The verdict
Fit
Weird Guy's spacious thigh and controlled taper stay unchanged. The stretch softens the learning curve; expect a jean that feels broken-in faster than rigid raw but still lives like selvedge.
Quality
At $186, this hits the sweet spot for approachable raw denim. Indigo/Indigo (the product name) likely refers to the weave construction or dye depth; at this tier, you're paying for Naked & Famous' execution across all variables.
Is the price fair?
Strong value. The Weird Guy with stretch is the brand's gateway raw-denim option—price-fair and fit-proven. Ideal for buyers weighing raw denim but unsure of commitment.
Best for
First-time raw-denim buyers or anyone who loves the Weird Guy fit but needs practical give for daily wear.
Care
Treat as raw selvedge but expect faster break-in due to stretch. Fading will be visible but slightly less dramatic than 100% cotton.
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.
