Story

Nudie Jeans kicked off in Gothenburg in 2001, fueled by a love for dry denim, punk music, and snus. From day one, founders Maria Erixon Levin and Joakim Levin built Nudie Jeans on strong values, with sustainability and human rights at the core. Beyond fair wages, organic cotton, and transparency, they wanted to create a community that cares. Nudie Jeans began repairing jeans as early as 2007 because each pair is meant to be “forever jeans”—the kind you repair, not replace. Today, Nudie Jeans Repair Shops are places to get your jeans fixed (for free), resold, or donated to Nudie Jeans’ recycling program—all to create vintage, not garbage.

Ace Selvage

Shinya Mills knows their stuff. With Ace selvage, they recreated this selvage by analyzing a worn-in pair of jeans from the 50s. Uneven slubby yarns were standard during the 40s and 50s due to limited yarn-spinning possibilities. It may look crude or too rustic. But over time, washing and wearing reveal a chunky and beautiful salt and pepper texture. The result is amazing — a celebration of denim's imperfect perfection.

Dry, the raw and untreated denim fabric refers to denim that remains untouched by water, thus lacking a wash – earning the name "dry."
