[SoulRebel]

nice

[SteveLeviathan]

looks good. 8-)

[BlueOctoberFan]

I'm guessing I may not be a fan... Not big on the carrot-fit, or the selvage line coin pocket.

[SoulRebel]

but after some looking is it not just the AJ LAB?

[SteveLeviathan]

Its going to cost 1799:- SEK!


That is:
€192
$285
£150
¥31175

[cameland]

lol how do you even pronounce that name?

[pekklemon]

lol i wonder if it will reach up to your belly button >< looks pretty high

[SteveLeviathan]

lol how do you even pronounce that name?

i guess it's something along the lines of: Big Banged.

[SteveLeviathan]

lol i wonder if it will reach up to your belly button >< looks pretty high

only if you pull it up that high i guess, but i think it should be worn low rise with a low crotch.

[NudieNoobie]

ugh, ill pass on these

reminds me of mom jeans

This looks like it was made for big people who want to wear slim jeans.

[Thin_finn]

This looks like it was made for big people who want to wear slim jeans.

Haha...:-) agreed with that...:-D

[dwie]

So it is like baggy to the knee, and from knee down tapered?

[nudieaddict]

if that description is accurate then these sound absolutely hideous...

[Enigma]

I will try to translate, but my Swedish is pretty bad:

Nyhet! Big Bengt är en ny passform som kommer hitta sin plats i hjärtat. Denna modell kommer att finnas i butik våren 2009. Passformen har långt gren och är vidare upptill, smalnar av från knä och ner. Big Bengt ger en härlig känsla av 50 tal. På bilderna kan ni se den ifrån vår LAB kollektion. Denna Big Bengt är i en kaihara 13,5oz kvalitet. I detta utförande kommer det att kosta 1799:-

News! Big Bengt is a new fit who comes made up from the heart. This comes to shops in early 2009. The cut has long wideness (not sure on this) and is further at the top, becomes of from knee and down. Big Bengt give a wonderful feeling of 50 speech. In pictures (?) can one see from our lab collection. This Big Bengt is in a kaihara(dye?) 13.5 oz quality. In this performance comes to at costing 1799

Fack, I wish my Swedish was better, but I'm learning.

Bingo! Different cuts/fits are intended to accomodate different body types.

[MHP]

reGuar > "våren 2009" = Spring 2009?

[M!ch]

i guess it's something along the lines of: Big Banged.

:lol: i guess i kinda like the name, not sure about the jeans though.

[Epilogue]

Uh ugly carrots, hehe.

[reGuar]

the linked pics in the first post are indeed lab joes
the pics in the article are not....i cant identify, much less begin to read the language on that page so i dont know whats up.

where's tiro to get all riled up about nudie making a roomier fit?


I posted the link on the AJ's just because to show the denim they're using on big bengt.



reGuar > "våren 2009" = Spring 2009?


Oopps, I was so friggin tired when I posted this.


I think the fit is kinda like the even steven, but the top is like... loose frank.

Enigma: Nice swedish! Really good translated, if I wasnt so tired yesterday I would do it myself.

[Tiro]

Uh ugly carrots, hehe.

cosigned! :p
this isn't a loose fit, it's a roomier ES... :-?

[Einzelkind]

So they bascially look like the jeans all the 'it-girls' are wearing these days.:roll:

[aksel]

The linked pics is NOT lab joes. It's joe dry selvage with a few personal modifications (worn 6 month and washed in 60 degrees celsius).

Big Bengt is great, i have seen it. It's a classic carott-fit. A bit narrower that even steven down at the foot and a bit higher waist. (Think 90s 501 or Acne's cut Generic Boy ) I would wear it down on the hips like a baggy fit and pinch roll it.

[loste]

holy crap how expensive they are.
not worth it, atleast for my legs.

i will pass on theese.

[aksel]

holy crap how expensive they are.

Thats just the Lab Big Bengt. The "dry heavy" and the two other washes I have seen are going to be regular Nudie prizes (correct me if i am wrong here, eric.). Keep your eye out for the "used seagreen" wash. It's amazing.

[aaarrrgh]

if you had to pronounce it similarly to how it is here in Scandinavia, it would have to be pronounced Big Bent, just fyi. The G is silent.

[aksel]

i stand corrected...looked so similar to lab joe...wtf two buttons at the waist band.

