Description

Regular-fit jeans with a high waist and a straight leg.

These jeans started out as your classic blue jeans. They've since been garment dyed with a clear brown colour, resulting in a pair of jeans that carries some true depth. With time and wear, the line between the original indigo and the overdye will gradually soften, revealing an evolving interplay between the two layers of colour, and you'll end up with something truly interesting. As the garment has been dyed in its entirety, the threads have adopted a new colour as well.

This piece carries an intensely deep brown with brighter highlights and richer dark browns - with an entire spectrum in between.

What started out as something familiar has developed into something that sets itself apart. It's proof that the end of something old can be the beginning of something new. Consider this a comeback story.

We'll let you make up your own stories about it, but let's just agree, it's great.

Great Jeans. Love the colour. And love a higher waist. Wish there were more pants in the world like this.

Just brilliant. I recently discovered Nudie Jeans when they opened in Bristol just across the street from my work. Prior to that I didn’t really think much about a good pair of denims. Now I can’t believe I went so long without them. These are the coolest jeans I’ve owned, such a wonderful chocolatey brown with the original blue stitching popping through which makes me excited to watch them age. Already had a couple comments asking where they’re from. Excellent fit as ever, found these a touch tighter through the leg than my Tuff Tony’s but that’s what was advertised in the difference in fit , which is a nice switch up when I go back and forth between which I wear. Utterly excellent customer service as ever and truly wonderful staff in Bristol who I chatted to about these when on the fence, I went home and ordered as I didn’t want to miss out the limited run. Will continue to keep buying from Nudie now, quality and fit just second to none.

Great fit (I sized down from 34 to 33) and beautiful colour. I look forward to the fades on these beauties!

Unlike the usual run-of-the-mill jeans, a different colour (doesn't sound much)! It means a big deal to me. A limited amount of these made, makes them extra special, too.

Beautiful colour that will change as they wear in. Fits perfectly. Love the button fly.

I bought a pair of brown Denim jeans from Fiorucci in the 1980s. They lasted me for two decades but I finally had to say goodbye to them. Since then I’ve been on the hunt for a new pair and what could be better than my favourite jeans brand having just the right pair! I love the colour. I love the fit. I love the denim. My life is complete again!
