The verdict
Fit
Max fit is roomy through hip and thigh, straight to knee. Black Cashmere suggests elastane blend; expect true-to-size fit with gentle give and soft hand feel out of the box.
Quality
Comfort-blend black denim, not raw. Mid-tier construction; no distinctive fading or collector appeal, but solid seams and hardware.
Is the price fair?
At $139.20 (marked down), fair value for a relaxed comfort blend. Full price would be unremarkable; at sale, it's reasonable.
Best for
A woman seeking an everyday black denim in a relaxed fit that doesn't require indigo care or months of break-in.
Care
Wash with similar darks; the blend handles warmer water and occasional tumble drying without significant degradation.
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.
