The verdict
Fit
Super Guy tapers progressively from hip to ankle. Runs true to size; ideal for a slim to athletic build seeking definition without extreme stacking.
Quality
Standard Naked & Famous selvedge construction. Gateway indigo is a solid, neutral dye that fades predictably. Durability is in line with the brand's consistent baseline.
Is the price fair?
At 188 USD, fairly priced for a selvedge tapered cut without gimmick or special finish. Mid-tier quality meets mid-tier pricing.
Best for
Lean-legged shoppers who want a tapered silhouette and genuine selvedge craft without paying for limited-edition premiums.
Care
Soak cold before first wear to set the indigo; wash sparingly to extend the fade arc.
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.
