About Nudie Jeans
Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2001, Nudie Jeans set out to make denim responsibly. Every piece of denim they produce uses 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, and their free lifetime repair program — available at any Nudie store worldwide — is considered a gold standard in slow fashion.
📏 Fit Notes
W28 x L28, L30, and L32 are all available across most styles. Multiple inseam lengths starting from 28" make them one of the best options for shorter-inseam shoppers seeking ethical denim. Sizing is true-to-size with stretch styles accommodating body variation well.
