What do you keep in each pocket to produce a cool fade?

Coins in the coin pocket (weird, I know), chap stick, snuff? Just interested in everyones' preferences.

I think putting stuff in your pocket just for fades is kind of silly. I've got a slight fade on my back right pocket from the clip on my money clip, but not much else.

Be careful with the chapstick... could be mistaken for a tampon fade.

Well I don't do any of those things personally. I'm just getting into the quality denim game. I was wondering what everyone on here has done in the past that intentionally, or unintentionally, produced a cool fade.


For the record, I was referring to the chap stick that comes in the circular can... Don't have any clue why I put 'stick' in there.

Ah, well Chap Stick is a trademarked name. The generic name is just lip balm.

Keys (house/ car) in back right pocket // Cell in back left // Money up front..

I don't find that any items per say create a unique fade, but create a more worn out look. I also don't do it for the perfect fade, but if I could fit a ti89 in my front pocket I certinly would!! ;0

A TI 92 would be even better

Fingers - the finger fade works well, but you have to keep your hands inside you pockets anytime you wear jeans. This can become a nuisance

I think this would be the most badass fade combo:
Back 1: wallet
Back 2: Cope
Front left: keys
Front right: folding knife
Coin pocket: Zippo

+1 With that being said, my jeans are normally too tight for me to fit anything other than a wallet or cellphone in my back pockets. Oh, and a key clip or wallet chain.
