The verdict
Fit
High-rise Skinny with a controlled leg opening. Power Stretch is generous; expect quick break-in and a jean that molds to your body within a day. True to size in waist.
Quality
At $100.20 (sale), this is budget-friendly basics. Power Stretch prioritizes wearability. The high rise adds a silhouette option within the brand's budget line.
Is the price fair?
Fair at sale price. This is consumer denim—functional, not collectible. The high rise is the design element that differentiates it from standard Skinny.
Best for
Shoppers seeking a high-rise black jean for everyday wear without investing in premium denim.
Care
Standard modern denim; regular washing poses no risks.
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.
