Nudie Jeans Fit Guide: Find Your Perfect Pair
When it comes to denim, the right fit is everything. Nudie, the pioneers in organic and sustainable denim, offer a range of cuts suited to different styles, builds and ways of living.
At Atlas Homme we see four fits stand out as essentials: Steady Eddie II, Lean Dean, Gritty Jackson, and Rad Rufus.
Steady Eddie II – The Modern Straight
If you’re after balance, Steady Eddie II is it. This cut has a regular rise and a slight taper from the knee down, giving you room to move without looking baggy. It’s relaxed in the thigh but sharp enough to wear with boots or sneakers. Think of it as the all-rounder - comfortable for everyday wear, but refined enough to carry into the evening. For men who value versatility, Steady Eddie II is the backbone of a denim wardrobe.
Rad Rufus – The Relaxed Statement
For those who want something bolder, Rad Rufus delivers a loose, relaxed fit. With a higher rise, generous thigh, and wide, straight leg, it carries the energy of ’90s skate and street culture. This cut is laid-back but confident, the kind of jean that pairs well with oversized tees, hoodies, or sneakers. Rad Rufus is for men who want comfort, attitude, and a silhouette that makes a statement.
Lean Dean – The Slim Essential
Slim without being skinny, Lean Dean is Nudie’s most popular fit. A medium rise, slim thighs, and a narrow leg opening create a clean, tailored look that works with anything from casual tees to structured jackets. It’s a modern silhouette that suits men who like their denim to sharpen up their style without going tight. If you’re looking for one pair that can handle workdays, nights out, and weekends - Lean Dean is it.
Gritty Jackson – The Timeless Straight
Gritty Jackson brings it back to denim tradition. A straight cut from hip to ankle with a mid-rise, it’s authentic, classic, and built to last. Inspired by vintage denim fits, this cut ages beautifully with wear, developing that unique character that makes raw denim so addictive. For men who appreciate simplicity, durability, and timeless style, Gritty Jackson is the ultimate choice.
