The verdict
Fit
Workforce selvedge runs at standard chore-coat proportions: loose, straight-cut, true to size. Selvedge denim may feel slightly stiffer initially than sanforized.
Quality
Workforce is Naked & Famous' signature durable denim. At $250, the selvedge designation and construction rigor justify the mid-tier price for a piece built to last.
Is the price fair?
Fair value for a selvedge chore coat from a denim-maker. This sits at the high end of mid-tier, pricing in craft and longevity.
Best for
Workwear purists and denim enthusiasts who want visible selvage and layering functionality in one piece.
Care
Selvedge denim benefits from rare washing. Wear hard, wash cold inside-out when soiled, and hang-dry to preserve the character.
What owners report about Naked & Famous jackets & outerwear
Coverage of this jacket line comes mainly from denim-enthusiast editorial and owner fade reports rather than mass retail reviews. A year-long owner wear report on the brand's stretch denim jacket found it molded to the wearer's frame and developed strong creasing and fading through heavy touring use. Editors place the brand's jackets in the mid tier of denim jackets and note the range spans light 9 oz. fabrics up to heavy 20 oz. novelty denim, with heritage styles cut to a vintage fit that is boxier and shorter than contemporary offerings.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report a wide fabric range and denim that creases, molds, and fades distinctively with sustained wear.
- Watch out for
- Heritage-style jackets run boxy and short by modern standards, and fabric weights vary so much across the line that two jackets can wear like completely different garments.
- Sizing
- Expect vintage proportions on the heritage jackets — boxier and shorter than contemporary trucker cuts — so compare garment measurements rather than assuming your usual jacket fit.
