Does "Dirty Dry Process Wash" = iodine?

Yes

 

[turbospartan]

Yes

I found a pair for $156 and I'm thinking of picking them up, but really just want the Nimbus pair. Can't find a good deal on those, though.

Honestly, iodine are probably my favorite JE pairs. They feel thicker and more substantial than nimbus imo.

Do you have both? Any pics?

The reason I like the Nimbus is that it seems like its more of a mid-blue, and I like the stack fades / honeycombs.

The Iodines are a bit darker it seems from pics, less fades, and a little "dirty" in some spots like the knees and top block.

I’m 5’10 150lbs and go medium in both villain and Escobar’s. Based on your stats I’d go large in villain and a medium to a large in the Escobar’s depending on how tight you like your sweats to fit. Honestly I think you should go large in both. My 2 cents

Thanks mate

I don’t know if you were ever into raw denim, but Iodines are like if you expertly faded a pair of blue raw denim over the course of 3-6 months of heavy wear with no washing/soaking. Not “soft”, but definitely a “broken in” raw denim feel as they are coarse/rigid and substantial feeling with little to no stretch.

Nimbus on the other hand feels like they are using the same base Jean and taking the aging process a little further in time, including soaks/washes to soften the denim and sun bleach/fading to accentuate the the thigh fade (also less “dirt” appearance b/c of the soaking/washing). Also I feel like SSENSE has Nimbus on sale every season for 225 in most sizes early in the cycle.

Just have to decide the fit and look you are after...

they need to bring back finished anti expos!

I would be all in on this.

Looks like a perfect fit imo.

Those look good

I found a smoking deal on them + I wanted run it by y'all before pulling the trigger on a final sale item.

I appreciate the help!

I concur. Go with the large in both.

I was into raw denim for a while (N&F, Unbranded, Levi's selvedge, etc.) but not looking to put that much effort into it anymore haha. I've actually considered getting the JE raw indigos, but also don't want to wait months/years before they fade (which was always my issue with raws... I don't wear them enough to get the fades I want, before moving on).

Its not that I don't like the Iodines... I just prefer the fading on the Nimbus. But even the Nimbus itself seems to vary, as I've seen very washed out pairs (almost like the Coast Ozones) or the ones that are mostly blue, except for the fading whiskers / honeycombs / stacks.

So my dilemma is get the Iodines now for a really good deal... or continue waiting it out for a deal on the Nimbus. Personally want to spend under $200, so I know opportunities are limited. Need a $120 deal !


Edit: Screw it... bought the Iodine's.

Last day of my extra long weekend. About to get out and enjoy this nice weather. Haven’t worn this shirt since last year so way overdue.

Looking great.. I love this JE print.!!

Haha nice, you’ll like them. Like I said, it’s all the benefits of a well worn in raw look with none of the hassle or maintenance, so really can’t go wrong.
