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.

Kaihara – 13.75 oz Japanese Selvage Denim

This one's our heritage, the 13.75 oz. Kaihara selvedge that has been with us since 2001. A fabric with the potential to become the greatest looking pair of jeans you ever put on. The fabric is tightly woven and has a right-hand construction with slubby yarns. It has an orange selvedge id line, a feature made exclusively for us. We recommend 6 months of hard, every day, wear before the first wash, if not longer. This way you will end up with a beautiful pair of worn-in jeans. It sure is a long time, however, it's only a recommendation. As long as you give them love, the result will be great

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