Fade Friday – Bravestar Selvedge Sumo 25 Oz. (1.5 Years, 2 Soaks)

Daniel in Kaiserslautern, Germany has only had his 25 oz. Bravestar Sumo jeans for 1.5 years but it’s clear their time together hasn’t been a vacation.

Having worn them 75% of the time during this time period, they have undergone no washes and two soaks. This relaxed ‘wear often, wash…never‘ routine definitely compliments Daniel’s lifestyle which includes a lot of time on his feet going from point A to point B. And when A ‘n’ B can mean spending time traveling Ireland and Croatia, you better believe your jeans are going to garner some serious wear along the way.

Proclaimed as the “best-fitting jeans he’s ever had” we aren’t that shocked considering the amount of fading going on. The mixture of shadowy and grainy fabric makes for a powerful textural backdrop to display piercing white, lightning-style fades that seem to flash on the surface. Especially with those honeycombs ’round the back which look straight-up glow in the dark.

Having undergone some self-administered pocket and crotch repairs, we’re sure these jeans will only get better with time as they continue their role as Daniel’s travel partner.
