The verdict
Fit
Weird Guy is Naked & Famous's most generous cut—relaxed through hip and thigh, tapered at ankle. Power-stretch elastane adds comfort. Size true or up half.
Quality
Power stretch softens the rigidity of black denim. You're trading raw-denim narratives for immediate wearability. Construction is solid throughout.
Is the price fair?
At $167, reasonably priced for a power-stretch offering in a niche silhouette. Not a bargain, not premium.
Best for
Shoppers wanting a roomy, vintage-vibe black denim without the raw-denim commitment.
Care
Wash inside-out; black will bleed initially. Power-stretch means less fading, warmer water is fine.
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.
