^They're not too costly, like $300+, yet they produce good fades and introduce you into this whole raw denim thing.
So it's not like you're spending a hefty price of $300 on a pair of jeans when you might not even like the fit/cut.
Edit: Remember, not everyone likes raw denim, so spending $300+ may be a lot for someone that might not even like raw denim.

i've been looking into nudies a lot and been contemplating if i should cop them or not for a rookie in this denim game.
also, i'm not sure if it has been answered or not, what's the difference between 'raw' and 'selvedge' ?
thanks for the props man! nudies are a GREAT way to start. they fade REALLY quickly, after a week or so you'll start to see results, and after 4-5months of steady wear you'll be ready to wash them. they're also pretty cheap. 1 qualm is that if you wear them too hard, they are prone tocrotch blow-outs. if you don't do any athletic activities in them, you should be fine.
what...?
if you call/email context or denimbar, i'm sure they'll be more than happy to measure them for you.

i got a question, my jeans i started on last week are only 11.5oz. whats gonna happen with them once they start to fade? because i know most denim you guysare talking about is heavier than that.

So what you're saying is they are good beginner jeans because they fade well and aren't too expensive? If thats the case then what makes the moreexpensive jeans so much better then the "cheaper" Nudies and APC's.
I recently bought a pair of KMW 1950's and I don't know what to call them but they seem to be fading similar to my APC's Rescues. Those retailedfor around 275 but thanks to style forums I paid around 180. I guess I'm trying to say that I don't really get the difference you guys are making inthe jeans...
EDIT:
Also who makes good quality washed denim (doesnt have to be selvedge), with simple fades?
thanks

LilJRDN, those Club Monaco jeans retail for 129 CDN here, and CM is a pretty common store comparable to Banana Republic...lol
Well look at that!Makes me wonder whether these areactual "raw denim"Hope this is higher quality denim than theones they usually use on their regular jeans (the way Levis uses raw denim on some of their jeans).
if you try reading some of the replies in here before posting, you'll realize that it's been discused ad nauseum. please refer to those posts, there's a great deal of information that's been posted, thanks.
All right, thanks! I just didn't know if the same rules applied. I know brand name won't matter as long as it's real raw denim but I just wanted tomake sure

Anyways, what I've been meaning to ask, I normally wear levis 527's, and I've been looking at checking out nudies/A.P.C. I'm leaning towards some regular ralfs, they look like they fit similar to the 527's, but I really don't want to buy a pair and have it just be a wierd fit as theres nowhere in colorado to try them on,

As fingerrollin said, they give you a feel for what you're dealing with. I think he would feel better offknowing that he spent $140 for some APC's, and didn't like them, rather than buying some Samurais or Iron Hearts for a pretty substantial price.

you can even stevens for 160-200 depending on the wash. dry organic, raw indigo, etc....
this is me in mine, some people may like jeans cut larger than this, if that your preference go with some regular ralfs or average joes
