For today’s Fade of the Day, Jamie Verhaeg of Amsterdam has hacked his pair of Denham Razor . In just one year’s time, Jamie has nearly maxed out the fading potential of his jeans.

We got honeycombs on honeycombs on honeycombs! The whiskers are dreamy. Not to mention the thighs, knees, and seat are so washed out, they may need an indigo transfusion soon. What’s the secret? He’ll tell you, “just wear them, that’s it.”

Jamie rides his bicycle a lot which I’ve found to be like making a deal with the devil. On the one hand, the repetition of movement and pressure on the bicycle seat will definitely accelerate the fading process. However, it will also increase the likelihood of a crotch blow out, of which Jamie has suffered amongst other small damage. However, this doesn’t deter him as he does all repairs himself using an old Singer 47w70.
