Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Wear
Upon receiving your Nudie Jeans Steady Eddie II, simply try them on to ensure the `Waist 34` size and `regular tapered fit` are comfortable. The `hard denim` may feel a little stiff initially, but it will soften and mold to your body with wear.
Compatibility
These grey jeans offer excellent versatility:
- Footwear: The `narrow leg opening` pairs well with most sneakers, low-top boots, and loafers. For bulkier boots, you might prefer to cuff the jeans.
- Tops: The neutral grey color makes it compatible with a wide range of colors and styles, from crisp white t-shirts to darker sweaters and jackets.
- Accessories: Antique silver trim and black stitching allow for easy pairing with silver or black accessories.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the look of your Nudie Jeans.
- First Wash: It is often recommended to wear new denim for as long as possible before the first wash to encourage unique fading patterns. However, since these are `gently washed`, you can wash them sooner if desired.
- Washing: To minimize fading and maintain the denim's integrity, wash your jeans `inside out` in `cold water` on a `gentle cycle`.
- Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging or laying flat to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fit. Avoid machine drying, as high heat can damage denim fibers and cause excessive shrinkage.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap to avoid a full wash.
- Storage: Store jeans folded or hung in a cool, dry place.
