Pics of Your Dry/Raw Denim Progress

bootcut ola dry.

apparently if you wear them tight and get a lot of friction, or drag them around on the floor, they will rip.

I cuff them!!

oh, so you cuff them and it rub against concrete/asphalt when you walk Any pair of jeans would rip in that case.

I have alot of jeans and all I am saying is Nudie is NOT good quality.

That's not a comforting thought when I have RRDS coming. Sorry about your jeans man, hopefully I'll have better luck with mine.

the dry selvedge is TUFF. i don't think you'll have to worry about that. it's just because the ola denim is lighter

If so, it will happen to any jeans, no matter the 'quality'

Is any1 gonna wash their dry jeans any time soon? I can't wait to see some pictures! I think some1 here has a pair of 11-month-old nudies, it's time to wash them! lets see some pics.

my denimbirds when they were new:



i've been wearing them for 2 weeks now and no notable changes yet...

post pics of you wearing them

seriously, i dont think any denim would hold up for 6months of abuse. its bound to get a rip at the hem or crotch/butt area, or have holes in the back pocket and whatnot. i personally think they add character. i dont know, having a few raw pairs myself, honestly sometimes i feel a few members here are missing out on the whole concept of breaking in raw denims.

I get the point...I will roll up and down my drive way to break them in

heh

I'm just joking How long did you wear your raw denim before washing them?

the first wash is typically about 4months of wear. i usually wash them when they start to get wears among the whiskers and other creases. then i dont wash them for a long time. i perfer to have achieve subtle fading on the first wash, and go for more pronouced ones on the washes after that.

heres the only pic i could find at the moment,

the regular ralf dry selvage was washed once. worn for about 8 months or so, it was one size big so i wore it really loose and slouchy. Sandwiched in between two pairs of dior hommes

wow nice colour on those...

My dry don't see the light of day much, because of the usual overcast we have here. I don't want to wear it when its wet outside.

WOW Your RRDS turned out awesome!

Does diesel offer anything unwashed? I've heard people say they do, but they're usually refering to the shazor 88z which is one rinse.

those nudies are SICK good job!

thanks! it is a little bit more subtle in real life, but they definitely look like a totally different jean.

Honestly I love dry denim and I always have a pair laying around now. They're my ultimate "beater" jeans because you literally don't have to give a crap about them at all. Stains, mud, scratches, who cares? This is a far cry from me freaking out over every little stain on some of my more detailed washed jeans.

They use Japanese denim....

chim: what temperature did you wash yours at? also, did you just throw them in the washer with a normal cycle wash?

mine are 2 months and going
