Nudie - Steady Eddie 2016

10 years
1,000-1,200 wears
15-20 washes
*2 towards the end with a tiny bit of bleach for fading
*most washes after the first 100 wears
4 continents traveled
3 crotch blowout repairs
4 new pockets
2 self stitched knee holes
1 hem repair
1 new belt loop
2 patched holes in the thigh

I guess that's the secret to a pair of perfectly (in my opinion) faded and distressed pair of jeans!

Such a sick feeling knowing every hole, crease, fade, whisker, honeycomb, and rip is a lesson, a memory, an activity, or a challenge I overcame in the last decade. Same jeans I wore the night I first got laid, I wear today as I get ready for my wedding! Took a lot of work, but man did I have some fun along the way (life, that is). The jeans were easy - just took awhile to show their true stripes.

Imagine paying money for some child laborer in Vietnam to sandblast your jeans to attempt to mimic all of that....couldn't be me lol

Purchased the Nudie dry selvedge Tuff Tonys in 28inx30in, but I’m not sure if the waist should be sized down. Overall, I really like the drape/fit, but there’s quite a bit of room in the waist itself. I’m normally a 28, but recently due to more consistent time in the gym I’ve needed to upsize to 29 in a few brands, so I’m a little hesitant to downsize and lose the baggier fit in the seat (it’s already a bit of a struggle to get my hands in the pockets). This is my first pair of raw selvedge jeans, so I also don’t know how much stretch to expect as I wear them. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!

Going to throw these on Vinted but thought I’d post here just in case.

Picked these up last March at the La Brea store. Wore them for 1 month and unfortunately decided the fit was not for me.

- Worn 31x

- warm tub washed at 31 wears so they are clean. (was trying to shrink waist- didn’t really work)

- leg openings have been tailored to be slightly wider. A tailor can easily undo it for 20-30$ tops.

PM me if interested. Looking for $100 but open to offers.

Edit: Sold.

Been wearing those since they first arrived a day after release almost daily (5-6 days a week). See some barely noticeable fades for yourselves. Size W33 L36 (that’s why there’s some stacking fades near the foot)

Don’t plan on washing those until October lol.

Is it time to wash

Hello! These are brand new, just tags removed, i decided they are a bit too small for me too late i will be happy to pass them to someone for a good price. I can ship cheap and secure around eu.

There’s no way that this is a legit pair. Randomly came across it while browsing the net

Is playing football with those jeans would speed up the dye remove?
