Description

Without a doubt a favorite of ours - the almighty Lean Dean in a crispy dry black comfort stretch selvedge denim. Weighing in at 12.75 oz. the denim is nicely coupled with Dean's slim fit. The starch in the denim gives it its crispy hand and, most importantly, generates pronounced creases on the jeans when worn - allowing for some contrasting moustaches and honeycombs. The denim itself is woven on old school shuttle looms with yarns that have been yarn dyed. The shuttle looms interlace the yarns into the selvedge denim and the yarn dying keeps the core of the yarns white allowing the weave to fade beautifully - a slow process that reflects how denim was made back in the day. The finished denim has a clear twill structure which is nicely balanced by a slight slub character which with wear and washing will get more pronounced in a perfectly imperfect way.

As with all our dry denim we recommend at least 6 months of daily wear before the first wash to achieve contrasting fades. This is of course just a recommendation.

Japanese selv jeans are the best

Great pants. Those Lean Dean Dry Black Selvage along with Lean Dean Everblack are my holy grail for black jeans. IMPORTANT: Beware of sizing up. They shrink like crazy after washing (it took me 2 washes to fully shrink them), around 1.5 size down. I normally wear W28-W29 in other Nudies, but here I needed to go up to W30 and they are still on the slimmer side. Other than the sizing calibration they are great.

Top quality denim, great fit

I recommend size up on this new batch. Initially, I have ordered 33x30 (the size I normally wear on Lean Dean) and it was too small, waist and lengtht so I went with 34x32 which fit me perfectly.

Buy at least one size up. Didn't put them in the dryer but they don't fit after one wash.

All good. The inner label wasn’t sewn straight.

The fabric is light, it shrinks hugely and the end result is a super skinny too tight pair of jeans for 200€. Truly disappointing onsidering I have been wearing this fit in non-selvage finishes for years. I regret the purchase
