I might have to pick up this next jean coming out it is the MIJ15 Hand Dyed Natural Indigo x Kakishibu Intangible Cultural Selvedge Denim. It has a hand dyed warp and weft and the fabric looks gorgeous. The price is kinda steep but alot of extra work goes into making these. https://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/en/news/2025/7/11/mij15-hand-dyed-natural-indigo-kakishibu-intangible-cultural-treasure-selvedge-denim

Ткань чертовски хороша!!! Чем-то похожа на эту. https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/13929/warp-weft-company/5

What does everyone think of the Godzilla denim from N&F? Cool touches on these, but I'm not sure if the price point is worth it. I love colored wefts in theory but not really for everyday wear--you can wear the same indigo by white jeans every day and no one notices....try fading a purple weft pair and you're the purple pants guy by day 3 lol

@Salted-Racer I've got a sweet spot for NF as they were what got me into "selvedge/raw denim", but they aren't the best quality compared to IH and I never wear them anymore. I think it's cool and they definitely have a place in the denim world and they are doing interesting stuff, by the way I tune in to their livestream every Thursday and watch all their vids on YouTube, I like the guys that work there more than I enjoy their products...
that said I will probably get a pair of elephant 14's dirty fade from them, I think only one of the Godzilla collab jeans were 19/20 oz+ which is what makes me sad because I love heavy stuff and that symbolises Godzilla for me... and they do like 1-2 heavyweight jeans per year.
-
@Jord agreed. The elephant dirty fade is looking good. They are also coming out with some Fox Fiber stuff that looks quite nice. Being Canadian, I always root for N&F but certainly not the same construction level as IH for sure.

I really like a lot of what they do, and as mentioned it seems like they have a lot of solid people working for them. For me the problem is that I keep wearing Iron Heart! Today for instance it was IGW-101B, 274-IND and IHM-27-BLK (the best jacket known to man).
I have a pair of the Elephant 11 jeans and the Elephant 11 Type III, both excellent.
Coolest part about them imo is all the interesting fabrics. The variety boggles the mind. As a big fan of black denim I've been looking at the Shinigami selvedge and the Godzilla 1954, and just might pick up one of these if I get the chance. The problem is that I have so many pairs of Iron Heart (and Samurai, Tanuki, Oni, The Strike Gold etc.) stacked up it would be a very long time until I would get to them.
Also, it's hard not to love a company that actually releases a 40oz denim. (Great that we get to see a couple pairs in the Indigo Invitational this time as well).

@pmadison95 Their made in Japan line is so awesome!
-
@mikebarhoot Those E-Honda 21oz denim jeans are nice and comfy! I have a pair of those too!
-
Hey guys! Look how the Elephant 12 in 20 oz rubs on the jacket sleeves! The fabric is herringbone. Delightful!
-
@Salted-Racer I am really like the godzilla collection. If I had to pick a pair I would go with the burning godzilla. I do however have too many pairs already of jeans so i doubt I will pick up a pair.
-
@pmadison95 yeah that one is rad! I quite like the 1954 as well..the black with white weft is so cool. I will admire them from afar as I just got back into the IH game with a bunch of purchases.
-
Picked these up, I got a soft spot for NF, the do cool shit and are outside the box… but they’re no iron heart!
Anyway these release next month, got them early as a retailer was about to sell them and then found out a few hours beforehand they had to wait until January… well I messaged the retailer and got them through an invoice.
Another cool “Jean” I’m interested in is the “fatfox” which is a 22.7oz canvas pant with fox fibre. Anyway thought I’d share
-
@Jord i never had NF jeans before hut interested! Would these heavy weight jeans get soft like IH 21oz?
-
@sonsw87 yes. my eHondas 20oz softened up pretty quickly after their 1st wash. just washed my Elephant 13s for the 1st time and though heavier, seem to be softening up though the denim is ‘courser’
-
Got this dirty elephant 20oz Type 3 as a late birthday gift from my family. It's an XL but it seems that they run pretty big compared to IH and the measurements are not very accurate. When I first got it it fitted like this:
I warm soaked and cold washed it then (no spin) and it tightened up a bit and I like the fit better now. Water was really dark after the soak. Still not really a fitted T3 but that don't work for me anyway
Fabric is really stiff and nothing like 21oz IH denim. Will wear it around the house a bit and see how it breaks in!
-
looks good!!
-
@Salted-Racer Thanks! It's a cool piece. Not as perfect made as IH but an interesting side quest.
-
@FlavourFade yeah no the lefty trucker type thing but a cool change —rock it hard brother
