Fade Friday – IH666S-21 (11 Months, 1 Wash)

Amin in Malaysia is making everyone look bad with his Iron Heart 666S fades which most certainly involved some black magic. Like we are convinced a deal with the devil had to be involved. Chosen as his submission for the Indigo Invitational Y3, these jeans have only been worn for 11 months. That’s right, under 1 year and they’re looking like our most epic multi-year pairs. What gives?!

Keeping his routine pretty simple, our guy wore these jeans at work which involves riding a bike, evidently a lot. Taking full advantage of this fade incubator  – not to mention the climate of Southeast Asia, Armin successfully coaxed years worth of indigo loss out with just one wash. With strong crease lines throughout and truly dramatic contrasts in tone, it’s bittersweet because we want him to keep breaking in these 21 oz monsters but they are also pretty perfect as they sit.
