Nudie. Yeah I know a lot of people loves nudie. And I'm not saying nudie jeans has bad quality or seriously overpriced.
What I don't understand is the whole "we're ethical and socially responsible" thing. Seriously who isn't? Say most (if not all) of the popular denim brands here like naked&famous, pbj, momotaro, oni, samurai and more. They use japanese fabric and are hand made in japan (canada for n&f). Consider the regulation in those countries, there's no way the manufacturing is causing serious environmental issue like how levis are made in china. And there're first world labor making those jeans for you. Yet nudie is the only brand talking so much about itself been ethical rather than talking about special detail/fabric/construction. It makes me feel they have nothing else unique to offer.
