Naked & Famous Denim

I went size 30, TTS as I have large hockey thighs. Waist wise, I easily could have gone down one or two as is typical, but I would have cut off circulation in my thighs. I've kept the waist from stretching out too much with a belt, and I'm pretty happy with the fit right now. I'll throw up a fit pic later today.

Thanks! Okay so the waist does stretch after wear? My true waist size is around 30.5 and I have a size 29 e2 WG, and I'm not sure if I should keep them or go TTS with a size 30 because when I first tried them on, I could barely get to the top button without feeling discomfort/constriction around my waist. Everywhere else fits fine, though. Any suggestions?

Keep em for sure, if you could get them all the way buttoned up right away, it'll definitely loosen up enough. My waist hasn't stretched much since it didn't have to, and I wear a belt, but even so its definitely gotten a little looser.

theyll stretch if you sit or bend over even with a belt on

Thanks for the help. Will definitely post some evolution pics after I start wearing them.

Anybody have any pics of faded pair of the dirty fade more?

I've just worn it about 20 days , lol ( :()

if you haven't seen them, I have some progress pics on the previous page.

Just brought the pair to the tailor to get the crotch patched and the waist taken in a little and after I get them back I anticipate wearing them a lot more (somehow my love for indigo blue has been rekindled)

Here's the requested fit pics of my ele2s. Sorry they're kind of trippy, I balanced my camera on a camping chair and used the self timer. Gotta get a tripod.

As seen in the G&M thread, because why not kill two birds with one stone?

Nice fit. Plus rep. Can't wait to start breaking into my e2s as well.

Thanks man. You're gonna love these jeans, the denim is pretty unique and cool to watch evo. Mine are about as comfortable as sweats at this point too, so you can look forward to that. One of the most underrated best parts of heavyweight denim is how soft and comfy it gets.

Last weekend I had a few of my favorite things. Crawfish, a huge thunder storm, moonshine cherries,

Naked and Famous denim, then barking spiders.

Here is what I have learned about raw denim through reading many articles from many diverse sites.


 


1. All cotton will shrink. Unsanforized more than sanforized. Washing in a machine shrinks more than soaking. Hot soaking will shrink more than cold water soaking and keep more indigo on your jeans.


 


I always soak my new denim sanforized or not. The temperature depends on how the jeans fit me. If they are loose I soak in hot water, if they fit correctly I use cold water. This approach helps keep the creases in the same place when I eventually wash them.


 


2. After I soak my new denim I let them drip dry in the sun, but I don't let them dry completely. When they get to a slightly damp stage I put them on. This lets them stretch out in the right places, and when they dry on your body the creases set in tight. I find this is a better alternative to siting in a tub with my jeans on. Wearing soaking wet jeans around the house is not very fun. One last thing, soaking new denim for more that 20 minutes is a waste of time, because the cotton gets saturated in 20 minutes. If you go longer than 20 minutes you're just losing indigo.


 


3. The heavier the denim, the less they stretch out over time.


 


4. This is a quick way to get your stacks to set. With your jeans on take a garden hose and spray the bottom of your denim. It does not have to be super soaked, just wet works fine. After you get them wet put on shoes that you don't mind getting indigo dye on. Next, just slightly push them down and wear them, gravity will do the rest.


 


5. I feel that the more your jeans flex and stretch the better your fades will progress. For this reason I would never use starch on my jeans. If you think about it, starch stiffens your denim and keeps it from flexing and moving. Some believe that starch is to abrasive and will shorten the life of your prized purchase.


 


Well, that's what I do. 


 


Cheers.

About two months ago I got the 10 oz denim, and I'm having trouble with stacking/cuffs. It feels like the denim is too light to stack properly and when I don't cuff them one leg (from knee down) looks bigger than the other. So should I just cuff them or try and let the stacks even out on their own?

Hey boys and girls, I was the first runner up in N&F's first contest with their indigo/indigo slubby Weird Guys. Figured I'd post an update, it's been two years I think and these have still been getting almost daily wear.
