To be honest, STF Levi's are damn near impossible to fade. If they do, the contrast is pretty tough too see, with that though, I have seen a couple pairsthat have a decent fade and contrast. If you're gonna stick with them, don't soak them, wear them frequently and starch em when they get soft.
I would recommend getting skater jeans. Look at www.ccs.com or www.activerideshop.com since brand doesn't matter. get super slim. I'd recommendsizing up one though. My brother wears them and they're really tight true to size.
I had a Sector 9. I would recommend getting a FlexDex. My little brother has one and it's really smooth. Get some Abec11 Gumball wheels and you're set.Here's a look at my childhood scar haha.
