The essence of dry denim is wearing it in yourself. Sadly enough, even the highest quality denims will eventually rip – especially if you wear them dry for a long time. In a short video just released, one of the Nudie Jeans guys demonstrates how to repair the small holes you sometimes get in worn in jeans. Master this skill and you will radically prolong the life of your favorite pair.

A dear friend and fellow denimhunter, Peter Rerskov, learned the technique years ago and he has done a few such repairs, like the one in the picture above, on some of his worn out Wrangler Blue Bells. Have a closer look here.

Thomas got into denim through a keen interest in manufacturing and a love for the well-faded jean. He's based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but he travels as much as his job allows. Through Denimhunters he has found a way to share his passion with likeminded enthusiasts while learning more about the blue fabric. Thomas' favourite jean is the 1947 501XX and he has a soft spot for Red Wing Shoes.
