Fade Friday – Nudie Grim Tim Dry Selvage (20 Months, 3 Washes, 3 Soaks)

Filemon over in Indonesia has been wearing his Nudie Grim Tim Dry Selvage Jeans every day for just over 18 months, giving them 3 soaks and 3 washes in the process. And although that description is incredibly in-depth, we might need to hire a private investigator to dig deeper, ’cause we want the recipe.

With the airbrush blue thighs with thin whiskering streaks to the flakey honeycombs — all of which possess a healthy shadowy underbrim — if these jeans could talk, I’m sure they’d have a lot to say. Are we close to that technology by the way?

With one crotch blowout and repair under their waistband, these jeans have seen some things but have a long life ahead of them with Filemon at the helm. They also serve as another reminder that the Southeast Asian climate is a complete cheat code to denim evolution, even when it comes to widely available, entry-level raw denim.
