We are reintroducing the Flare Glenn fit. Born in 2001, Glenn is one of the very first designs created by Maria Levin for Nudie Jeans. Back then, it was a progressive fit that became an icon, instrumental in creating the unique Nudie Jeans aesthetic. Now, 24 years later, Glenn remains just as relevant for both its fit and the brand's identity. We are thrilled to bring Glenn back in limited numbers.

Glenn's reintroduction comes with a story—a denim genes kind of story. Hannes Levin, son of founders Maria and Joakim, and a stand-up guy who regularly lends a helping hand, once strolled in wearing a pair of worn-in Flare Glenn's. Those Glenn's blew our minds—literally, we stood there in silence, all thinking the same thing: these are a piece of Nudie Jeans history, showcasing exactly why we do what we do. Hannes, sensing our awe, likely broke the somewhat odd silence with a humble "What's up?" and, well, he had to part with his jeans for a while.
Fast forward, and we're reintroducing Flare Glenn while also recreating the look of Hannes' jeans—named "Streaky Worn." These feature defined vertical slubbiness and a distinct crosshatch texture. The denim's hue leans towards a greenish-blue, while the abrasions tell their own story with a warmly dusty charm.
Hannes (and Maria and Joakim), we owe you big time for not just the style, but for the Nudie Jeans legacy.
