Exactly. The fit on these can't be beat. I enjoy high contrast fades, but personally find them unatural looking. I guess I just don't care enough. To my eye, these look good.

Don't misunderstand me, I think they look great. The fading was just more uniform and the wear and tear minimal compared to what I am used to from the population here.

I for one hate high contrast fades that stay electric blue for months and years. Most indigo nudies look like garbage to me until about 5 minutes before the crotch blows out.

I personally find it nice to see a lighter color of denim. Contrast is nice, but when you see in on EVERY pair of SF and sufu jeans, it's nice to see something of a different shade of blue. Rock on, boss.

True. And make sure the list includes "Be a dick to people who have a slightly different aesthetic than your own;" that's really an important point.

I've had both pairs for about 3 years, washed a few times between them.

Take 5 x Momotaro's

Been wearing these quite a bit the last few months, but not too much happening with them yet, they have yet to see a wash beyond the initial hot soak.

these still have a ton of indigo left in them and I shouldn't be thinking of getting a new pair but I'm starting to have some serious jean envy


don't stop yet. my boys skulls look beautiful, he's been doing his off/on with his SJDJs and F301s for a couple years now though