Yeah. No worries. They are a bit tricky :-D

You see I found a pair of really nice Lee-suspenders so I just had to hammer in some buttons to attach them in... and I like the look of it. Accually the next lab-series is going to have a chino style pant with suspender buttons, really cool (and i guess amazingly expensive). The trained Nudie-eye could also spot the lack of patch in the back and some removed seams in the fly. I like it better that way.

[SteveLeviathan]

if you had to pronounce it similarly to how it is here in Scandinavia, it would have to be pronounced Big Bent, just fyi. The G is silent.

aah right, i thought it would sound like "Big Banged" because that's what "Big Bengt" exactly sounds like when you pronounce it in Dutch, didn't know the letter G would be silent. ;-)

[aksel]

Do you work with nudie or something? You seem to be in some sort of loop that we arent...lol.

Yeah, with Nudie among other brands. I work in one of the bigger department stores in stockholm so there are a whole bunch of brand, but I mostly work with Nudie and a swedish brand Pace. I also see to it that, when I am off work, I visit the Nudie store to get the latest news as often as I can. They are a wonderful bunch of people the Nudie crew.

[aksel]

http://www.pace-wear.com/clothes.asp

[roffey]

Not really a fan of the "carrot" fit =/

[BeauIXI]

The Kaihara denim looks nice after six months.

Not sure about the fit. Reminds me of 50 year old carpentry foremen. (Who, incidentally, usually have really nicely faded jeans)

[aksel]

ohh we know about pace...nice jeans indeed...

in fact keep your eyes peeled round this forum....a friend of mine is wearing some pace pretty soon and they are gonna look sick.

ill keep u posted.

Nice. I would love to see that! Thanks.

[ms111]

This looks like it was made for big people who want to wear slim jeans.
lol, this was my first thought :D

[dwie]

What are carrot fits actually? What is the difference between a carrot fit and tapered jeans?

[znoyer7744]

What are carrot fits actually? What is the difference between a carrot fit and tapered jeans?

I think basically a carrot fit implies going from a wider top/waist into a very narrow leg as opposed to something baggy or narrow all the way through. Pretty self explanatory imo.

[JorickDD]

This sounds like the perfect jeans for me! I got quite big upper legs from the weightlifting and jeans tend to flabber around the calves.. Cant wait to try them :)

[cameland]

I still can't get over that fact that these jeans are pronounced "BIG BANG!" :lol:

[josuke]

I still can't get over that fact that these jeans are pronounced "BIG BANG!" :lol:

big BANG!! haha funny name. after that narrow BOOT, now it's BANG! :lol:

[SteveLeviathan]

I still can't get over that fact that these jeans are pronounced "BIG BANG!" :lol:

This is how it's pronounced:

if you had to pronounce it similarly to how it is here in Scandinavia, it would have to be pronounced Big Bent, just fyi. The G is silent.

[denimjunkie]

Carrot fit as also Riding trousers....giddiyap!

[cameland]

lol big BENT is almost funnier than big BANG. I can think of many things when I say "big bent" to myself hehe.

[Nudieist]

Easily the worst Nudies EVER. They look absolutely terrible. What a crap.

[nightrain]

why there is no information about this on nudie site ?

[josuke]

why there is no information about this on nudie site ?

that is exactly my thoughts.

[Jakob]

haven't seen this untill now, they look extremely ordinary?

[stephen81107]

i think they look really good...
i would get them but they look kinda like ajdh...
probably a little slimmer.
idk though.

[Danny R&H]

How can you look sexy if you look like a carrot?

[josuke]

How can you look sexy if you look like a carrot?

depends. :lol: , and i dun think the fit looks like carrot. maybe just a bit tapered.

[adam]

they are pretty awful

[NUDIESALLDAY]

they are pretty awful

!!!

[adam]

they look a lot better on mind.....

[andi1]

where you get that picture from?

[iwannudies]

Nudie Jeans AU just stocked them, and sent an email about the new arrival.

[Opeth]

They seem to have a really strong taper from the leg down. I think they look good

[andi1]

im wondering is it like a steven top with finn leg

[josuke]

im wondering is it like a steven top with finn leg

i dun think it's as tapered as finns.

[andi1]

yeah
was just based on opeths opinion how he said it have a real tape from knee down.

the guy at a store selling nudies said its more of a baggy jean

[Benzak]

looking at its backyoke (on zoovillage), i can say its not a steven top. my guess would be a joe or a sven top, with a bottom that cannot be compared to other nudie styles.

