yes, it's raw. Nostalgy = raw, Made in Italy; Brut = raw, Made in Japan (LVR naming).

I just checked LVR web sites and there are listed Nostalgy Brut jeans = Made in Italy.

It really is. I still need to post my Dior raw progress. I've had them for around 7 months of average wear.

Here are my made in japan Dior Homme Raws after about 7 months of average wear:

looks great man as usual

thank you man

I'm bored with my APC raws, but those Diors always respark my interest!

I love those Diors, I want to get a pair!

 

I didnt even realize people were posting here I will post up my APCs soon

Here are my APC NS.. I probably could have done NC, but I still love em. About a year and a few months old, no wash or soak. Do you guys think I should wash/soak them? They don't smell particularly bad, but I hear it helps with the fading process which isn't very significant so far it seems.

 

 

 

Honey combs look good. I take a bath with my raws on once every month and half or so. It does help fading. I put small Amt of baby detergent in tub and fill up with warm water. I soak them for about ten min. Then I drain water and turn on shower to wash out detergent. The whole time I keep all honeycombs and whiskers formed including the stacks(by pulling them up on calfs). Then I carefully take them off and hang dry them. I reform all creases while hanging wet

I'm gonna try that! To be completely clear you are wearing them in the tub right? Is there an advantage to this than just rinsing them by hand?

 

Should I expect the denim to feel more stiff or flimsy after drying? And how exactly do you "reform all creases"?

Yes they are on in the tub. No the denim doesn't feel different once they're on again after being hung dried. Reform creases exactly how it seems: use your fingers to pinch the and crease the areas that are supposed to be creased (whiskers and stacks and honeycombs).

Naked And Famous Red Core. The hide side. The morning light really shows the red coming through. I like the horizontal lines. I would like to know the kind of weave this is because I like it.

White is the Color of snow
So pure and free of sin inside a piece of lightening
White is the color of a striking bolt of righteousness
Worthy of praise the wondrous peril
White is the color of an eyeball. 

Reverse Fade is the new Punk Rock.
