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
