Naked & Famous

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.
-
Sleep fades anyone? I love their April Fools stuff... Although they actually are selling them...

My first Naked and Famous thing is oddly not clothes
-
I wish I could find the right fit in this brand … it’s been fun trying
I love the idea of stretch selvedge though, so today I purchased my first pair of Kato.
Sorry, didn’t mean to rain on anyone parade … as N&F really do some unique stuff for sure!

@Brandrea This is me the couple times I've tried on pairs from them. I haven't given up though! Very cool Canadian company. I love my new cups and the stickers they sent with them are so over the top great! Especially the Japanese one!!
What I'm told is the Japanese made milk glass cups were inspired by Bahzad's (from Wonder Looper) obsession with them. When I saw them drinking from them in one of their live-streams, I remembered similar ones I drank from as a kid. Instant purchase!@motojobobo I'll check those out! There's a store in my city thats having a 1 off sale soon. Everything N&F is $100. In any case, I'm glad i have my mugs and those stickers for now.
-
I agree, add ONI 246 neat straight to that list for similar fit.
-
Shitty photo but they sent me this massive 60inch N&F selvedge denim banner from a competion on their livestream, it’s in my man cave.
-
My latest pair from N&F are the Weird Guy (indigo stretch). My wife likes them on me, and they definitely feel ok. I guess I’m looking for something more like the IH 634 cut but with stretch.
I landed on these … as the measurements are almost exactly the same

@Chibs Looks like a bargain
. Good luck!
