Guide to the Best Jeans Fits from Nudie in Japanese Selvedge and Raw Denim

Nudie Jeans Co., often simply referred to as Nudie, was founded in 2001 with a focus on raw, or as they call it, “dry” denim. Starting with a single pair of selvedge jeans, they quickly gained a cult following for their commitment to Japanese selvedge and raw denim.
 
For over two decades, Nudie has been an innovator in denim while maintaining a strong focus on quality and sustainability, with selvedge denim still central to their collection.
 
Like so many denimheads that also “came of age” in the late 2000s, Nudie was a gateway brand for me. My most cherished pair is an Average Joe, made from the original Kaihara selvedge. I wore them daily for about five months without an initial soak, leading to distinctive ‘scars’ and breaks after the first wash—a learning experience that challenged the common wait-6-months-before-you-wash approach.
 
This profile explores the current top picks of Nudie’s jeans fits and their selection of Japanese selvedge denim.
