SHAMELESS IG PLUG I'd like to thank my friend for pointing these out. We were at Nordstrom Rack and he found these way deep in the back of the store. They were marked down to like $80 and the retail for these is around $185. I haven't spent more than $50 on jeans before but considering the price of these, they were definitely a steal worth taking. Also because considering my Nordstrom rack doesn't have anything other than Tommy Bahama. So, these are the Lean Dean in the Dry Everblack color . They fit like slim jeans to me since I sized up to 36 from my regular waist size, 34 (based on Uniqlo.) They fit fine without a belt so I'm guessing that they're meant to be really tight. Good thing for me however since they don't come in a 35. The quality of these jeans is like none I've ever owned. The cotton they're weaved in is really tight and they come really stiff. I'm guessing it's because it's not like your regular run-of-the-mill denim. The color of these jeans are a really deep black and isn't faded like my other black denim. There's some branding all over the jean, on the back pocket and on the leather tag. I like it like this so it's clear that you're flexing on the normies but not annoying to the point where you're trying too hard. Nawmsayin? They fit a little wide near the thigh and leg opening I might get that tailored soon. Other than that, they look really nice cuffed up since they retain the shape really well. Should I get them hemmed? I'm not sure if the cuff looks too thick or not since I rolled it up about 4 times. Worth the $185 retail price tag? Probably not. On sale? Heck yeah.

Hmm. I have a pair of Lean Dean dry black selvedge and these seem insanely baggy for the cut. Though I will say the first soak shrinks them quite a bit (assuming yours have 1% elastane too). But being that they let you order a specific inseam I'm wondering if maybe these are too long for you. Good jean choice though, I love mine despite the fairly low rise. More on reddit.com

Not gonna lie, those are really obviously pre-faded, I'm not sure how the possibility of them being raw comes into mind. More on reddit.com

Lean Dean is a great fit. I´ve got quite a few myself. Yours are ´everblack´ because, if I´m not mistaken, they´re made of black yarn that got dyed black afterwards. A few pointers on how to keep them black. ( and in fact, this goes for indigo/blue denim too): First rule, and this is the most important one: don´t wash your jeans too often!!!! Wear them for a few days and then hang them so they can air. A bit smelly? Hang them in the bathroom while taking a shower, hang them outside or put them in the freezer overnight.
When they really need a wash: 30° Celsius, just a little bit of mild detergent, just 2 or 3 jeans at once in the washing machine. Take them out as soon as the cycle is finished, stretch them out and hang them to dry. Avoid ironing them. But most of all: you´re wearing a pair of Nudie Jeans!!! Enjoy them!
