Sigged, oh wait, no I didn't.

nudies just use a really low quality denim, should've expected it.

That is really weird about the fades. IIRC nudies are fast-faders, and all the pairs I've seen have really contrast-y fades unless they were washed very early on---which yours clearly weren't. Sucks about the blowout, I'm getting one repaired at the moment.

Slim Jim Dry JAPAN do not fade fast in my experience. They're not nearly as brutal as Ande's cone mills denim, which is what I'm wearing now, but still.

thats some serious fade fail

Yea, my petite standards are getting pretty thin around the crotch too and it has been about 6months. It's not only that nudies are in general kinda cheap. But it's what happens when you wear slim jeans almost every single day without rotating them and also never washing them. I know a lot of guys on here who wash their jeans a fair amount and seems to help them in terms of fabric strength.

This is why jeans with some poly or stretch in them last forever. It's not always about quality.

I may as well wash my apcs one of these days so i can do so before they blowout

Wait, so you mean taking care of your clothing properly as has been done by generations of people makes it last longer? Who the hell would have ever guessed?

Well to be honest, the main problem people have is sizing down on things or wearing slim jeans and wearing the same ones over and over, often doing stuff like biking or other things because they want them to wear down faster. I fully understand that but i think some people don't understand that wearing their jeans hard to get good defined fades will wear the jeans down. I mean, that's basically what the fades are implying.

loosen the fit a little

raw is overrated

 

[chronoaug]

It very much is but nice to have one pair to mess around with

If people will insist on sizing down on jeans and then wearing them constantly they should expect them to fall to bits. I've loads of Nudies and I've never had a problem.

I dunno why people complain about Nudie quality so damn much. Sure it falls short of the artisinal Japanese brands, but they're also on the order of $50-100 cheaper usually, have more modern and larger variety of cuts, and are still leaps and bounds ahead of any mainstream designer jeans in terms of quality. Compare to TR, 7FAM, or R&R and it's a JOKE.

The other brands that make similar-better quality jeans for the same price range are usually really small scale (in one or two shops in the entirety of the US, only available online, made to order) or made in only one or two cuts from a larger scale brand. Nudie does what they do well, and while they're not the best jean on the market, they don't deserve the hate you guys dole out on a regular basis.

Recently happened to my Ande Whall's. Crotch blew out way before any sort of real fades showed up.

My Ande's crotch blow out was legendary lol, it stretched all the way to the back of the leg

Got good fades though... Just ripped my back pocket by mistake too.