ES actually has the same top block as TF, only one size larger. if you have both jeans, just compare them and you will see..;-)

[smoedi]

They definately do NOT look like a baggy jean!

I'd love do have a fit like the Baggy Björn just with a slimmer leg-opening. Not tapered down the knee, just the leg opening smaller than on Baggy Björn. I am wearing Chucks almost always and I trample on the jean while walking out in my Baggy Björn, most of the time.

[josuke]

just tried them at nudie store in sydney, same denim as AJDH (it's BBDH) lol. the thigh is super roomy while the knee below is slim, kinda alright i guess, i like them but the retail is just too unreasonable. :-D

[nightrain]

how much are they ? $215 ?

[josuke]

$220.

[smoedi]

Slim down the knee ALWAYS sucks! But thats what I expected. Just get an oversized Joe or Steven and you will have the Big Bengt, I think...

[josuke]

the thigh is bigger than ES and leg is smaller than ES. LOL think about that!

[smoedi]

the thigh is bigger than ES and leg is smaller than ES. LOL think about that!


Like I said: Get an ES or an AJ just one or two sizes bigger than your usual size...

[josuke]

Like I said: Get an ES or an AJ just one or two sizes bigger than your usual size...

im not interested with any of it. lol im just sharing some info basically. :-D , thanks for the suggestion though. :-)

[kiya]

We're going to have this jean for sale starting Monday at Self Edge for $195, free shipping worldwide..
www.selfedge.com/shop

[andi1]

could you describe the fit to us please.
what cut is it similar to

[mtgguy777]

so they're like, extremely tapered?

[Frodrik]

The Nudie Jeans Concept Store in Oslo got these in stock last week I think.

[andi1]

[M!ch]

http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66&products_id=349

Seems like a decent cut.

[andi1]

yes, but not in dry heavy.
that denim doesn't fade nice compared to dry/ dry selvage

[BlueOctoberFan]

Yet another Nudie cut that if I bought it to fit at the waist, would be skin-tight on the theighs... Yippee...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

from the measurements on selfedge they have more room on the thighs than the most nudies :confused:

[Benzak]

the fabric looks broken twill in the pictures on selfedge.com.. can anyone confirm this or is it me?

[Opeth]

Yet another Nudie cut that if I bought it to fit at the waist, would be skin-tight on the theighs... Yippee...

Same problem here, but I think that these have even more room than the steven cut in the thigh so I might just have to go try them on.

[westend]

the fabric looks broken twill in the pictures on selfedge.com.. can anyone confirm this or is it me?

I love the look of broken twill!

[mattias]

This cut looks actually quite interesting. I've always liked the 50s denim style in old movies so hopefully it looks the same.

[Snorlax02]

lol.. its very ugly imo.. but if nudie is meant to be anti fashion then this is the right step =p
Loose thighs shouldn't taper so much.. its just wrong.. theres no way it'd compliment anyone's body..

[znoyer7744]

lol.. its very ugly imo.. but if nudie is meant to be anti fashion then this is the right step =p
Loose thighs shouldn't taper so much.. its just wrong.. theres no way it'd compliment anyone's body..

I dunno about that. They look pretty sick on the guy on self edge imo. I'd get em if I knew they'd fit me like that. I agree with Mattias. Seems like a little bit more authentic 50's fit to me.

[mastershake]

cultizm has them

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Big Bengt and the Even Steven/Average Joe?! If there is any...

[Snorlax02]

I dunno about that. They look pretty sick on the guy on self edge imo. I'd get em if I knew they'd fit me like that. I agree with Mattias. Seems like a little bit more authentic 50's fit to me.

I think it only looks good from the back. i hate teh front shot.

[andi1]

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Big Bengt and the Even Steven/Average Joe?! If there is any...

check the measurements guide on selfedge

[SteveLeviathan]

does this new fit really has selvage? it says so on the homepage here, but it's not mentioned anywhere in online shops, and you would think this pair would cost a lot more if it does have selvage.

[znoyer7744]

If you look at the cuffs on self edge, it doesn't appear to be selvedge but I'm not positive.

[znoyer7744]

Well now I don't know whether to buy the ESODs off Self Edge or Big Bengt.:confused: Maybe I'll go with the BBDH and exchange em if I hate em. Anyone noticed how big they are on the size chart? I gotta go with a 30 x 34. Damn!

