Grim Tim Dry Original Selvedge
by Nudie Jeans
$320.00 CAD
Slim fit, straight-leg, dry selvage jeans. Made with organic 13.5 oz. comfort stretch, Kaihara selvage denim.
This right here is special, the comfort stretch version of Nudie's first ever selvage denim from legendary Japanese denim mill Kaihara. The rigid version left us in awe back in 2001, and thanks to its excellent aging property, it still does to this day. This version is developed to possess the same aging property but with stretch, making it comfortable and appropriate for slim fits.
The Dry Original Selvage has a deep indigo warp, unbleached, vintage-inspired ecru weft, tight construction, dry hand, and starchy crispiness. It is pure beauty in its dry state, but the most significant 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 it a deep and muted indigo blue hue that looks utterly beautiful, contrasted by Nudie's signature orange thread. It is also what gives the denim its intriguing nuances as it ages. It is what we 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. Intriguing and mind-boggling! Our hats off for Kaihara's denim and indigo artisans, forever.
