How Do They Make Faded Jeans? (Factory Visit)
★ The 9 Best Selvedge Denim Brands: stridewise.com/best-selvedge-denim/
★Thanks to Hiroshi Kato for hosting, check out the only 4-way stretch selvedge on the market: kato-brand.com/?ktk=YnJHczhNLThlYzhiZjQyOTdl
★ How YOU can fade YOUR OWN Jeans: ua-cam.com/video/_hP5LAz5_A4/v-deo.html
There's no denying that faded jeans look cool and that achieving that look is often the desired end goal when guys buy raw denim. But while some guys like buying denim "raw" and fading them with lots of wear and washes, you can skip to the end and get jeans that have already BEEN faded - without a single wear. The process is actually much more interesting than you might think!

    I picked up my pair at my local dealer for $150 on clearance (5/24). That's the only reason I bought a pair. I would not pay $350. They simply are not worth it at that price. $150 was a hell of a bargain though.

    The comments here are just showcasing how people judge something before they try it. I used to be a 100% raw stiff denim head, but as I got older and had to go from being active one second to relaxing another, stretch denim really showed its worth. Kato jeans are actually really high quality and the price is great. Also my 3 year old pair’s pocket bags are still intact unlike my Iron Hearts.

    Hi Nick have you seen the new Viberg boot that just came out on pre-order last week , June 19 2024, in both the 2030 and the 2040 lasts? These are a Dark Cognac Hatch grain shell cordovan leather boots? For the past year I been receiving Viberg's newsletter and have seen a lot of their new releases over that time but nothing really grabbed my attention since my purchashing of five pair of the 2030 service boots last fall, 4 of them black, brown, natural and colour 8 cxl and the other an olive green in horsebutt leather. I just wanted to get you thoughts on these hatchgrains.
