@Lowlander - outstanding fades you’ve got going there!
-
Fade goals!!!! These your main pair @Lowlander or you rotate often?
-
Cheers, @hoppy_IPA! I do have to admit that the sunlight makes the fades look more dramatic than perhaps they really are.
I do like to rotate a bit @RoxRocks86, but during the winter these are my main pair. This is my second winter in them. I wear them about 2/3rds of the time I'd say.

@Lowlander you sure got some great fades going on. Keep on wearing.

More fit pics. Still wearing them quite a bit.
I'm really happy you are! Yours are such an epic pair. Esp. those combs!

I think I’m around 200 days in and noticed an odd wear that I really don’t know how it formed. Anyone else get wear like this or know the cause?
-
Maybe cause it never been soak or wash…

I did the initial soak when I first got them and then did another soak after a fire extinguisher went off on them. They are about ready for another wash/soak.

Yes indeed. I have had something like that develop on a few pairs.
Your hole is sat on a crease and I suspect it has worn on the crotch seam.
Very plausible. Thanks @neph93. Interestingly enough I swapped my desk to a standing one a couple months back. Could had been interesting to see how the development changed with that modification. Oh well. I'll keep an eye on it so I don't get too much extra cooling.

@kiecker I have had one of my pairs with a similar hole fixed, others not. You should get something done at some point as one day it will rip but that is a slow process. Like you say, keep an eye on it abs when the opportunity or need arises get it done.
As for fades and how they happen, I tend to think that jeans represent where you were and what you did at that time. It is a fun thought. Your next pair will likely be different because your habits and activities have changed.
I just phoenixed a pair of UHR that I lived in when I ripped my PCL. They bare fades from the brace I had to wear at the time. Kinda funny.

Interesting point Reuben. My jeans for the last 13 or so years have always displayed a very distinctive back right rear pocket fade, caused by my OG IHG-035, the jeans that I have been wearing since March, do not have that fade.
I don't currently use a wallet, because I go nowhere that it is useful to be carrying one….

We should avoid calling them your COVID jeans because that is just depressing but it is pretty cool that a simple pair of jeans have been obviously and uniquely affected by a major historical event.

I figured out the cause after flipping them inside out before washing.
