The verdict
Fit
Super Guy's moderate taper bridges between easy and slim. The tapered leg keeps the Forbidden Fruit pattern visually interesting without extreme slimming.
Quality
Pattern integrity and stitching are consistent with the brand's craft standards across all cuts.
Is the price fair?
At $189, the pattern and construction justify the price. Best value in the Forbidden Fruit range if you want a balanced fit.
Best for
Buyers seeking an artistic, patterned denim in a cut that feels practical for regular wear.
Care
Wash inside-out in cool water; hang dry to maintain pattern clarity and color saturation.
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.