[znoyer7744]

Thanks for the advice, but do you know where I can find the ESBB cheapest? Not really down for 199 USD like most stores have it for.:-(

[andi1]

does the ESBB take at least 7-8 monts to fade properly?
lil davids pretty much destroyed his in 4 months from his vacation isn't it?

[znoyer7744]

Okay, thanks. I still kind of want the ESODs. I like how some people's turned out but I dunno. Haha. Maybe we shouldn't flood this thread with ES. :oops:

[andi1]

yeah this thread is being hijacked haha.
znyoer just buy what you like, you'll feel uneasy buying something that you don't like and have to wear it.
imo the ESOD are crap too. but thats my opinion,
the dry grey ones are quite distinctive.

[bernieee]

lol.. its very ugly imo.. but if nudie is meant to be anti fashion then this is the right step =p
Loose thighs shouldn't taper so much.. its just wrong.. theres no way it'd compliment anyone's body..

i concur they are uglyyyyyy
and they arent anti fashion, since its becoming very trendy to wear carrot shaped jeans~

[Jenova]

wtf big bengt? horrible cut imo, not my style srry nudie. im very disappointed in nudie jeans' recent models(except they brought back flare glenn)and this is no exception.

[andi1]

i'll wait until there are fit pics from users to decide if it looks good or not.
not everyone is exactly fond of how the fit pics look on nudiejeans.com

[iwannudies]

Well now I don't know whether to buy the ESODs off Self Edge or Big Bengt.:confused: Maybe I'll go with the BBDH and exchange em if I hate em. Anyone noticed how big they are on the size chart? I gotta go with a 30 x 34. Damn!

Like said before, get the ESBB.


does this new fit really has selvage? it says so on the homepage here, but it's not mentioned anywhere in online shops, and you would think this pair would cost a lot more if it does have selvage.

The Big Bengt will come in selvage denim, same denim used in RRDS. The current BBDH uses the same denim as AJHD.

[znoyer7744]

Oh the dilemna. Anyone know when and where the dry selvage will drop?

[airtrackk]

1st post yay!!

got my bbdh today and i've had them on for about 10 hrs now....my first impression is good

like someone said before different cuts are made to fit different body types
the fit is perfect for me...i have big thighs (just under 14") yes thunder thighs:-D
and usually have to size way up for a decent fit.... these fit perfect around thighs and i love the taper too.....again usually the ones that fit my thighs perfect have a huge cuff

i think the carrot fit/horse riding pants statement is only applicable if you are rocking really thin thighs....hope this helps to clear the fit up a lil bit

i bought them from selfedge a few $ more than cultizm but i like selfedge cuz they are straight up good people....this is like my 4th pair of jeans from them. they got a union special and they chainstitch your jeans for free....i think that's pretty cool:-D
plus like the delivery took only 2 days

[jaopoh]

Could u please post some pics of your BB.
I have a very big thigh too and have the same problem to you.

[znoyer7744]

Please post pics!:mrgreen:

[airtrackk]

a few quick shots

put in some work today with these on....heavy lifting, moving boxes and various other chores....i can see these becoming those everyday work type jeans
they are flexible and have a fairly soft hand
polar opposite of my flat heads that literally could stand on thier own

Nudies are chainstitched anyway?

[airtrackk]

Nudies are chainstitched anyway?

my bad....i should have elaborated....i bought a pair of iron hearts that i think were 37 inseam and since they are sanforized not much of a chance of shrinking (i prefer 33-34 inseam)
so i had those hemmed....since they use the union machine after washing u still get the lil rope affect.

hey mate
what size are they

[BlueOctoberFan]

I'd venture a guess of a 38 based on the measurements in the pics.

Much appreciated.;-)

[offyatree]

anyone bought these jeans yet? i am curious how they fit on a real person!

[znoyer7744]

Only airtrack it seems.

[evenifyoudont]

you can find a pic of someone wearing these on Farinelli's blog (the dude who used to co-own Denim Bar)

http://farinellis.blogspot.com/2008/10/just-in-nudie-special-edition.html

[muthaphaqer]

looks ok to me

[znoyer7744]

Looking pretty sick on mauro imo.

[muthaphaqer]

Is it true they have the smallest leg opening compared to the other Nudies?

[Finnie]

it looks cool isn't it?
http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n459/iippee/BB.jpg

[offyatree]

it does look cool, i like the short yoke. dya guys know the measurements on this fit?

to my eyes, it looks like APC NS, no? correct me if i am wrong.

