Nudie Jeans Rad Rufus Dry Dusk Selvage

The Nudie Jeans Rad Rufus Dry Dusk Selvage is a high waist, regular fit jean with a straight leg, developed for those who appreciate traditional denim construction and long term wear. Built from 13 oz rigid Turkish selvage denim, this model stays close to classic workwear roots while reflecting Nudie Jeans’ long standing commitment to responsible materials and transparency.

The fabric is woven from a blend of organic cotton and recycled cotton, offering a durable yet considered base for everyday use. Dyed with pure natural indigo, the denim starts deep and dry, designed to evolve gradually through wear. Over time, creases, fades, and contrasts will develop naturally, allowing the jeans to become increasingly personal. The surface shows a gently slubby texture, paired with pronounced vertical twill lines, giving the fabric visual depth without appearing overly rough.

A defining detail of this version is the all white selvage ID, visible when cuffed. This clean selvage finish highlights the quality of the Turkish denim and reinforces the garment’s traditional construction. The rigid nature of the fabric means the jeans will feel structured initially, but will soften with use while maintaining shape and integrity.

The Rad Rufus fit sits high on the waist with a straight leg from thigh to hem. This silhouette provides balance and versatility, offering room without excess fabric and a clean fall over footwear. It works equally well worn cuffed or full length, making it adaptable across seasons and styling preferences.

Nudie Jeans has built its identity around longevity rather than disposability. Since 2007, the brand has actively promoted repair, reuse, and recycling, encouraging wearers to treat their jeans as long term companions. This philosophy aligns naturally with rigid dry denim, where aging and repair are part of the product’s intended lifecycle.

The Rad Rufus Dry Dusk Selvage is a focused expression of that approach, combining classic fit, responsible materials, and a fabric designed to tell its story over years rather than months.
