Nudie Jeans Co. Lean Dean Troubled Sea

Loose-fit jeans with a mid waist and wide A-line leg. A confident silhouette built on true Nudie Jeans heritage.

Crafted from our very first Dry denim fabric - the one and only. This 13.5 oz rigid organic cotton from the legendary Candiani Mill in Italy is part of our humble beginnings. Nestled in the western part of Lombardy, amidst the vibrancy of Milan and the scenic vineyards of Piemonte, Candiani draws inspiration from its rich surroundings. It’s raw and honest in its potential. Ring-spun cotton gives it strength and texture, while the rich indigo dye and orange threads add bold contrast. The vertical streaks in the fabric are already visible, waiting to be brought to life through wear, and will add striking contrast to the fades to come.

The texture and hand are smooth, but the warp yarns bring a subtle unevenness that makes this denim anything but ordinary. This is denim that doesn’t just age - it evolves. Every crease, every fade, every mark will be signed by you and you alone. The ring-spun cotton is ready to be broken in, and the rich indigo dye is ready to give way to remarkable fades. What sets this piece apart from other pristine selvages from Candiani is the strong and pronounced ecru coloured embroidery covering the back pockets. This, along with the bright orange seams, makes this pair of jeans boast with its resolve.

Wear it hard, wear it often. The more you challenge it, the more it gives back. This fabric is designed to reflect your life.
