NUDIE JEANS Lean Dean Blue Noise

Slim-fit jeans with a tapered leg, in a lovely brightly washed broken twill denim. Softly washed to vibrant shades of indigo with authentic wearmarks, these jeans have achieved an vintage appearance with intricate detailing and great comfort.

This broken twill denim was meticulously developed to achieve a dense and substantial weight with apparent softness—a unique combination uncommon in regular denim but perfectly suited for broken twill. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of vintage broken twill denim pieces, we carefully crafted this fabric to create our best-ever broken twill denim. The tactility is sturdy yet soft, boasting a rich vintage-like hand. The texture is flat and uniform, with subtly irregular yarn slub adding an important textural contrast. The indigo and sulfur-dyed mid-blue warp yarns allow the denim to age gracefully into magical aquatic-like blue hues.

Interested in learning more about broken twill denim? Broken twill is a modification of the traditional twill weave. By altering the diagonal direction of the twill, broken twill creates a distinct zig-zag pattern. While aesthetically pleasing, this alteration also has a practical advantage—it reduces the fabric’s inherent tension, resulting in a softer fabric compared to its right-hand twill counterpart.
