The steady march of fantastic fades coming out of Southeast Asia doesn’t let up with this Fade Friday, a marbleized beauty of Iron Heart jeans. Reader Ivander Christian Sihombig didn’t go easy on his pair of 666S jeans over the past 13 months, subjecting them to bike riding, exercise, and day-to-day activities in sweltering heat.

Due to the activity he’s put these heavy beasts through, Sihombig has had to do some repairs to the crotch to fix several small holes, he says. Of particular note is the indigo loss on the back pockets, which has rendered them near white with beautiful blown-out concealed rivets. The busted arcuates, and near-white back belt loop also belie Sihombig’s active lifestyle.
