Description

Jeans made from a beautiful Japanese dry selvedge comfort stretch denim that is made by the legendary Kaihara Mills in Japan. The fabric has a redcast and an open construction that will render clear blue hues with wear. It has an orange selvedge id line, a feature made exclusively for us. We recommend 6 months of hard, every day, wear before the first wash, if not longer. This way you will end up with a beautiful pair of worn-in jeans. It sure is a long time, however, it's only a recommendation. As long as you give them love, the result will be great.

I’ve been wearing them for years. High quality selvage. Great fit. I get lots of compliments.

The 28in leg is perfect for me. So many companies selling high end selvedge denim jeans offer one leg length and a turn up service. This completely destroys the designed cut of the jeans when the leg is tapered. Thank god for nudie, looking after us short guys. 😂

Amazing Jeans from Nudie. I can't wait to wear them in. This is a second pair now of Nudie Lean Dean - Japan Selvage Jeans. Normally just bought Lean Dean now these are the ones for me. There's no going back worth the money. Thank you.

I’ve worn these for years now -it my third pair. I don’t wash them for about 18 months and only wash in water inside out on a delicate cycle. They are crisp and look great new and fade beautifully.

Absolute quality! Gonna take a while to get them worn in properly, but now hitting the comfortable zone after a few weeks wear. Incredibly well made, great cut. Cracking Jeans.

I love these jeans. Selvage is great, but any Nudie Jeans are. Selvage, just nicer. I always love the fit and definitely do with these. They get better as they are more worn. I have the first pair of Nudie Jeans I bought in Norway about 10 years ago and still love them. You will not go wrong with any of their jeans! Worth every penny!

Love the jeans and qaulity. I found the waist to be larger than I expected for a 32. It's too late for me to return as I've worn them, but good to know for next time to size down on the waist. Beautiful denim and build quality
