>been wearing unbranded skinnies for a year

>if I had bought quality denim from the start I wouldn't have wasted a year on/off with sub par jeans
What do I do now?

Should I wash/soak them?

So they aren't fading. Keep the jeans and wear them as your dark non-fade jeans.

Get some jeans that fade and wear them as your fading jeans.

It's not rocket science, bro.
What kind of fades are you looking for, high contrast, or more natural looking?

I thought unbranded was good for fading :/

For real? How often do you wear them and how hard do you wear them? The dye job on unbrandeds is really shitty, I own a pair and the dye comes off on my hands also I have seen them heavily faded in 4 months.

The only time I ever heard unbranded brought up was if someone wanted selvedge to show off when cuffing but didn't want to pay very much.

I have UB 201s and I got some pretty decent fades after about 6-8 months. I wore them very frequently, like every day, because they were the only pants I owned for a long time. I think you may not wear them enough.

Pic is several months old, and I got them tailored and got less awful shoes since then since I was still learning a lot. I think they're great jeans though,

How do you not have fades man? I've worn my fucking April 77s for 3 months and I got sick fades everywhere.

Treat them like a shitty pair of pants and do everything in them.

Can't not washing your pants cause really bad skin problems?

Yo man I slept real hard on those Kanye x APC jeans does alexander wang make jeans? How well do they stack?

>> No.6624935

OP confirmed for loser who doesn't do anything. What do you do OP? Do you just wear your raws then sit at home all day? If so, you will not get any fades. I've been wearing my ub201's since december 2012 and i've been sick fades so far, been wearing them pretty much 5 or 6 days out of the week every week. I'm probably gonna gonna soak them at the end of this month.

I wore them out almost every day to uni.

Mine are UB101. Do they fade slower or something? Like weird guys fade slower than skinny/slim guys.

>> No.6624956

>>6624935

How much did they stretch out over time?

Mine fit good but feel a bit too tight in the waist

>> No.6624978

>>6624948
Also, they got really fucking soft, but they barely have any fades. I never soaked it once except maybe for some coincidental rain getting on them.

Should I soak them?

Yeah you did, I love mine and I knew people would regret not getting them.

I was kidding in that post but, I actually do regret not purchasing them because the cut is prefect for me.

They stack perfectly and they look better when they're a little baggy around the waist, I love them.

that's why you don't just buy them for fades. if you like wearing them when they're dark it's not wasted time
