After

I’m not sure if photographers have the best jeans or it just seems that way because they take the best photos of their jeans. Either way, this pair of The Flat Head 1001s from photographer and reader Bhisma Diandra are truly something to behold.

Worn for over four years in the Indonesian heat, Bhimsa’s Flat Heads have achieved grail levels of fading: super contrasty combs, multiple home repairs, and rusty iron buttons. We have a serious contender for Fade of the Year here. I mean, check out the wear on the center of the yoke!
