dry black is owning me.

[shagnscoob]

ive had these dry black slim jims for probably about a month or so now, and ive worn them SO much. there was a weekend when i wore them from wednesday night to tuesday night STRAIGHT, only taking them off the shower (i even slept in em). i did a ridiculous amount of walking, carrying stuff, etc etc... i even starched them so much that they were wet after drying for 12 hours!

but they show basically no wear whatsoever. if i ironed them i could sell them as new.

what the hell? how can i break these babies in?

[xcoldricex]

keep wearing them. you've only worn them for ONE MONTH.

[drapygo]

hahaha, my SugarCane's 47 have like no wear even though I wear everyday and everything in them. It's been somewhat about a month for me also.

[Dogfarm]

one month is not much wear.

I have some Lees I am working on right now I have worn every day since Aug 25. 06. They show almost no wear, some wiskering around the crotch and knees which is very light, and the honeycomb may have a tiny amount of fade to it but it might me an optical illusion.

Short answer: One month of straight wear is almost nothing.

Besides you don't want them to break in fast. A fast break in does not give you the depth and quality of shades and colours that long breaks-ins typically get. A long break in will give you a good sense of accomplishment.

anybody else enjoy sleeping in jeans as much as i do?

[so-so]

maybe chilling out about it will help.

The whole "ohshitwhenaretheygonnaturnawesome" stage is something to be expected, but just stop worrying about them and before you know it they'll be pretty well faded in.

Also, don't know about other people, but my APC's kinda faded in a short time span, first 4-5 months, not much. Then the last 2 months they've gone crazy and i've had to repair a whole, have like, 3 new ones forming, and all fading coming along pretty nicely.

Yeah, pretty much always sleep in my jeans. But maybe I'm some sort of freak.

i'm pretty sure i'm going to be sterile cos of that...

[Lars]

Anybody else feel that sleeping in their jeans won't make a difference?

[ikidomari]

me.

I don't own a single pair of shorts besides the ones I use for tennis.

I sleep in jeans literally every day. I only take em off for the shower and for a quick rinse every now and then. Despite all of this, I don't use my raw pairs often enough or tight enough to warrant any crazy wear.

probably sounds odd from someone living in hawaii, huh.

[Dick Danger]

odd is not the word I'd use

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

I don't see how you guys do it. I'm kind of a a germaphobe when it comes to the bed. I won't in my bed if I've sweated or gone outside since the last time I showered. Its my germ-free sanctuary. I get fucking pissed when friends come over and just lay on my shit. I change the sheets as soon as they leave.

[xcoldricex]

cosign. that shit is grimey.

[shagnscoob]

well im not worried about em. what kinds of things do you guys do to really get that shit messed up? i know a lot of people skate...

[tweeds]

skate, construction, take long rambles in the green pastures of middle earth...

[Dogfarm]

I say just live in them, don't do anything you would not normally do, at the same time don't refrain from doing things becuase you are worried about your jeans.

The "truer" you wear your jeans the more honest the wear on them is, they become reflection fo your life and personality beutiful patinated mirrors of your true self.

PS. I don't do anything special in my jeans just wear them they way I usually would, sometimes I do constructions in them, sometimes ride bike.

[jkyr]

yea dry blacks are one of the harder nudie washes to break it.. well hang in there and good luck!

[startmeup]

who else is on the black pbj circuit?

[poly800rock]

does anyone have any pics of well broken in black nudies? the ones i've seen are pretty lackluster

[shagnscoob]

i think the slim jims in the fit guide on the nudie website look amazing...

[kiya]

we just got those Black Black Slim Jims at Self Edge and they fit super nice, probably the nicest fitting Nudie's i've tried on so far.. black is the new black.

Co-sign on the fit, and on the "black is the new black."

I have worn the hell out of my SJDB and they show very little signs of wear, although they have molded to my legs really nicely (that's molded as in fit, not as in fungus)

I don't mind at all; I like my jeans strong and black, just like I like my...

coffee.

[llooped]

I've been wearing my black black slim jim's for about 2 months now and I have to agree - the fit is really great! They're pretty indestructable too - no signs of fading whatsoever.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

give up already, they're never going to fade.

hey does anyone know if there is a difference in terms of proportions of slimjims in 28x32 or 28x34? like is the rise/thigh or where it slims different in the different inseams or is the 34 length the same proportionas the 32 but it just has 2 inches tacked on at the bottom

[Double D]

Everyone complains about STF, but mine are absolutely refusing to fade. Three months, nearly 10 gigs and one torrential rainstorm yesterday and I've finally got some light whiskers and thigh creases.
