artisan SD-106! This pair of jeans comes to us by way of Singapore’s Paul Chow.

Paul says he mostly wears these jeans to university, but he’s also taken them on vacation to Egypt, Israel, and Vietnam over the past 1.5 years. He also cycled in them every day for a while to get some nice wear in.

The cycling and traveling seems to have worked some magic, especially on those honeycombs. Still, the white fading on the whiskers is nothing to sneeze at, nor is the fraying on the belt loops. We’d love to see these again in another year.
