Nudie Regular Ralf Selvedge 1 (18 months)




This is my first pair of Nudies. I got them quite cheap "on sale", but they were probably two sizes too big. I thought I could shrink them down in the dryer, it kind of worked, but smaller jeans would've been much better.






The extra washing, and putting the jeans in the dryer wasn't a serious problem for the jeans. They came out quite well, but after reading some guff about a "transformation wash" by putting them in hotter water - I gave it a go.
Unfortunately they weren't worn out enough, and the wash simply faded the jeans all over. (Note: Don't believe in the transformation wash. Stick to the cold hand wash with vegetable soap... and wait till they're really broken before you wash them.)






They're still okay, but need a lot more wear for the amount of fade. Please learn from my mistakes.
