The verdict
Fit
The Wide Wild West is a straight-leg fit typical of the brand's classic offerings. Expect a relaxed rise and standard inseam; this will stretch slightly with wear.
Quality
Naked & Famous is known for raw, cone-dyed selvedge denim with intentional texture. At $141, this vertical slub piece suggests quality construction but with simpler finishing than their premium lines.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier pricing justified by the brand's raw-denim credentials. You're paying for controlled texture and denim knowledge, not premium finishing.
Best for
Denim enthusiasts who want raw fabric character without the premium price of their higher-tier offerings.
Care
Soak cold and air-dry to preserve color; expect significant indigo crocking in the first six months.
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.
