JELADO
S407XX × S301XX
I gave both pieces a break over the summer because I didn’t want the fades between the jacket and jeans to get too far apart.
But this isn’t the full comeback yet.
I’ll wear them when the weather allows and start fading them together again once autumn really arrives.

Day 180｜JELADO S301XX（Gold Tag）
The fades are slowly but surely coming along.
This time, I had them hemmed.
Since I ride motorcycles often, I adjusted the length to work well both cuffed and uncuffed.
I can’t wait to see how they’ll evolve from here.

Second wash done.
And honestly…
this changed everything.
The whiskers,
the honeycombs,
the hidden contrast —
finally starting to come alive.
Maybe raw denim
doesn’t die when you wash it.
Maybe that’s when it truly begins.

Still unwashed.
Yet,
the fades are coming through.
Whiskers and honeycombs
are starting to take shape.
Honestly,
I didn’t expect this much at Day 100.
Planning to hold off until Golden Week.

First wash.
Spilled coffee forced it.
But it didn’t kill the fades.
Actually —
it brought them out.
Placket, sleeves, back.
Everything started to show.
So…
Does washing really ruin raw denim?

Day 60｜JELADO S407XX
Second wash: not yet.
Subtle fades are finally starting to show —
along the placket, pocket edges, and sleeves.
Nothing dramatic.
But definitely progressing.
This early stage might be my favorite.
“Patience builds character.”

Day one vs 2 months.
Not dramatic yet.
But the fabric is starting to remember my movements.
Whiskers forming.
Early honeycombs.
Subtle wear under the pockets.
No rush.
No forced fades.
I like this deep indigo stage too.

Today was 17°C (62°F).
No outerwear—just a denim jacket.
Swapped the boots for Converse.
Only the cap changed.
A slight tilt, a different balance.
Same core.
Japanese denim, American workwear roots.

Snowy morning, 0°C (32°F).
No bike today, so I took public transport to my usual spot.
B-3 would be too heavy and bulky—N-2B felt just right for moving around.
Same routine, same place, different weather.
This is how I live in denim.

I've welcomed my partner for 2026.
JELADO's Last Resort, the gold-tagged war model.
Honestly, I'm more excited about how it will develop from here than its "finished form."
I plan to wear it almost every day until Golden Week.
No holding back. If you see me, I'll likely be rocking this outfit.

Japan’s Kanji of the Year is “Bear.”
In Japan, it reflects a year marked by repeated bear-related incidents.
Meanwhile, in Taiwan, the same character has been used symbolically to represent resilience and the will not to yield to external pressure.
What happens to Taiwan concerns Japan as well.

JELADO 301EXX - 1.5 years of fades 📘

SUGAR CANE SC41947
I wore them for 70 days and 1,044 hours. Since it was a sweaty season, I washed them three times.
This model has a relaxed fit around the thighs, so it might be harder for whiskers to form in the front. However, the honeycomb fades on the back seem to be coming out nicely.

It has been 5 months since I purchased these jeans in February. I've worn them 59 times, rotating them with other pairs, for a total of 924 hours of wear.
Since it's the last week of July, I did a second wash.
I was surprised that the color hadn't faded as much as I expected.

The DENIME 224 jeans, were worn 52 times over five months, totaling 808 hours. Recently, they underwent their second wash. Special care was taken during winter by wearing tights to protect the fabric, and as the seasons change, so will the care strategy, reflecting the evolving fade patterns.

The 1947 model WAREHOUSE "DSB" 1001XX jeans use denim from an old-style power loom G3, mimicking the vintage fade and blending ruggedness with a sleek silhouette. I fell for their charm instantly, opting for a longer hem to suit boots and roll-ups. Eagerly anticipating the aging journey.

Hi there, fellow denim enthusiasts!
IMA here, a Tokyo-based corporate worker with a deep passion for all things Americana. My particular obsession? Jeans, of course!
I currently own a small but well-loved collection of denim, but two pairs stand out as my absolute favorites.
