Heddels reader, Rick, might be wearing an “Easy Guy ” fit from Naked & Famous, but his 15 oz. fades were clearly hard-earned.

For the past 14 months, these jeans have been Rick’s second skin, having worn them nearly 24/7. From working at a machine shop and going on adventures with his son to the top-tier fading activity — sleeping — here is a dude who can actually say he does it all in his jeans.

After all that, if your only question was somehow “what happens when it gets too hot”, Rick has an answer. He has gone where few denim heads have gone before, actually blurring the line between pants and shorts. In other words, he just rolled his jeans into jorts so he could keep the fade train going all summer long.

And clearly, this dedication paid way off because in addition to the well-fought whiskers and majestic glowing knees wear, our guy has pulled off the infinity pool of honeycombs scaling all the way down to his cuffs as well as erratic behind the thigh lightning creases also known as the 8th and 9th wonders of the denim world.
