The verdict
Fit
Horsehide runs noticeably stiff and snug initially. Type 2 silhouette is body-conscious; size up if transitioning from canvas jackets. Expect 6-12 months of softening.
Quality
Horsehide at $1,195 reflects genuine premium leather. Naked & Famous applies exacting construction; Type 2 proportions and hand-finished details justify the price.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing is fair for horsehide and maker reputation. This is investment-tier outerwear; cost-per-wear becomes favorable over 15+ years.
Best for
Leather aficionados and riders willing to invest in a single jacket that ages visibly and lasts a lifetime.
Care
Horsehide requires minimal intervention. Oil only when severely creased; hang in stable temperatures and allow it to develop patina naturally.
What owners report about Naked & Famous jackets & outerwear
Coverage of this jacket line comes mainly from denim-enthusiast editorial and owner fade reports rather than mass retail reviews. A year-long owner wear report on the brand's stretch denim jacket found it molded to the wearer's frame and developed strong creasing and fading through heavy touring use. Editors place the brand's jackets in the mid tier of denim jackets and note the range spans light 9 oz. fabrics up to heavy 20 oz. novelty denim, with heritage styles cut to a vintage fit that is boxier and shorter than contemporary offerings.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report a wide fabric range and denim that creases, molds, and fades distinctively with sustained wear.
- Watch out for
- Heritage-style jackets run boxy and short by modern standards, and fabric weights vary so much across the line that two jackets can wear like completely different garments.
- Sizing
- Expect vintage proportions on the heritage jackets — boxier and shorter than contemporary trucker cuts — so compare garment measurements rather than assuming your usual jacket fit.
