Winner #8 – Dirkie from Belgium
What's in that pocket?
Nice creases.
Congrats Dirkie from Belgium. A worthy winner even though his Slim Jim Organic Dry Ecru Embo haven’t been washed yet.
From Dirkie’s presentation:
“don’t intend to wash them, because fading is just now becoming good,… pity would like wash them before competition end, but the fading is not satisfied yet, they are real hard to break in”
You are right. But please send us a pic when you have washed them.
The snow trick.
Thanks, I didn’t expect to win, because these Nudies are very hard to break in. You have to wear them a lot before you can see any bleeding. I shall upload pics before and after wash.
Question: What’s the snow trick? How do you do it?
It got a smell, and it was snowing – so I left it in my backyard for the night to air – but instead it was a snowsoak it was wet the following morning, but I got lost of the smell.
Hey Dirk!
I’m Belgian too, but I’ll write in English for the rest of the readers…
I boought the same pants today, And I wondered if you have some tips for breaking them in, and keeping them clean?? It’s my first Nudie, so I’m clueless
And can I ask where you buy them? I would love to get more…
Thnx
Gert
Dag Gert,
Wear them as long as possible, if you think they are smelly, just put them for a night into the freezer. It did it twice and the snowsoak also had effect, don’t wash them too soon, the longer you wear them the nicer they will become – also getting more comfy. If you the smell stays, a cold soak can do and if this smell last staying, you have to wash them. Another good advice : don’t let your mother lay hands your jeans to wash them, mine did try to do so, but luckely didn’t succeed.
I bought mine at Men-at-Work in Bruges (Brugge) – but for dry selvages and special ones best choice is Nudies Online Shop. Also check the Nudie Stores in Belgium on the site.
I’ll hope I gave you some cool advise, and good luck with the break-in. Mail some pics of your break-in.
Dirkie
