What is the color fading of jeans? The charm of Made in Japan denim as it ages

What is "fading" of jeans?

One of the charms of jeans is their color fading. When new, they are dark blue (rigid), but with wear, washing, and everyday movement, the color gradually fades and a unique look emerges. This is called aging .
The way the color fades will vary depending on the wearer's lifestyle and body type, resulting in a pair of jeans that is one of a kind.

Why do jeans fade?

Denim, the fabric used to make jeans, is made using a "rope dyeing" method, in which only the surface of the thread is dyed with indigo dye.
Therefore, the surface dye comes off with friction or washing, revealing the white core thread.
This is what creates the distinctive faded look that is unique to jeans.

Types and characteristics of color fading

The color fading will vary depending on how you wear them, your body type, and your lifestyle. Let's take a look at some of the most common types.

Beard (front thigh line)

Horizontal wrinkles at the base of the thighs appear naturally when walking or sitting.

Honeycomb (wrinkles behind the knees)

A beehive-like pattern appears on the back of the knee. This is especially noticeable in slim jeans. Beehive is called a beehive in English.

Atari (seams and pockets)

Discoloration appears where fabrics overlap and at pocket openings. The color fades with frequency of use and friction.