[offyatree]

put in some work today with these on....heavy lifting, moving boxes and various other chores....i can see these becoming those everyday work type jeans
they are flexible and have a fairly soft hand polar opposite of my flat heads that literally could stand on thier own

hey, what size are those? 8.5'' leg opening is my favorite. can you post your fit pic in those BBDH?


Oh the dilemna. Anyone know when and where the dry selvage will drop?

mr. dejan told me it's gonna be available on cultizm in december. so keep checking! :)

[znoyer7744]

I would say the rise might be somewhat similar to the NS and the opening I guess but the thigh is must bigger...and more room for my cheeks it seems.

[offyatree]

its seems like a perfect fit for me!

[znoyer7744]

Haha. I just dig the sudo 50's fit.

[offyatree]

hey, where's the fit pic of the guy wearing suspenders? did you delete it, iwannudies?

this nudie fit is actually pretty good its a nice relaxed fit with bottom slightly tapered i think its great for fat ppl LMAO!!

fat people dont wear jeans, they wear khaki! :lol::lol:

[BlueOctoberFan]

Fat people could never wear anything made by Nudie. I'm definitely not fat, and just knowing my measurements I can tell that those would still be almost skin-tight for me (large theighs).

[iwannudies]

I think I'm fat, but I still wear Nudies :oops: I think each person's threshold for how tight/loose they want their jeans is different.

[airtrackk]

i'm pretty big and you can probably call me fat (i prefer big boned....really big boned)and i wear nudies....i know it's against the rules and i stack....ooooh nooooo !!! did he say stack??? yes i break all the rules ann some rivets and crotch seams too

[znoyer7744]

Ha...I went from a 34/35 waist to a 31/32 waist and I still wear the same styles of Nudies. I don't think that weight plays as much of a part in it as body type does. Now if only I looked like the man in suspenders.:(

[airtrackk]

heads up to folks who are considering these....they stretch quite a bit!!!
so you may wanna size down 1 for a better fit

[zwgbenny]

I just bought my pair of Big Bengt from the Sydney nudie store. Cost AUD$220 which is cheaper than Self Edge and Cultizm if you do USD - AUD conversion (as the currency exchange drop like hell this week). Fit pretty good i must say. Slightly bigger on the waist and smaller on the leg opening as compared to Slim jim.

[offyatree]

how bad do they stretch? fit pic perhaps? thanks mate.

i'd go 1 size down.....i'd have to agree with selfedge in that there will stretch upto 1.75" after like 30-40 wears
i imagine all that always depends on how snug they fit you....for me the 38 waist (which was actually 39) fit pretty snug so i managed to stretch tehm a lot quicker.
but again i'd size down since they are sanforized

[furrys]

First post here.
Anyhow I've been wearing a pair of new standards for the past 12 months-ish. These seem to be a really similar cut, although the thigh seems a tad smaller. I ordered a pair off of selfedge yesterday I'll take pics soon as I get them. I sized down a bit so hopefully they aren't ridiculous, but I didn't want to deal with massive stretch (don't get me started on my apcs).

Lotta hate on this cut, but it seems like it'll be perfect for me (normal sized waist with big thighs/behind).

[ninjapie]

I recently got hold of a pair of heavily discounted Wrangler Tom's (not sure about the name), carrot fit.
The fit is quite similar. Though, the Nudies look better in my opinion. I might try to get my hands on a pair.

[zwgbenny]

What you guys think of the fit? Size 34/32.

[znoyer7744]

I think the fit might require a very narrow lanky body to look sick like the guy on self edge. Like no curves whatsoever. Just my opinion though.

[deviousfool]

I think the fit would be much better if you downsize 1 more

[josuke]

carrot ftw! yea i think size down 1 more if u can.

[Opeth]

Definately size down atleast 1!

[Finnie]

Agree with that mate!!

[roirio]

and also, no need to cuff 'em

[zwgbenny]

Haha thanks for the advice guys! Can't change them since i bought them :S Next time i guess haha!

[josuke]

well too bad if u already took off the tags and such. :-(

[offyatree]

the fit looks like a pair of old man's pants, size down more i think.

[superslim_zac]

Im gonna try these on next time I'm in a Nudie store - this cut I find confusing!
Don't quite know what to make of it, and I'm not sure if a skinny person could pull it off. I'll post my findings when I see a pair.

