The verdict
Fit
The Easy Guy cut is a straight-leg with a relaxed thigh and tapered calf, typical of the brand's approachable silhouettes. Expect true-to-size in the waist with room through the seat.
Quality
Naked & Famous reputation in selvedge denim is earned through deliberate construction. At $193, this sits in the mid-premium tier for raw denim—you're paying for a known fit, selvedge edging, and expected longevity if cared for.
Is the price fair?
Fair for the tier. The Easy Guy is the brand's most accessible fit; solid black lowers the fading variance that makes raw denim feel like a project. Typical of what $180–$200 denim should deliver.
Best for
Anyone wanting a dependable black jean with recognizable quality, especially if raw or stretch selvedges feel intimidating.
Care
Wash sparingly in cold water; black selvedge fades over time. A long first-wear period before washing locks the dye.
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.
