The verdict
Fit
Easy Guy gives ample room through hip and thigh while still tapering below the knee. This comfortable cut makes the statement-making pattern feel more wearable.
Quality
The intricate Forbidden Fruit weave is executed with consistent stitching and attention to pattern alignment across panels.
Is the price fair?
At $189, the patterned weave justifies the premium over plain indigo. Value depends on how much you'll actually wear a more distinctive denim.
Best for
Wearers wanting distinctive denim with a relaxed, practical fit suitable for daily rotation.
Care
Wash inside-out in cool water; hang dry to keep the pattern crisp and colors true.
What owners report about Naked & Famous jeans
Owners treat the line as a first stop for Japanese selvedge: reviewers report solid construction, an unusually wide rotation of fabrics from Japanese mills, and fast, high-contrast fades at prices roughly in the 130 to 230 dollar band. Recurring criticisms are vanity sizing (one reviewer measured a tagged 31 as a true 33), fabric that stretches out considerably between washes, indigo bleed when pairs are new, and occasional loose threads showing up within the first couple of months.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently say the line delivers Japanese selvedge fabric variety and strong fades at a lower price than most raw denim they compare.
- Watch out for
- Vanity sizing plus noticeable stretch between washes make first-purchase fit tricky, and new pairs bleed indigo; some owners also report loose threads early on.
- Sizing
- Sources say tagged sizes run big and the denim stretches with wear, so go by actual measurements rather than the tag; several cuts also come with very long inseams that owners plan to hem.
