thats not true. i have seen a lot of amazingly faded, high contrast APCs. i should take a picture of mine. im sure you'd be suprised.

yeah, or if you starch them a lot the starch will kill the body odor smell and theyll smell hard of starch.

Im singaporean too. They sell APC's in singapore if im not mistaken. The only problem Ive heard about APC's is that they stretch alot

adsurgo · : 02-17-2006, 01:20 AM

all jeans are gonna stretch after many months of hard wear.

Nudies are swedish denim right? Is swedish denim quality up to par with japanese denim. What makes Swedish denim so special?

I just took my RRDS to the dry cleaners cuz I fell down in the huge snowstorm we just had, right into a huge pile of dog shit. So my nudies were covered in excrement. Time to dry clean! LOL

I'm about 5'10'' - 5'11''. They run really small, but you should be fine, they stretch out rather fast. post pics once you get them

artvscommerce · : 02-25-2006, 09:53 PM

has anyone tried to manipulate the fading at all? I noticed on my levi's there are a few creases where the whiskering would show up that are already producing really nice fading and I started to think it wouldn't be very hard to crease the fabric in spots that are already being slightly wrinkled to create more high contrast fades. I'll post some pics to show what i'm refering to. Also curious if anyone has any pictures of some raw true religions that have been washed.

pikachu^jeans · : 02-25-2006, 10:42 PM

I bought a pair of levis before getting nudies. I tried using sandpaper and starch. My suggestion is dont use sandpaper. It looks very unnatural. But starch is okay

i like those levis...what model are those and where'd you get them?

jetsetter · : 02-26-2006, 10:33 PM

whats the potential fading on a rigid pair like as compared to a raw pair? i have a few rigid jeans but im wondering if its worth trying to break them in or if i should just go for Nudie.

artvscommerce · : 02-27-2006, 02:40 AM

These were labled rigid on the tag, however they are dry/unwashed. Skinner is name of the cut. I found them at marshall fields and the levi's store. I also found them here..

This is what I was refering to in my earlier post about the creases. It really shows a lot of contrast up close.
