Hey all,

Just a question I bought a pair of Nudie Slim Jims back in November and have warn them almost every day. It's coming up on six months now and I'm thinking about washing them. I do have a question,

How will the jeans changed after I wash them? (Other than the grime being gone). Will the area that have the most wear loose more indigo than other areas? Such as behind the honeycomb knees.

Does anyone have pictures of a pair of jeans before they were wash then a picture after?

Just curious as much as anything.

Thanks!!

If you're ready to wash them just do it and see what happens. There's plenty of before/after jean pics if you search. You'll probably find more nudie specific pictures at sufu or mynudies.


Also "I have a jean" thread for small questions.

In general, the denim will loose some of its colour. where there is more wear, at the creases etc, there will be more colour loss.

And don't forget to check out the Post pics of you denim thread (http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=11022) to see some good example of before and after. And post pics of yours if you like.
