#FASTFADESCOMP
Fast Fades has been open for almost four weeks, and many of you have already entered. Thank you to everyone who has dug out their oldest pairs. Don't forget that you can enter up to 3 jeans/jackets.
A NEW SPONSOR, AND MORE PRIZES
We are very happy to welcome INDIGOFADES as a sponsor of Fast Fades, alongside Denimio, Hiut Denim Co. and Superunknown.
INDIGOFADES and The Blue Serge Company are both run by Anjasmara, from Indonesia, who is a denimhead here too: @anjaaasmr. If you have any questions about the brands or the prizes, get in touch with Anjasmara directly on DENIMHEAD.
With INDIGOFADES on board, the top two prizes just got a lot heavier:
1st: a $500 Denimio voucher plus a pair of 21/23oz DEADWOOD jeans from The Blue Serge Company.
2nd: a £245 Hiut Denim voucher plus a Blue Serge Company Type 1 WW2 jacket, made with Indigofades and Mihane.
3rd: a Superunknown veg tan belt and cardholder.
YOU CAN ENTER UP TO THREE
A quick reminder that you can enter up to 3 jeans or jackets. If you have more than one well-worn piece, enter your best three. Each one is judged on its own.
To be eligible, a piece needs at least 12 months of your own wear from raw, five photos on the item, and one verification photo with #FASTFADESCOMP handwritten on a card beside it. Haven't logged it yet? Add it to your wardrobe, enter when you started wearing it, which days you wore it and roughly how many wears, and DENIMHEAD fills the history in for you.
Entries close on 31 December 2026. Find it under the COMPETITIONS tab on the feed.
YOU ASKED, WE BUILT IT
Two features this month came straight from your messages, and we want to say thank you to the people who sent them.
Outfits and #OOTD, thanks to @mylordchanel. A fit is rarely one brand, so you can now build an OUTFIT from several items in your wardrobe, whatever the brand and whatever the type: jeans, shirt, jacket, boots, accessories, all together. Add your own outfit photos, then share it to the feed as an #ootd post with every item listed on the card. Tap the + on the feed and choose Create an outfit / #ootd post, or open the OUTFITS pill in your wardrobe.
Editable washes and soaks, thanks to @tastefulegent. Logged a wash on the wrong day, or picked the wrong type? Open WASH & SOAK HISTORY and tap the pencil on any entry to correct it. And if you soak a pair before washing it, you can now record both steps while counting it as one wash: when you log the soak, switch off Add this soak to your total soaks. The soak stays in the history, and only the wash counts.
HELP SHAPE DENIMHEAD
As you can see, when you tell us what you need, we build it. If there's something you'd like to see, large or small, or something that isn't working the way it should, let us know.
