Retsy Series 1 · Card 0270 · 80-FSH
Looks like lightning hit it. On purpose.
Splotchy acid-wash jeans with marbled white streaks, often worn with a matching jacket for total denim.
The story · 1987
Bleach Storm jeans looked like they had survived a science experiment, which was exactly the appeal. The more white streaks, the cooler they were. Wearing the full set, jacket and jeans together, was called going stormy, and it took real confidence. They were stiff as cardboard until the fortieth wash.
Pegging the ankles, a tight fold and roll at the hem, was mandatory or the jeans did not count.

Bleach Storm Denim comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