[Mr. Brinkles]

I don't like te model to be honest, they look strange. Still gonna try them on in the store when they are avalaible here though :D

[znoyer7744]

I just think we need to see some people in them before the hate continues.:-?

[andi1]

it looks like a thin finn on people that are big in stature. My friend whos got a pair, hes 6 ft 100kg. looks good on him. he sized down. so when it stretches, itll have a good nice natural slouchy look
looks quite fly with air force ones.
same with boots as well.

[znoyer7744]

I'm planning on buying a pair next week when payday comes but I don't know what size to get. I'm usually a true 32 waist but self edge says a size 30 measures 31.5 in the waist so I guess I'm gonna go with those and then if I hate em, exchange em for some ESODs.

[andi1]

in a way, they do look like ES.
just a tad baggier in thighs and a tad smaller in the hem and without the low yoke

[superslim_zac]

isn't the back yoke quite straight? Like, horizontal...?

[airtrackk]

getting the size 30 will be a good idea....in a few wears they will fit just about perfect
since they are bigger than the tagged size

[znoyer7744]

I thought the same...:confused:

[andi1]

ya it is.
has a clean standard look

[offyatree]

I think the fit might require a very narrow lanky body to look sick like the guy on self edge. Like no curves whatsoever. Just my opinion though.

i agree with ya, the fit on that guy's body looks odd, to me it looks like my father's pants. no offense, but thats what my eyes see.

[znoyer7744]

The fit on what guy? The self edge model? Looked cool imo.

[luke]

quick question, i have some HUGE thighs and i guess medium-large calves, am i better off with this or AJDH?

[andi1]

this one

[luke]

alright, thanks. i wear size 36 jeans and they're already pretty damn loose, do you think i'm good if i get 34s from this size?

[offyatree]

quick question, i have some HUGE thighs and i guess medium-large calves, am i better off with this or AJDH?

RRDS. BBDH would just make you look like round not slim.

[luke]

RRDS. BBDH would just make you look like round not slim.

RRDS is too expensive for me. And I'm gonna be buying something from Self Edge cause I can get 25% off.

[superslim_zac]

I thought this is more of a stocky mans jean.

[offyatree]

if RRDS is too pricey for you, go for RRDG, they are great too. go to www.cultizm.com

[superslim_zac]

I thought the greycasts were stopped production?

[znoyer7744]

Cultizm still has them though.

[superslim_zac]

But they have stopped?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes they have...

[furrys]

Mine came in today. I'm pretty pleased with the fit. I sized down two sizes so it's a bit tight, but not crazy. Will be wearing them as much as possible.

[superslim_zac]

pictures are a bit big mate

but I like how they look from the front. I'll let them wear in before I say much more they might sit a bit better.

edit welcome to the forum mate

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looks good and they are not too tight

[BlueOctoberFan]

Nice to see some actual pics of these finally. They look like a good fit for you too.

[Durrty Boy]

I think its a good cut for those of us who arent built like we are still in Junior High. Lumberjack steez!! l

[offyatree]

you mean, for fat people only?

[tennisINjeans]

is this pair selfedge? the on the homepage it says it is but cultism and self edge dont mention it. it looks good though

[iwannudies]

They come in Heavy Dry and Dry Selvage(same as RRDS). The one currently of Cultizm is Heavy Dry. They'll stock the Dry Selvage model later ;-)

[tennisINjeans]

sweet! i will have to keep my eyes open for the selfedge model

[offyatree]

you know so much about cultizm's stock availability, iwannudies. lollll go study for your exams!!!

[iwannudies]

Lol I only asked them about Big Bengt because you wanted the DS model!

[aaronson]

I think Big Bengt looks really cool in pictures and am considering getting a pair myself. However, when I hear about the description it makes me think of the pants that Frankenstein wears. Does anyone else feel this way too?

[FrankieP]

Hmm.. when I saw the first pic I didn't like the carrot look. I think that's more a fad with a short lifespan, and were you to put all that effort into wearing and breaking these in it'd be a shame that the jeans might be thought of by others as looking ridiculous, which I have to admit I thought of the carrot thing when they came out. :S

Now I'm on the last page though, they don't look like that at all when worn. Furry's pics are great! And they look heavyweight too, they definitely look like something else! :D

[radiothesos]

Somebody mentioned them looking like APC NS, and I 100% agree.

