Nudie Jeans, the Swedish denim that gets repaired
Nudie Jeans was born in Gothenburg in 2001, initiated by Maria Erixon, former head of style at Lee Europe. Since 2012, all the brand's denim is woven from organic cotton, and its Repair Shops repair damaged jeans for free, as often as needed. Each cut carries a name: the Lean Dean is a tapered slim fit, the Steady Eddie is a regular fit with a tapered leg, the Gritty Jackson is a regular fit with a straight leg, and the Tuff Tony is a roomier fit with a dropped crotch. The choice primarily depends on thigh width, then on how the leg tapers towards the ankle.

Raw denim: the patina that tells its wearer's story
A raw denim, or dry, has not been washed after dyeing: the indigo is intact and the fabric remains stiff for the first few weeks. Over time, creases form as whiskers on the hips and waffle patterns behind the knees, unique wear for every shape. This is the principle behind the Dry versions of Nudie Jeans. A sanforized denim has been stabilized in the factory and hardly shrinks, whereas unsanforized fabric loses length after the first wash. The raw should be chosen slightly fitted, as it relaxes at the waist and knees and releases indigo onto light fabrics in the early days.
Lee, Wrangler, Dickies, Ariat: the American school
Big American names create sturdy jeans. Lee, founded in 1889 in Kansas, offers the Brooklyn Straight, a timeless straight cut, and a Slim Fit for a more tailored look. Wrangler designed a jean for rodeo riders in 1947, and its straight cuts retain the strong fabric. Dickies, born in Texas in 1922 making workwear, offers a tapered jean with reinforced stitching. Ariat, an equestrian and western brand, designs its Rocker Stretch for both the saddle and the city, featuring stretchy fabric and a straight leg. Le Temps des Cerises, a Marseille-based brand, adds well-crafted washes to the mix.
Chinos, cargos and joggers: the jeans alternative
The chino, made from cotton twill, offers a dressier look than denim: the Marco from Jack & Jones is a slim cut, while the Luca from KnowledgeCotton Apparel, a Danish brand committed to organic cotton, comes in a softer slim fit. The cargo trousers are identified by their side pockets: the Rovic from G-Star, a brand from Amsterdam founded in 1989, adds a three-dimensional cut that follows the knee, and the Worker Stretch from Payper uses the stretchy fabric found in workwear. For outdoor workdays, the softshell trousers from Result block the wind. The Nike Tech joggers, made from double-faced fleece, focus on lightweight warmth.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my jean tear between the legs?
The friction of the thighs wears the fabric at the crotch, especially on a fitted cut or light denim. A thicker denim, a slightly looser fit, and repairing at the first signs of wear will extend its life.
How to read the W and L size of a jean?
The W indicates the waist size in inches, while the L indicates the inseam length, also in inches. A W thirty-two is roughly equivalent to eighty-one centimetres around the waist, to be measured on a jean that already fits you well.
How long should I wait before washing a raw jean?
Purists wait several months to allow the patina to form. After that, wash it cold, turned inside out, with a small amount of detergent and without a heavy spin cycle, then let it dry flat to preserve the indigo.
How to shorten a jean without losing its original hem?
The technique for the original hem involves cutting above the hem and then sewing it back on higher. The natural wear at the bottom of the leg is preserved, unlike a new hem, which can be too clean.
How to fold trousers to save space?
Fold them in half lengthwise, leg on leg, then roll them from the waist. Stored upright in a drawer, rolled trousers take up less space and won’t have deep creases.
