Here are some pic's of my RR's at just over a year and two washes. The exposure is slightly off but you get the point. Enjoy. . .

And a before shot. . .

[sayocean]

[connor]

rip in my SJDJ's @ about a month and a half dropping them off at SE tomorrow to be repaired

[Rick Stirling]

My new Average Joes Dry Heavy

Worn for about 1 day.

[connor]

dropped my SJDJs off at SE today, Kiya said if they had ripped anymore they'd be near irrepairable :X

[JeorJ]

whoa, the lightness after the wash is really extreme. Did you use a really hot heat or a lighter heat. Also, I like the subtle fading and the rips at the feat openings.

[connor]

pretty sure his before shot is the jeans new, not just pre-wash

dang... after like a month.... are they really tight or something??

[connor]

they were pretty tight when i got them, i sized down 3 from my normal size. this is them when i FIRST got them all the way buttoned and stuff after some wear around the house first

so yeah, they were pretty tight. they have relaxed a good bit since then, no recent pictures though... i think i just put the initial stress on them then and it kind of worked in from that time. he's stitching it up for me

[dralfonzo]

pretty shit that they would rip so quick. nudies have always blown the crotch early but a month?!

[Mr HaGa]

^That's not really that exceptional for a slim jim. I've heard of them ripping in 2 weeks.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah, but sizing down 3...what do you expect?!

an egg cracked on my grim tims how should i clean it , its on the right

[heflys]

There's nothing wrong with their quality. Where's your opinion based on.

I've been thinking on this, and I suppose it depends on your perspective. I'm not sure I can condone paying $300 for a pair of selvedge Nudies (well, the ones I'm interested in), when I'm certain there are better and cheaper brands (with various fits) out there; whether it's detailing or holding indigo better. Even some of their non-selvedge pairs cost about $200.

But to each his own. Everyone has different tastes.

[blm14]

All I can say is that you can wash samurais every 2 weeks and they will still get amazing contrasty fades. Nudies pleads with their customers to wait 6 months before washing and has warning photos on their website what happens if you "wash too soon"

Nuff said

[Hulk]

Hmm... Sorry but from the 100s of pics I've seen Samurai's turn out best when washing kept to a minimum. Especially honeycombs show much better contrast when washed after a long period of time.

No doubt Samurai's hold their indigo way better but I think Nudie does a great job on dry denim! And when followed the 6 month guideline you'll get an amazing pair. Fades certainly dont do under for sam's.

[heflys]

I think he just means you can wash a pairs of Sams, and not have to worry about ruining a so called "process." I've seen Sams turn out pretty well with 3-4 washes.

You might plausibly get better detailed fades from holding off washing, but it shouldn't hurt if you decide to wash them.

[DoitsuJin]

It's really about preference. What you like and what not. I can't be bothered to explain to people why it's better to spend xxx$ amount of dollars on denim when they contend that they can purchase 2 pairs at kohl's which will probably last them for at least an year.

In short, it all depends on what you're looking for. Looking for vintage details, superior indigo and craftsmanship? Go for japanese denim. Looking for more modern cuts / wacky dyes / stronger euro branding? Go for nudies.

Its called soap. And a washing machine. Dude, you have raw egg on your jeans, that shits nasty, just wash and wear.

[Cheap_Monday]

How do you make your jeans that shiny? By washing? If I buy a pair of naked famous in the black power stretch, will they turn shiny?

these got shiny quick...

[opethrapture]

^^

They look shiny because they are coated

[aak]

at first, i loved the shine on my coated jeans, but after a while they had a similar sheen as to leather pants so I decided to wash them. they now have a faded black colour and I love it. some mad knee holes and I'll start wearing them to grunge shows

[dralfonzo]

yeah i was gona ask, I have the same black nudies, not as worn in but pretty fuckin shiny! I think they look like george micheals finest performance pants when they get really shiny but didnt know what would happen when I washed them. You got any pictures of them post wash?
