Naked & Famous Denim

[LckyChrmsBBoy]

Nice fit, but I think it would look better with a thicker belt. All I see are huge thighs then this tiny little belt.

[knucks]

haha yeah been meaning to pickup a new belt but haven't wanted to spend the money. got a black belt i wear sometimes thats 1.5" so that works

[TooAwesome]

glow in the dark weird guys

~5 months old, ~2.5 months wear

(taken on a go pro so excuse some distortion)

lol nice string belt (Y)

and its not really 5 months 'old' if theres only 2.5 months wear right? or else you would include all the time it was being processed and being at the store

we need to see pics of them GLOWING!!!!!!

anyone pick up the Greencast? do they just have a slight tint of green or is really noticeable? If I get another pair of N&F I was thinking broken twill indigos or maybe those if they don't look too green.

Need a pair that'll fade nicely with my limited active lifestyle

[Xstan]

That 32oz must have list.

i have owned them for 5 months but theyre in rotation with some apc ns so they are each at about 2.5 months of wear

[fatKARLOS]

should have took a picture in the dark..lol

i've posted one picture of them in the dark earlier in this thread but im gonna try and take a nice one someday

i think he means there should be a list of the people who bought the 32oz

[shinobi2000]

Here ya go:

I think I ordered these last summer when they were first announced but there was a long and tumultuous process of getting the leather label on etc...i lost track of all the final touches they were putting on it.

I have a couple of N&F pieces in both the Weird Guy and Skinny Guy so I know to order a size 30 in the Weird Guy fit. Surprisingly the 30s seen here were impossibly tight on me. They fit more like the Skinny Guys and with this being unsanforized, I didn't want to take a chance with them shrinking too much so I asked Blue Owl to switch. Thankfully the switch only took a few days! Thanks Jay!

Look how crazy thick the leather patch is!

And the fit:

Denim is very smooth, not slubby, and super thick. It feels like putting on armor. So far no cuts and bruises from this like I had with the 24oz Sammies but the back pockets do dig at the back of my thighs.

[shinobi2000]

Oh and forgot to make this point:

for all the talk about its zany "impracticality", it proved quite useful today as 30-degree weather finally reached NYC and I found myself nice and toasty in them without long johns.

[vitasoy]

is that soaked already? they still look a bit tight imo

[shinobi2000]

No, I want to stretch them out a bit first before soaking. From the around the thighs down they are still snug but these are considerably looser than the 30s. For example, I can fit my whole hand into my waist now.

[adrianghaust]

Holy cow, the leather patch is really sweet.

[kslo]

hows the construction on them? i wonder if theyll have the same problem as the e2's? should be interesting to see how they age though

[lsinner]

Beautiful fit on you. +rep

[Xstan]

List?

I mean, got to have this in the my wtb list.

shinobi2000, congrats on the purchase and fits look good on you.

Is it heavier and thick than your 24oz sam ?

[kit99bar]

Shinobi, excellent fit. Can you post measurements of the 30? I keep checking Blue Owl for their measurements too

[yannickl]

i want to buy some grey weird guys but am unsure of sizing...

can anybody help me out? I wear a 31 in apc ps...

do i size down on these things? or mayabe someone has a pair of apc ps and weird guys and can shed some light on their respective sizes?

In apc ps i am wearing size 29, my waist is 31. they fit me perfect, not to tight or loose. In weird guys it really depends on the fabric, in my japan heritages i'm a 29 but i once had a pair of indigos in a 30 and they fitted very well too. Personally i recommend sizing down 2 only in fabrics which are known for stretching more than regular indigos. But it really depends on the fit you want.

[shinobi2000]

Thanks guys. To answer a few posts:

The construction seems good but I have nothing to compare it to because these are quite unique! I know they had some issues getting the patch on so only time will tell how the stitches hold up.

They are absurdly heavier than the pairs of 24oz denim I have. They are noticeably thicker and more rigid.

Sorry but I sent the 30s back so I can't measure them.

[al3xanderr]

My japan heritages so far. Bought them when they came out in July but only started wearing them in October. Just a quick pic off my iphone and decided to post since no one's been posting any other japan heritage progress. Not much going on with about 4 months of wear.

I can't imagine they'd have the same problems. The 32oz's are made in a completely different factory...they're actually made in Japan.

I know my Elephant 2's are a little...ah...well, the fabric on the fly just below the waistband came undone the first day I had them. Doesn't really matter to me, as it isn't a visible flaw when I'm wearing them. They could have certainly been built a bit better, but that would have likely meant a higher price.

I got my hemp blend skinny guys in today. First impressions are good. They're a little more itchy than my other skinny guys. They're speckled with little brown and white neps. I love the brown/tan contrast thread and the green selvedge. I have a feeling that these will age very well. Really dig 'em.

the ele2's are so nice and warm in the cold weather..

selling a bnwt sz 32 ele2 wg btw. pm me..

There must be severe chaffing on those bad boys

[shinobi2000]

My 24oz Samurai 5000s and my 19oz 710s, both scraped me in the back of the knees (actual blood!). My 24oz PBJs were actually kind to me and didn't chafe. These 32 oz jeans dig into my back thigh right below my butt. It's from the thickness of the back pockets creating a rigid section that eases up right at the thigh so that area gets the most chafing. We'll see if they draw blood or not

[ac_slater]

IN 50 years people are going to look back at this and wonder what the fuck we were thinking

[knucks]

^i agree.

those 32oz look way too tight mang.

You gotta post lots of pics man!

I really, really, wanna cop a pair (as I'm quite the stoner ) but the skinny guy is just so damn skinny....

Still might go for it (green selvedge is too good to pass up) so post some pics man!

Here's some pics of the Hemp Selvedge:

Honestly, I'm not really great at taking photos. Did my best .

I like to size my skinny guys a little bigger than my weird guys and slim guys. I'm usually a 33 in those two cuts, but on skinny guys I go up a size. The result is a super-slim cut that isn't tight. I like it a lot.
