The only American-made brand to make it to the top of the podium, Brave Star are returning as competition partners in Year Four. A magnet for faders who see selvedge denim as a lifestyle, they boast an impressive stable of world-class faders who regularly challenge for podium spots.

With a nearly unmatched combination of value and performance, their heavy pairs remain one of the best choices for those who want to push their pairs to the absolute limit without maxing their credit.

Based on early registrations, their Mojave cut is going to be an extremely popular choice this year. Available in a wide range of weights, this cowboy cut will be an excellent choice for faders who want to look great all year and finish strong.

We’re proud to welcome Brave Star back into this community, and we give a hearty welcome to the Brave Star fans who’ve come here to test their mettle against the world’s best.

One of Thailand’s best-known makers of heavy-duty denim for fade enthusiasts, Piger Works has been making hardcore garments for hardcore faders since 2010. Each year, the Thai faders show us why Piger Works is so adored in Southeast Asia, and, in Year Four, we saw more faders in the West putting Piger’s pairs to the test.

For the first time, Indigo Invitational will be collaborating with a brand to produce a very special OFFICIAL pair that we’re endorsing for Y5 faders. The pair promises to be something very special, and we hope that we’ll see an army of Piger Works x II faders standing on the starting line when Y5 starts.

We’re very pleased to welcome Piger Works as a returning partner for Year Five. If you haven’t done so already, we encourage you to add either our collaboration pair or one of their incredible other pairs to your collection.
