We asked our colleagues Johan and Mathias to
dig deeper into their archives than ever before and
find something spectacular to donate. One is a set
of limited edition, selvage Grim Tims, the other is a
one-off High Kai from 2010.

If you enjoy your Nudie Jeans denim, thank Johan.
He’s part of the team who calls the shots on all
things denim around here. If you match his size, you
may become the lucky owner of this stunning set of
denim, and you’ll have even more reason to thank
him. This one is truly special.

”Working with denim doesn’t give me access to any
special tools, but when you work with
fabric-manufacturers and laundries, you spend a lot
of time on your hands and knees on dirty factory
floors. So, that’s one of the reasons why I’ve had the
knees replaced a couple of times.

In May 2013 we released a limited edition of Grim Tim
made with organic cotton from a tiny farm in New Mexico.
There were only 480 pairs made of these Japanese,
13.5 oz. selvage denim. They were broken in by Mathias,
but they may soon be yours to enjoy.

”Like a true denim head, I scribbled the date on
the pocket lining when I put them in rotation. However,
I don’t remember the first wash because I forgot to
write that on the pocket. Back then, my mindset
was always, ’Nine months before washing,’ but I
might have gone as far as twelve with this pair.
Also, I can’t remember whether they’re washed two
or three times. Maybe I’m not such a denim head
after all… But all repairs are done by me, will that
restore some credibility?”

These go fast, so grab your pair before they sell out.
