Looks like we’ve struck gold with today’s Fade of the Day, a pair of The Strike Gold 1109 jeans! Sorry, we had to.

This pair comes to us from Heddels reader Matthew Rice in Canada who says he wore them casually for just over 2 years. During that time he hasn’t needed to repair them either, which is commendable. Of course, they’re showing some holes and tears here and there, but what pair of jeans wouldn’t after 2 years of wear and various washes?

The honeycombs here are tight and defined, the concealed rivets are busting through, the whiskers are subtle but nice, and that frayed red tab!
