It’s Fade Friday time! This pair of Aye Denim sent to us by Khairul Annas in Indonesia are in a good place. They’re thoroughly broken in, but not so far haven’t needed too much TLC. Although a crotch repair may be in the not-so-distant future.

Some prominent, longer-than-average whiskers on the hips, intricate combs on the back knee ditch, and above-average fades on the seat show Khairul’s passion for this pair (and that he also likes to sit).

We have to hand it to Khairul for creating an obviously well-lived-in pair of faded denim in only a year and seven months. With lots of indigo left in them, these have many months to go before retirement. Bravo!
