The verdict
Fit
Easy Guy has a roomy thigh and seat, tapering at the calf. Hickory stripe (warp stripes) is a bold pattern; expect a less neutral aesthetic than indigo.
Quality
Hickory-stripe selvedge is durable; the textured weave is slightly less compact than plain indigo but equally lasting.
Is the price fair?
At $202, fairly priced for a selvedge variant with pattern interest and a roomy fit.
Best for
Denim buyers wanting a distinctive, vintage-inspired look without the slim cuts that dominate the market.
Care
Hickory stripe shows dirt and fading differently than indigo; wash cold to preserve stripe contrast.
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.