[andi1]

agree

look like NS/stevens.
pretty much its like the steven, without the lower yoke. thights a bit bigger and the leg opening is smaller

[TFking]

agree

look like NS/stevens.
pretty much its like the steven, without the lower yoke. thights a bit bigger and the leg opening is smaller

so they're not really like steven at all then? ahaha

[offyatree]

to me they look like GT, i dunno tho, havent seen a nice one yet, so couldn't judge.

[andi1]

so they're not really like steven at all then? ahaha

lol, no.
but in terms of the fit that looks closest to it is the steven.
compared to a high kai etc.etc.

[superslim_zac]

I honestly don't know what to say they look like!

Just look like baggy nudies?

[Durrty Boy]

you mean, for fat people only?

I mean for men who dont have thighs the size of teenaged boys. No offense. I weigh 185lbs and alot of the denim cuts out nowadays fit my waist fine but hips, thighs are ridiculously tight.

[furrys]

I have a pair of NS's too and these feel pretty much the same (and measurements are pretty comparable if I remember right0. I think my APCs felt a bit heavier, but they're selvedge and these aren't so that may explain that? I'm really loving the cut, I'm not fat by any means, but I my thighs and even my behind are thicker then your average dudes I guess.

[aaronson]

Indeed pics are decieving......looks good in some and not so good in others. I wouldn't mind trying them on though. I haven't been so happy with the carrot styles though. My thighs are not so thick.

I keep laughing at the name though. GO BIG BENGT!!!

[offyatree]

Mine came in today. I'm pretty pleased with the fit. I sized down two sizes so it's a bit tight, but not crazy. Will be wearing them as much as possible.

what size did you get?

perfect fit for me :-)

[dKwan]

i dig that fit ..

doesn't look like carrot to me ..

[furrys]

what size did you get?

they're 31/34. i could have probably sized down one more. they've already stretched out a bit (nothing major) and i've only been wearing them for 3-4 weeks. we'll see how they are when i wash them in a few months. still digging them a lot. i'm starting to see really minimal (very minimal) fading on my phone pocket and some combing, but nothing major yet. Still way faster than my APCs, they took like 4 months before they started fading noticably at all.

[offyatree]

wow, thanks for the small pictures, buddy. next time post small pictures again, please.
btw they look great on ya.

[superslim_zac]

what pictures are we talking about...?

[offyatree]

the picture above with the sin city poster, mate.

[superslim_zac]

Right. Think I missed the sarcasm? Those pictures are huge...

[Jakob]

Pics makes me want to quit my job and play Goldeneye all day long

[St0ry]

Do the thighs stretch at all? I'm usually a 35 but they only make 34 and 36 so I'm wondering if I should go up or down. Also, how would hemming affect the leg opening? Or should I just stack?

[Catchforusthefoxes]

34, stack.

[who8mahrice]

^Erm...you realize you need a longer inseam to stack, right?

[Benzak]

Pics makes me want to quit my job and play Goldeneye all day long

i have some great memories because of that game

[offyatree]

go down to 34, let them stack. stacking is wonderful for this fit, imo.

[evenifyoudont]

is big bengt only available this season? anyone know?

[offyatree]

it's obviously here, my friend. http://www.cultizm.com/product_info.php?info=p283_NUDIE-JEANS-BIG-BENGT-DRY-HEAVY---NEW-CUT-.html

[evenifyoudont]

i mean - is this a limited run like the MASA? or will this cut be around for a while?

[bilmaga]

Since it is a new cut, I would assume it will be around for a while.

The MASA was a limited edition jean that was made in Japan. They advertised it as a limited run jean, whereas whe Big Bengt is just a new fit.

[Bobbejaan]

Pics makes me want to quit my job and play Goldeneye all day long

true..

[Catchforusthefoxes]

^Erm...you realize you need a longer inseam to stack, right?
...yes?

[spacecadet1978]

I've managed to get a pair of these they arent to carrot like and size wise i can never get into any nudie 34 waist and these i can, i thing they are a great jean and cant wait till they are worn in.

[offyatree]

fit pic, space!

[Magicalpoop]

My friend works at a denim botique..he says he got in a shipment of big bengt's...none have sold for the past month :o.

The fit is okay, but I doubt many people will want to wear circa 1950's jeans. But I actually might cop a pair if they go on sale - and use them strictly as work jeans. I think it'll be rather disguisting...within a month they'll be guaranteed to be motor oil stained and etc. The fades/washes won't neccessarily be from abrasion/wear..but from the chemical effects on the cotton + I will have to wash it probably in a big tub full of tide+ degreaser agents + some generic de-oil'er stuff I use for my overalls. Damn this could be so dope...

