This right here is special to Nudie Jeans, the 13.75oz Kaihara "Dry Selvage". It left them in awe back in 2001, and thanks to its incredible aging property, it still does to this day. It is the first selvage denim Nudie Jeans ever used, and it is one reason Nudie Jeans exists. This is their heritage.
You see, it was when one of our founders, Maria, got her eyes on this particular denim that what is today Nudie Jeans started to take form. And it's no wonder as it is exceptionally appealing - it has a deep indigo warp, unbleached, vintage-inspired "ecru" weft, tight construction, dry hand, and starchy crispiness.
Yet, the greatest part of the denim is its aging property - how it evolves with wearing. To understand it, let us get a bit technical. The warp is first dyed in a dark sulfur dye and subsequently in indigo. This dyeing technique gives the "Dry Selvage" the deep and muted indigo blue hue that looks so utterly beautiful, accompanied by Nudie Jeans' orange thread. It is also what gives the denim its intriguing nuances as it ages. It is what they call a greencast denim, denim that has a slight greenish-blue hue that becomes more evident with wearing. With years of wear and some washes - as the dark denim turns lighter in tone - the greencast starts to lean towards a redcast - clear blue - hue. This is why it is so intriguingly beautiful and has remained in the collection since the start of Nudie Jeans back in 2001.
