      Nice Bagley…sometimes you just have to enjoy that brutal heat in the 21oz

      Maybe it's just me but they seem to fade faster when I'm sweating in them

      That would make sense.

      Sweat is on the inside, why would they fade faster on the outside, especially on my butt

      You are wearing cotton. Cotton absorbs moisture. Moisture and abrasion cause fading. Make sense?

        I mean, the denim bleeds a lot more when it is damp.  And, I am sure it generally gets damp the whole way through.

        Unfortunately, they will start to stink a lot quicker when you do this!

          I guess I don't really notice my butt getting sweaty haha

                            That is quite impressive.  Lovely contrast.

                                    I really appreciate it.. 😘

                                    I've been wearing them since they were released in 12th of october 2011, to enter the SExIHxINDO16

                                    and yes, I've walked around with them a lot actually, I took the bus a lot to get home from my university, and taking the bus here in jakarta will get you sweaty as hell.. Which kinda explains the contrast lap fades..

                                      The honeycombs are really really well formed, just perfect fading structure and pattern

                                      We would love to see them here updated  for another long time!!!!

                                        Damn. Those are really nice, especially the combs.  I really love the contrast.

                                        And very well taken photos as well.
