April 18, 2022

Thank you to everyone who posted on Instagram.

It was honestly difficult to choose a winner as everyone's fades were unique and excellent, but we carefully selected the champion after much deliberation.

We also have luxurious prizes ready, so please look forward to the announcement.

This time, we focused on jeans, but we might do jackets sometime, so if you don't own one, please try to fade a jacket.

You'll often get compliments when you wear it.

Here's how the JP94406 55 Denim Jacket 406XX fades.

I've been wearing it for about a year.

This 55 Denim Jacket fades faster than any other denim jacket I've worn.

The unique, irregular vertical fades are created by slub yarn.

Since it's not pre-shrunk, the fabric has a vintage look with skewing along the twill.

Because it's sewn with cotton thread, the threads have also started to fade a little.

Even on the arms, you can see distinct honeycomb fades, which are hard to imagine from the initial softness of the fabric.

The use of high-quality weft threads (extra-long staple cotton) gives it softness, but the high thread count results in these high-contrast fades.

And here's the back style.

My personal favorites are the puckering on the back yoke and armholes.

The bumpy texture creates a nice atmosphere.

The adjusters are gradually fading, but what I'm really looking forward to is the rust on the buttons.

Since they're iron buttons, they'll also change over time.

When I take pictures myself, I often get lost in the self-satisfaction of meticulously examining the details, which sometimes slows down the photoshoot. But that's also part of the fun of "raising" denim. So, if you don't have a jacket yet, please check it out.
