Another quality submission from the denim fading epicenter that is Southeast Asia comes from Affendi, over in Malaysia. He’s worn these 25 oz. Iron Heart jeans for 4 years and washed them 10 times along the way. Let’s look back on the damage done, shall we?

Worn during every free second, Affendi has chiseled out a dramatically high-contrast fade profile. While the thighs are nearly bone-white, there is still a good amount of shadowy blue hues along the edges not to mention the dark shins. And yet, rustic creasing is still present all over like the striping of an indigo-dipped tiger. The seat gives us some extra eye-candy via some daily pocket fades which are also so satisfying to see.

Complete with a strong cuff, sometimes we take for granted the final result of these submissions but 20+ ounces is nothing to play with, especially in a humid part of the world. So, better leave this one to the professionals.
