those nudies are SICK good job!
thanks! it is a little bit more subtle in real life, but they definitely look like a totally different jean.

Honestly I love dry denim and I always have a pair laying around now. They're my ultimate "beater" jeans because you literally don't have to give a crap about them at all. Stains, mud, scratches, who cares? This is a far cry from me freaking out over every little stain on some of my more detailed washed jeans.

As far as I know, Nudie jeans are made in Sweden. They do use Italian and Japanese cotton (dry and veggie)

yeah, I said screw it and just pay up instead of buying them on ebay or some shop in Europe. I originally wanted FGs but 33s were too small for me so I exhanged them for RRDS.

I swear, I hate kitchener. They never have any decent sizes available. Astrid emailed me on two seperate occasions saying he was going to get more Nudie sizes available. One drop at the end of January and one in February
