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

elephant 13s & year of the monkey vans today

@Jord I almost pulled the trigger on those too, but couldn't get over how shitty the selvedge line looks. I knew every time I picked them up to wear them I would just go to my Samurais or PBJs instead. I did just get their Indigo Sugiaya pants this week, which are great.
The texture is cool on the MIJs though!
-
@blue2gnt Yeah they do weird stuff with their selvedge ID's, I feel ya, luckily these will be going to get hemmed soon as I don't normally cuff. They are super nice though for the price and 19oz, I only buy their elephants/MIJ stuff.
I actually posted on this thread awhile back that I always go back to my IH, after seeing your recent post about joining the IH army I think you'll feel the same soon enough, IH is just the best
-
@Jord 100%. I bought something like 12 or 13 pairs of jeans when i was in Japan in December and since I got home with them I've worn non-IH for a total of 4 days. Two days on some Oni's and two days (including today) on a pair of Samurai's
-
@Jord the texture is awesome on them. I ordered a pair too but mone are in the mail still.
