Nudie Jeans review

Nudie Jeans is the pick for buyers who want a pair to last. The Swedish brand was founded in Gothenburg in 2001 around dry denim, and it says all its jeans are made with 100% organic cotton, from stretch denim to rigid selvedge for denim enthusiasts. Its key service is repair: Nudie began repairing jeans in 2007, and today its Repair Shops fix Nudie jeans for free, resell them or take them for recycling. The men's range covers fits from Tight Terry and Lean Dean to Grim Tim, Gritty Jackson, Steady Eddie II and Loud Larry, with waist sizes from 24 to 38 and lengths from 28 to 36. On the US store, men's jeans started at $195 for styles such as Grim Tim Blue Horizon, with others at $210 to $240. The fit names are playful rather than descriptive, so read the product copy: Grim Tim, for example, is a slim fit with a low waist and straight leg.
