WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Michael; I’m a 22-year-old college graduate from Brooklyn, New York, USA. I’m also an independent hip-hop artist/producer going by the name Scarlet Weapon.

WHAT´S THE STORY ABOUT YOUR PHOTO?
I wanted to have a photograph with a concept behind it, as a picture is worth a thousand words, I wanted these words to provoke thought. When I initially had the photo taken, the message I wanted to display was that Nudie Jeans Co going 100% Organic is music to my ears. Now looking back at the photo, it says so much more, but that’s up for interpretation.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST FIND ABOUT NUDIE?
The first time I heard of Nudie was probably in 2009, I was listening to a freestyle by the late great Stack Bundles, and I heard him say “Nudie Wallet & Jeans”. After listening to that, I searched that exact phrase on Google, and got to the Nudie website. At first I just thought they were some cool looking jeans, but then I read the whole philosophy of denim being like an extra layer of skin and truly respected the brand, and knew some day I’d own a pair.

DO YOU HAVE ANY NUDIES AND WHAT FIT IS YOUR FAVORITE?
Yes I do, I’m proud to say that since April 2011 till today, I’ve added 2 jackets, 1 tee shirt, and 9 pairs of jeans to my collection, with more to come as time progresses.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO ABOUT THE ITALY TRIP?
I look forward to everything, from the change of environment, to being around others who share a love for Nudie Jeans, and getting to meet the people who actually manufacture the denim I love.

WHAT DO YOU PREFER, DRY OR PREWASHED JEANS?
While I do love the washes that you guys come up with, I do feel that dry denim builds more of a connection and relationship, as well as memories with the jeans. My Conny Dry has been bleeding slowly, but beautifully for the past 2 years, unwashed.

WHAT FIT IS YOUR FAVORITE AND WHY?
My favorite fit is the Grim Tim, it fits the best around my waist like no other, and it has just the right amount of slimness in the entire leg that it doesn’t squeeze, nor does it give too much room. It also has the perfect rise and yoke for both comfort and aesthetics. Thank you again for the opportunities, I’m still amazed to have won.

We love denim. We really, really love denim. If it was up to us – the computer, phone, or tablet you’re reading this in would be in denim.

So what we’ve done this time is a rug made of old and worn out Nudie Jeans. The jeans were first cut down to serrated strips which were sewn together and then rolled up on spools. The strips were then woven together by hand on a manual shuttle loom. The weft is made from indigo dyed thread, the same that’s used for the Nudie Jeans denims. The rugs have been made in a limited edition and all of them are numbered from 1-120.

WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Anthony, I’m 31 and I’m from Melbourne, Australia.

WHAT´S THE STORY ABOUT YOUR PHOTO?
The idea came from the song “Surfin’ Bird” by The Trashmen. I had made the birds and put them in the frame a little while earlier, so then I just made the speech bubbles and took the photo. The denim bird in the middle is actually denim made with organic cotton from India. The frame was from the side of the road and the branch from my yard.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST FIND ABOUT NUDIE JEANS?
It was about 2006. I just happened to be passing the Nudie Jeans Concept Store here in Melbourne, went in to have a look and walked out with a pair of Low Slim Jim (as they were called at the time) Dry Comfort. I was told not to wash them for 6 months. Didn’t get it until after 6 or 7 months when I washed them. They looked incredible and I still have them. I’ve been hooked ever since!

DO YOU HAVE ANY NUDIE JEANS AND WHAT FIT IS YOUR FAVORITE?
Since my first pair I have added some more. Thin Finn Organic Dry Ecru Embo, I’ve had them almost five years and came with me when I backpacked in Europe. Two and a bit year old Grim Tim Red Selvage. About two months ago I got a pair of Hank Rey Organic Selvage. I have a few others but these are my favourites.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO ABOUT THE ITALY TRIP?
Where to start! I look forward to seeing the hands making the jeans and the sounds on the workshop floor. The Italian countryside and the local foods. I guess most of all I hope to see some amazing things I haven’t seen before.

WHAT DO YOU PREFER, DRY OR PREWASHED JEANS?
Live and die dry.

WHAT FIT IS YOUR FAVORITE AND WHY?
Thin Finn is my favourite fit. I think it’s a modern day classic that works for so many people. I remember I once saw a women, she would have been about 65, wearing dry heavy selvage and rockin’ it! She told me her son suggested she get some dry’s. Good advice I reckon!

WHO ARE YOU?
I am Lawrence Foster. I live in Sydney, Australia. 33 years of age.

WHAT´S THE STORY ABOUT YOUR PHOTO?
My photo was taken in Hawaii on the island of Kauai while I was on holidays. I figured I’d laminate the 100% ORGANIC sign and try something different. Under the water is still so organic and unspoiled by us humans. It’s a different world down there.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST FIND ABOUT NUDIE JEANS?
I found out about Nudie in about 2003. A friend came home and said, “check out these jeans, I’m not allowed to wash them.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY NUDIES AND WHAT FIT IS YOUR FAVOURITE?
I have about 15 pairs of Nudie Jeans. My favourite of all time is the Thin Finn Dry Black Coated.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO ABOUT THE ITALY TRIP?
Italy in general is amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing a side of it I never thought of. I just love travelling in general.

WHAT DO YOU PREFER, DRY OR PREWASHED JEANS?
I like dry jeans as I treat them like a new project every new pair. It takes a good year to wear them in and it’s rewarding when you can look back at the year through your jeans.

WHAT FIT IS YOUR FAVOURITE AND WHY?
I’m into the Tape Ted fit at the moment. It fits in all the right places.

Enjoy your trip Lawrence and once again, congratulations!

Lukas Harris is our store manager for our concept store in Melbourne. Below is his story about his very first contact with Nudie Jeans and how he and is Finn Thinn went from being separate entities to a unity.

“My love affair started with Nudie jeans back in 2006 before I worked for the company. I purchased one of the first ever Thinn Finns in the infamous dry black denim, from the little Collins St concept store in Melbourne. After seeing my best mate wearing a pair and being a denim lover I wanted to know more about this Swedish denim brand using the best quality denims being made in Italy. I had to have a pair in my collection…

6 years on and my very first pair of thin Finns are still alive and well. These are my most prize possession and if my house was burning down these would be the first thing I would grab before running out.

They have seen plenty of action over the years, from crazy nights out on the town, weekend camping trips, music festivals; I’ve even worn them to the races and tried to pass them off as suite pants. Unfortunately they wouldn’t let me into the members stand that day as there were a no jeans allowed policy.

As you can see a lot of wear and tear and TLC has gone into these jeans over the years. I’ve had to repair them 15 times, but each repair and hole tells a story and is special to me in its own way. They are now my “lucky jeans” and only come out on special accessions. 

I’m now the manager at the chapel st concept store in Melbourne and my lover affair with nudie jeans continues, which has taken me all the way too Sweden, Italy and back again. 

What does your first pair of nudies look like? Do they need some tender loving care? Head down to the Chapel St store and book them in for a repair at our repair shop. Be sure to check out our new SS/13 collection that has just arrived and chat to us about your Nudie Jeans experience. “

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and keep doing that great job Lukas!
