Fade Friday – Uniqlo Slim Straight Kaihara (3 Years 5 Months, Unknown Washes)

People like Earl Manzano in Kuwait have realized that it is not the amount of money you put into a pair of jeans that make them special—It’s the amount of time and love. Can I get a minute? Just made myself tear up. For the last 3.5 years, Earl has worn his Uniqlo Kaihara fabric jeans, washing them around infinity times in the process. And for all of my board-certified fadiologists out there, you’ll recognize that’s a recipe for fades!

And with October and its month-long holiday known as Halloween approaching, it is fitting we have some Demogorgon looking wear to get us ready for spooky season. From the 20+ crotch repairs (yes, 20. That’s not a typo) to its slim profile, I would not want to be alone with these in a dark alley. Luckily, their airbrushed bright blue hues throughout keep things light and airy against the gnarly tears and shimmering fades that pepper the jean. Uniqlo, get this man a new pair.
