Naked & Famous

On this same trip, in the same store I found a sweater for me lady.

Nice tag… It's like a little mini history lesson.. It reads:
The fabric you see here, is knit on old machines called Tsuri (suspended) Cirular Knitting Machines. These machines were used in the 1800s in Europe to make fine knit fabric, but in 1910 were abandoned due to their slow productivity. The Japanese knitters were happy to grab up the last few existing machines and imported them to Wakayama, Japan. There is an estimated mere 100 of these machines still in opereation in Wakayama today! It takes approx 1 hour to make just one meter of fabric on these machines, and because of it's slow and hanging opereation, and it's specialty rare german needles, no undue tension is placed on the yarn while knitting. Because there is far less tension, the Japanese say it's almost as if they knit "air" into the fabric!

real nice sweater.  so is that supposed to be loopwheeled, but they just call it something else?

never the less, it's a good look & a great score for the lady

loopwheel is beautiful when used in the right way. [eg there is more than a few extremely poor selvedge denim loomed on vintage machine on the market] and loopwheel machines is really not as rare as everyone make them out to be. It's not as rare as vintage shuttle looms.

That said I paid $5.00 for a sweater with a $59.00 inked price mark under the sale price tag. Oh and the neat story on the tag.. As I've said before N&F brings some neat items to the market at great prices.. "Neat" not IH… *Also N&F have started a casual dress shirt line totaly made in Canada. Totaly local production wins hearts..

[jimmy]

It surprises me how low their prices are which suggest to me something had to give. I do like how they are made in Canada.

belts are very poorly made. the natural belt i have is coming apart and it hasn't even been a month of straight wear. was really expecting more out of them. oh well…

Deftoned:
I hope you'd send an email to their website asking if they have a repairs department… If no ask for a return authorization number to send it back.

Don't stand for crap!

[Seul]

It's N&F… Should've known better in the first place... Repeating myself on page 5...

i bought the belt half price through one of their retailers. i have emailed them about the belt so they do indeed know. but whats really there to fix? the belt is just made of poor quality materials.

[pookguy]

I have the same belt and haven't worn it much.  Good to know.

[Jsticklee]

Well you can all say you told me so… As I've said I'm selling a pair on eBay.. I've had my second good look and I don't think I can see me in these jeans.. I like regular straight cut. 

[lowk]

Don't really like their jeans but they have some nice shirts coming out soon

[Jsticklee]

Thanks for the pics lowk…. Are these the ones all made in Canada? I like the idea.. The fit seemed very slim... Again not my style, but I love the Canadiana...

[Lucifer]

Is unbranded tapered fit and the weird guy fit the same?

[Lucifer]

Just got a pair of 22oz weird guys. They are stiff, and tight. Have to work my way into these the first few weeks I suspect..
