The fading of jeans isn't just a natural aging process.
They are traces unique to the wearer, born from a combination of time, habits, and choices.
The one that has been with me for many years,
Feelings that cannot be put into words are engraved as wrinkles and shades of gray.
Why not show someone the journey your jeans have taken over the years?
I suddenly noticed a pair of jeans on the street.
Have you ever had the experience of seeing a beautiful faded color that draws your attention to it?
"I wonder how long these jeans have been with me."
"How did they wear them and what kind of life did they lead?"
Even if I thought that, of course I couldn't call out to him.
However, only the "time" that these jeans have passed through speaks to us quietly.
The fading of jeans is no accident.
The wearer's habits, movements, environment, and lifestyle are gradually absorbed into the garment.
That's why even the same model will never fade the same way twice.
"I want to watch this color fade forever."
"I want to know how you got to this point."
With this in mind, we launched patina .
It is impossible for one person to experience all brands and all color fades.
However, by sharing someone's "wearing in,"
You can experience the time of jeans that you could not experience on your own.

It may change the jeans life of someone you've never met before.
The time that these jeans have traveled,
Next time, why not give it to someone else?
Jeans that have been worn for a long time have
Not only wrinkles such as beard and honeycomb,
It is imprinted with the wearer's habits, movements, environment, and time itself.
How many times they were washed, what season they were worn in, whether they were worn by bike or on foot.
Consciously and unconsciously,
It all shows up as discoloration.
Patina deals with:
It's not just a "color change"
It is a record of the journey of a single pair of jeans, recorded only by that person.
Someone raised one,
It becomes someone else's ideal and stimulates the imagination.
We would like to preserve this collection of faded colors here.
