I was born in 1966..Jeans are my second skin..I've been through all brands TOP Levi's... In the beginning, DIESEL jeans were also unbeatable in terms of quality..(after that expensive scrap) I just bought myself a second pair of Nudie Jeans and I'm just COMPLETELY thrilled..it doesn't get BETTER..I've been wearing my Steady Eddie (Ace Selvage) for a year and a half (not every day, so I'll give them time) I will wash them in the sea water of Mallorca (without detergent, of course, only sea water and hope that this will not cause fish to die
Be sure to *NOT* wash a white shirt (or light colored clothing) right after washing your dry denim jeans for the first and second time. They will come out blue otherwise!! Using public washing machines for this is nog very kind to the next client/person that comes right after you washed your jeans... Something to keep in mind.
I just bought a new pair of Nudie raw denim, from a guy and I want to give them a wash. Should I do it or just wear them? I really don't know where they have been sitting plus I always wash my second hand items, no matter if they are new or not. I think to soak them in a cool water with a bit of Ariel or Persil and that's it. Hope I won't ruin them. Let me know what you think!!! Cheers.
If they are new, don’t try to wash them. Just wear them für 4-6 months an after get, give them a wash. But if you feel uncomfortable to wear them, without washing it first, then give them a soft wash in the tub
Regarding the detergent, I heard from some recommendations that just use salt as the detergent for dry denim. How would you say about it? Good or bad idea?
Lisa Sharp you end up with fading created by folding and creases within the washing machine along with a overall loss of colour. Bad washing, combined with early washing can really ruin a pair of raw denim jeans
AWMI has been kind enough to hop in and explain for you. Also, leaving them in the washing machine after a the cycle has finished can result in what is know as the "snakeskin effect" which is effectively creasing in the denim that creates lighter lines when dry.
Great question! But Max is right, it doesn't really make a difference to your overall wash process other than one small detail. You jeans will generally dry quicker inside out as the pocket lining tends to take longest to dry.
The sun can fade any clothing, but especially natural dye like the indigo that is used for denim. If you have no other place but in the sun to dry them, make sure the jeans are turned inside out. I dry my jeans out of the sun, inside out first so the the pocket bags and seams fully dry. Then I turn them outside out, and finish drying if there is anything still a little damp. In Winter, I dry the same way, but hang them up in the warmest room of the house.
SlateBlue no this pair is not dry it already has a wash dry means that after dyeing it was no longer washed in the factory because the denim fabric is very stable, it gets your personal fading through the 6 month registration
"The question has plagued the denim world since the dawn of yarn" - will try and get this sentence into conversation today, its amazing
Let us know how you go ;)

great video! Love the Swedish scenery in the end :D
40 degrees or cold wash? Quite a big difference!
We used to keep them in the freezer in Cleveland

Completely wrong
What’s the song playing at 6:20? Thanks!
i wonder if bryce alton's grim tim red selvage has been washed yet? would love to see the end result of that. best worn in pair ever!!
We'll ask him.
I love SWEDEN and i love Nudie,20 pairs in my collection and they re made in Italy
And after the first wash, when does a second wash come? Or is there no effect to further washing after that?
Repeat this same washing process at very least for the first 2 washes. After that, the "bad wash effects" we allude to become less of an issue.
Varför vänder ni de ut och in?
8:41 for the summary

Subroser Victor Thanx! I didn’t wash them in the end, wear them and they are alright. Washing in the spring :)
Boyan Georgiev nice choice buddy. Enjoy your pair of denim!
itching for you
Hiiiii FROM MEXICO Y LOVE PRODUCTS JEANS ETC.
Is it okay to use wool shampoos?
Regarding the detergent, I heard from some recommendations that just use salt as the detergent for dry denim. How would you say about it? Good or bad idea?
And ad some pepper as well.
so if I wear my jeans 2 or 3 times a year I should wash after a year and a half?
Alex Phillips if you want nice fades.....no
2-3 time a year ????
I think you Got too many of them
2 or 3 times a week that was meant to say
Lukas Schindler I wish! 🤣👍🏼
What are the 'bad wash effects' ? I'm guessing bleaching, shrinking or no real wear marks showing up?

After ventilate your jeans in fresh air for 1 - 2 weeks your jeans is "clean". Best way to wash you denim ;-)
Steam & veniger helps a lot too
Nooo not against viruses etc
@@1x1HealthyEnergybyAndrew Stay asleep, stupid idiot :-D
Viruses are a hoax
When I air dry them, should they still be inside out, like when I washed them, or should they be like they would be when I wear them?
I don't think it's matters. But I always dry mine as I would wear them.
Great question! But Max is right, it doesn't really make a difference to your overall wash process other than one small detail. You jeans will generally dry quicker inside out as the pocket lining tends to take longest to dry.
Would you recommend washing a jeans (non-dry) before wearing (hygiene)?
no
Do I dry the, in the sun or hang in bathroom
The sun can fade any clothing, but especially natural dye like the indigo that is used for denim. If you have no other place but in the sun to dry them, make sure the jeans are turned inside out.

And how to wash stretched prewashed jeans?
40 Degrees C is 104F. Is that really considered a cold wash?
"so much for being a f****ng engineer."
He actually said 40c degrees OR cold wash. The text on screen used the equals = symbol which is wrong for what his meaning was.
what a lifestyle
No matter how hard i wear my jeans.. I never get fades like in the video's
To be fair those jeans had been in rotation for 4 years!
Really? you should wait 6 months to wash your jeans for the first time, if you wear them every day?
SlateBlue if it is a dry one
Yeah
@@lukasschindler9500 what kind is the Brezzy Britt worn Stone jeans?
Absolutely, especially if you are looking for great fades.
@@nudiejeans so that model is dry?
SlateBlue no this pair is not dry it already has a wash
dry means that after dyeing it was no longer washed in the factory because the denim fabric is very stable, it gets your personal fading through the 6 month registration
A before and after would have been sick
Still waiting for the bathtub video
still waiting also lol
Thickest, most lasting fabric made to last. And they get babied in the wash. Talk about upside down world.
This guy low key looks like Luka Doncic 🤨
Can you just provide bullet-points as to what the tips are - this is way to long i can't watch this
Hi Rachel, we have a 1min version of the film on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter channels. Hope this helps.
Raw denim might not be for you if you can’t wait 10 minutes lol
