The verdict
Fit
Super Guy tapered. The stretch elastane adds flexibility so it's less punishing on initial wear than pure raw. Size true or up half for comfort.
Quality
Deep indigo vat dye plus elastane stretch. You get meaningful color hold and fade potential without the week-long break-in. Solid Naked & Famous construction throughout.
Is the price fair?
At $186, mid-range pricing that reflects both the deep indigo and the stretch premium. Fair value if comfort and color-depth matter equally.
Best for
Denim enthusiasts who want the indigo fading story but won't tolerate raw-denim initial stiffness.
Care
Wash cold and infrequently. Deep indigo will bleed initially; keep away from light fabrics.
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.