[nudie-v2]

this new one looks great :)

and just like the others sead the look like they are made for people with a bigger body but they want to wear a skinny i think this is a wise decision from nudie the people who wants to wear him baggy can do that and people with a larger size can now also wear a skinny in a normal way :)

Well thought Nudie!

[tobz]

I'm thinking of getting either the Big Bengt or the Even Steven. My thighs are huge and my calves are medium to big. Can you suggest which one would work better? I like tighter fighting jeans, but the Average Joes I tried on where way too tight. Thanks.

[Mr. Brinkles]

Today i visited a store that just got a pre-wash BB in store. Didn't have time to try it on though so i will go back soon to look how the BB fits me.

[nudie-v2]

I didn't know there where also pre-washed of them i also live in holland in witch store did you see them ?

Jeff

[ng_tetet]

if my friend wears ajds in size 30, what size should he buy in big bengt?

[Mr. Brinkles]

I didn't know there where also pre-washed of them i also live in holland in witch store did you see them ?

Jeff

Bendorff in Den Haag has them and HIP in Dordrecht ;-)

[superslim_zac]

@ ng tetet try a 30 should be fine. if he wants it to fit much skinnier go 29.

[offyatree]

i went to lark(a local store that sells a bunch of nudie goods) and tried BBDH. i tried size 32 and 31, the 32 fit like my APC NS with slightly roomier thighs, the 31 fit like a carrot on my body. too bad it was the dry heavy, otherwise i woulda picked one if they were BBDS.

[superslim_zac]

I'm hoping they will be the contest pair so I'm holding off

[offyatree]

you interested in getting one, zack?

[superslim_zac]

yeah man I am. Gonna get into it hopefully.

[ng_tetet]

@ ng tetet try a 30 should be fine. if he wants it to fit much skinnier go 29.

thanks zac, btw offya, wassup with the dry heavy? is there something about it?
my friend is wondering now..

[superslim_zac]

The dry heavy is okay, just a very stubborn denim. Takes a while to break in. Needs some patience.

[offyatree]

thanks zac, btw offya, wassup with the dry heavy? is there something about it?
my friend is wondering now..

as i had AJDH already and it took me a lot of effort to fade their stubborn indigo, i might be interested in something else. BB seems to be an OK fit for people with big thighs and strong legs :lol::lol:.

[ng_tetet]

yes, he is fat and short with so fukin big goddamn thigh and smaller portion in knee down
so bb will be the best choice for him
he is going to singapore in a couple days and he said might want to try it on there before buying it from cultizm.

[offyatree]

thats mean man!

he flies to singapore just to try on a pair of jeans? wooootttt!!

[ng_tetet]

no man, he is going to meet up with his parents there
why you sound so surprise? lol

[offyatree]

i went to lark again and tried BBDH for the second time, i could fit in a 29,30,31,32. sick! my fave was 31 though. so yeah,i am really hoping BB will be the next contest!!

[Mr. Brinkles]

How did everey size fit in the waist? And why would you go for an 31, how is that fit compared to the 29?

[offyatree]

29 was definitely tight for me. i struggled buttoning up the last one. when i tried to sit, it was like a torture. but it definitely fit on me. i like 31 as the waist was snug and the leg opening was just the way i wanted to be. the 30 was similar to 31, but the leg opening was too narrow for my liking.

29 - looked like i was wearing long johns
30 - it felt like APC Cure on me
31 - felt like nudie GT but better ( i am really hoping they make the selvage or regular dry or whatever, but not dry heavy...)
32 - was not the best, probably like carrot.

hope that helped! :)

[ng_tetet]

for my personal taste, i think you better go for 31
i really love the fits of GT
and you mentioned that it was even better?

[superslim_zac]

I'm glad your liking it offya!

I am really looking forward to trying one on this saturday. Hoping I don't forget to.

[offyatree]

I'm glad your liking it offya!

does that mean BB is gonna be the winner for the upcoming nudie contest? 8-)8-)

[jobesjobes]

I'll hopefully give it a shot on Sunday Offya...

[brahgg]

Compared to most other nudies, how tight are the Bengts? They sound like they might be looser, but I can't really tell. So are they nut huggers or not?

[offyatree]

did you go to lark, jobesjobes? how was it? great service and collection,eh?

[dr.house]
