Then look at Dior Homme, Acne, Nudie.

Never even thought of looking at Nudie pre-distressed. But no I already have a raw pair. Don't wear the same pair of jeans enough to make them look nice.

LVR which arguably retails them for the cheapest (incl duties/shipping), sells most pre-distressed pairs for $550+. Nicer ones like jake/umc/rack-rail run upwards of $600-700.

My vote goes to Dior Hommes as well. Absolutely beautiful pre-distressed jeans. Imo... they make the best denim in terms of fit and design (pre-distressed). Very expensive though... especially in recent years with KVA took over.

I guess I should have specified my price range... sub $400.

They had about 4-6 diff pairs in stock last time I was there (over a year ago). Ridiculous prices though, I suggest you try them on in store and order from LVR (shipping and duties/tax included in price). Much much cheaper!

If i could still find a dior 19cm mij in indigo...I'd put off driving for a month just to buy a pair hahaha.

Hope your size is there.

If link doesnt work, go to LVR and look for the '19CM BRUT DENIM JEANS'. It's the MIJ raws.

They restock every couple of months!

Nudies it is! Baldwin denim also has some nice pre-distressed denim, but i'm not sure where to get some in town :suspicious:

I think they've increased the price every single restock for the past 2 years now. The one time where prices were low (that I can recall) was when CAD was strong and had a good exchange rate with the EUR. I think at that point it was in the mid 300's for a pair. But soon after, it rose back to normal.

Does pre distressed just mean they've been washed and they aren't raw/dry? So nudie does sell some like this? I usually get my jeans ans wash/dry them to shrink the length as much as possible and then get them hemmed, can I do that with them?




Are all average joe's not raw denim?

RevYouUp 05-17-2013 06:31 PM

Yea pre distressed is denim thats been washed. They aren't raw. Nudie does sell pre distressed denim. I wouldn't recommend washing raw denim before they are broken in..

The link you've provided is pre distressed denim. I'm not sure if Nudies sell average joe's in raw. I don't see it on the website, I'm not 100% sure though, I've never owned a pair of Nudies before.

ShaneN 05-17-2013 09:24 PM

thanks for the reply. i want pre distressed, didn't know nudie made any. So that pair of average joe's will be just like most my other pairs of jeans where I can wash and dry them right at purchase and then get them hemmed not having to worry about wearing them in or losing a lot of the dye/darkness? As it is now, I don't wash my normal jeans EVERY time I wear them. I wash them every few times but I like washing and drying them right away so after they're hemmed they don't shrink anymore. After that I actually hang dry them. I think I'll give some nudies re distressed a try. So with raw denim you want to buy them as tight as you can fit on because they're stretch as you break them in, but this pre distressed I'll probably want to buy slightly on the bigger size since I'll be washing and drying them right away?

Ok, so if one wanted to find a pre distressed nudies in about a 36 or 38, where would one go? I've seen nudies at a bunch of random stores but always just a small handful of times and ofton raw (or what i thought was at the time).

RevYouUp 05-17-2013 09:29 PM

Yea, you should be able to wash and dry that pair of Average Joe's without worry. But, any kind of denim will lose some dye/darkness on its first wash.

i am still waiting on my belt

will the wallet only get like that if you wear raw denim jeans?

woob 05-18-2013 10:02 AM

No. Just sunlight will eventually darken the leather.

yogenfruz 05-18-2013 05:29 PM

Kind of a dumb question, but what would be the best way to stretch out a pair of new jeans before washing them for the first time? Aside from generally just wearing them and bending at the knees/waist, how else could I stretch these areas out a little?

RevYouUp 05-18-2013 07:17 PM

Soaking and pulling might work

PJ 05-18-2013 11:11 PM

Took a day off of the raws today and threw on some old Sevens... to my surprise, it felt verrry nice, my god.
I forgot how soft and free non-raws are

RESN 05-28-2013 11:54 AM

APC PETITE STANDARDS. Got some 28, 29, 30 and 31. Willing to sell for $130 to the RS DENIM HEADS. Need money for my trip to see KENDRICKKKK

Arirang 06-09-2013 05:54 PM

Washed my nudie thin finn's today
I know they aren't that faded, but I got a pair of APC Petit standards so I won't be wearing the nudies much anymore so thought might as well wash the nudies.
These are 7-8 months in, and will post the finished picture when they're dried.
