New Nudie Sven: veggie vintage selvage

Quote:

why are these $1000?

(I don't mean that as a disparaging remark, I just would genuinely like to find out a bit about them and why Nudie is charging this price)

I would say that these are more likely a collectors piece than anything else.

Why would Nudie charge that much? As someone else has already mentioned previously, distressing, selvage, vegetable dye, possibly very limited production. I wouldn't say hype plays a factor just yet since these are really the only 2 pairs I've heard of as of right now. If you look at it from the perspective of a collector who is looking for rare or collectible denim (and not as someone who just wants to wear the jean) then perhaps the price doesn't seem so insane given the rarity of the product. To me it comes down to the same argument concerning any collectible item, to give another example would you pay $1000 for a pair of Nikes/Adidas?

Holy buttfuck dude, those are waaaaayyy to expensive for how they look. The difference is with paying $1000 for some Nikes/Adidas/whatever is that alot of people may recognize it and say "holy shit you have the Nike x Supreme x Bape Rifts!!!," whereas NO ONE would ever recognize or appreciate $1000 veggie-dyed Nudies.....not that I would spend $1000 on shoes either way, but you see what I mean? It is not like they are going to last longer or even look better than a regular pair of Nudies.....

i would agree that the few people that would have $1000 to spend on jeans would opt for the high end 45rpm lines, or even those junya watanabe designed levis. Nudie is getting itself in too deep with this denim craze. and that bubble is about to burst.

[vinz]

Are they going to release these next year as the regular standard for the Sven at regular prices? (like what they did with the Svenska)

Yes I own a pair of Svenska's

seeing those jeans remembered me of something,

a while back like 4/5 months ago i was in the hague and there i saw these nudie jeans retailing for 280 euros. i wasnt so informed about nudie at the time so i cant rembember what model it was. the denim had a green blue ish colour and was kind of stiff. i liked them alot at the time and was wondering if anyone knows which one im talking about.

edit: they were unwashed

many thanks

You've pretty much described the Regular Ralf Veggie Indigo. Price sounds about right for Europe too.

I love the Ralph and the Straight Sven cut and fit, plus the veggie indigo is cool. But I don't like the fades and distressing, I would get a dry pair. Otherwise, nice Jeans!

[TragicBliss]

Those are poo poo. I wouldn't even pay a hundred bucks for those.

[tomenugen]

actually, those nudies look more like diesel art# 796. the one above is more 82h. 796's were THE SHIT.

[adsurgo]

nah they dont look anything like 796

[viv1984viv]

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH A PAIR OF SELVEDGE NUDIES WOULD COST ME IN THE UK???

IM PREPARED TO PAY A HUNDRED ODD, BUT NOT HUNDREDS.....

did anyone get these, and how are they developing?

I am just asking because I am interested in the concept of vegetable dye.... which I presume is different from Natural Indigo (?) But no one ever mentions veggie dye (?)

[cultizm]

in germany around 300 euros or 369 usd.

thnx

I always thought that the purpose of the vegetable dyed denim is the actual color contrast that comes with the vegetable dye. Having it predistressed seems like it defeats the purpose, cause its all soaked away.
