With the $30 pair, no, because the indigo used will run like crazy, and it won't look very good.
The Levi Vintage Collection, or better yet, a pair of Sugar Cane 501's will wear like that. That's actually the inspiration for Nudies and just about every other brand that makes dry jeans (APC, JR, etc.): a very well worn pair of 1947 era Levi 501's.
Oh, and for women, besides Denimbird, I'd suggest getting a pair of Earnest Sewns, they're available in Dry Selvedge in just about every cut (I'm personally breaking in a pair of men's Fulton one-rinse selvedges). |

These are my rigid skinners after 6 weeks. I don't plan to wash them untill around june. Very anxious to see how they fade. Does anyone know how much I should expect the waist to shrink? |

zoo village is the best for variety and prices. Thats where I got my RR and SJD from for a fraction of the price they are selling them at fos5. Kitchener is too, but they lack decent sizes at times and lack of a decent collection |

True luxury is about understatement, not ostentation.

Great looking Levis man!! Are they just as good as nudies, denim wise? Maybe I can purchase a pair of skinners to start my first jean fading project. I love naturally faded jeans, they have real character in them, not the rigid machine faded with no character. Give me some suggestions guys, something other than nudies that may not put a damper on my finances. Also, do I have to wear these every day to get them faded faster? because I have many other jeans I like to wear also? |

basically, you are paying for the quality of indigo when you go for the raw jeans. there are tons of brands offering raw denim nowadays, including diesel. if you want nudies they are available at a fair prices online, its been discussed here before so run a search for it.
