The verdict
Fit
Super Guy tapered, but the stretch blend makes it noticeably more forgiving than pure selvedge. You'll get immediate comfort with less rigidity. Size true or up half.
Quality
Adding stretch elastane compromises the raw-denim fadeability but gains everyday wearability. Typical of Naked & Famous stretch offerings—still well-constructed, just less adventurous.
Is the price fair?
At $176, same price as raw Super Guy, but you're trading the fade narrative for daily comfort. Fair if that's your priority.
Best for
Denim wearers who want the Naked & Famous quality and vibe without the initial stiffness.
Care
Treat like regular jeans. The elastane means less fading and you can wash warmer without major concern.
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.
