Fade Friday – Pure Blue Japan Unknown Model (10 Years, 5 Washes, 2 Soaks)

True love never dies, it just fades like a pair of Pure Blue Japan jeans, which if you are into raw denim, like Sean in Australia is, you’ll know is a very, very good thing. Bought on his honeymoon from the legendary Soho establishment Blue in Green, Sean has been as faithful to a pair of jeans as humanly possible.

Having regularly worn these jeans day to day before they got too gnarly for the office, Sean’s PBJs were eventually assigned to weekend detail before recently putting in their 2 weeks following the latest crotch blowout. But boy, what a ride. All the fades are friends, here, from muddy lap lines and well-blended knee crease to barbered wire honeycombs. But behind the flashy fades lie some truly killer unsung details; like the watery shin level creases, ridiculous crotch situation, peeling back right pocket, and of course, that lazy cuff that seems permanently creased into position.
