Pleated Trouser - Vertical Slub Denim

Pants

$142as of Sep 27, 2026. Check the current price at Naked & Famous

The verdict

Pleated denim trouser at $142 is niche; appeal hinges on fit and the vertical slub texture.

Fit

Pleats add volume and a vintage silhouette; vertical slub denim has a pronounced texture that affects the drape. Fit is likely unisex or skewed toward one gender—verify on site.

Quality

Naked & Famous denim is known for quality and character. Vertical slub is a specialty texture that wears differently than standard denim; expect texture to soften and alter with age.

Price check

$142 for specialty denim is fair pricing. Quality is there, but specialty textures command a premium that must be justified by personal preference.

Best for

Denim enthusiasts who appreciate texture variation and are comfortable with pronounced vertical patterns.

Care

Slub denim develops character with wear and age; cold wash and infrequent laundering preserve the texture.

What owners report about Naked & Famous pants

Owners report Japanese selvedge denim with reinforced stitching and custom hardware at a price reviewers repeatedly call the best value in raw denim, and many own several pairs. The jeans fade well within a year of regular wear. Recurring complaints are practical: the denim stretches out noticeably between washes, unlined pockets can get holes poked through by keys, reviewers found loose threads after a couple of months, and the indigo bleeds when wet, so early washes need care.

Strengths: Reviewers agree the Japanese selvedge fabric and construction quality are hard to match at this price, with fades developing quickly and attractively.
Watch out for: The waist stretches significantly between washes, unlined pockets wear through from keys, and the raw indigo bleeds onto skin and furniture when wet.
Sizing: Reviewers warn the brand vanity-sizes — one notes "a size 31 is really a size 33" — so measure your actual waist and factor in stretch before ordering.
