I just got a pair of Weird Guy Stretch Selvedge and was wondering if I need to do a warm soak before I wear them. What are the benefits of a warm soak, anyways? (sorry, bit of a noob here)

[SamLJack]

blomqvist: the reason people give their jeans initial soaks is because they are unsanforized, or they will shrink significantly upon the first wash or soak.  An initial soak is done because if you wear unsanforized jeans without soaking or washing them, when you wash them for the first time, they will shrink a lot, the fit will change, and the fades and creases you've created will be misaligned.  However, your jeans are sanforized, so there is no need for an initial soak.  That doesn't mean it's a bad thing to soak them, plenty of people soak all of their jeans before the wear them, as a soak will remove the starch and chemicals that many jeans are manufactured with.  In short, you don't have to soak your N&F's, but if you want to that's fine.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times and I hate to ask it, but what size should I get?

 

My actual waist is 32 1/4 in and my thighs are 21.5 in, but I manage to squeeze into size 29 511 Levi's. I need a new pair of jeans because they're all too tight now (except for one pair, thank you squats). Anyways, I've seen some people say that N&F uses vanity sizing, but where I plan to buy them a review mentioned they fit TTS. Should I size down to their vanity sizing or not?

 

If it's any help, the one pair that still fits me fits me amazing its measurements are:

 

16in back part of waist

10in rise in the front

11in at the thigh opening

6.5 leg opening

If anyone could tell me what exactly the jeans are (elephant II, etc.) that would also be a great help.

@andres

for god sake, just go to a denim store and try some pairs

because, as far as i know, even NF weirdguy for elephant 2 and deep indigo got a different measurement.

It's on my to-do list, I just wanted an idea. I was about to buy these jeans on impulse and wanted the size before I go to a store.

Ohhhh ok. Cool! Thanks for the info!

Elephant 3 @ 5 months, 3 soaks

 

[IDIOT BITCH]

The button on my 32s gave up the ghost sixteen months in, so I had to swap it out.  Rest in peace, little dude.

Well, today was my lucky day.. I went to get my everyday jeans hemmed at a local tailor. While I was waiting I took a walk to the "Fretex" shop nearby. Its a used store, were they sell everything from clothes to chairs and such. I was of course checking out the jeans, and after a little digging I found a pair of brand new Naked And Famous Elephant 2 jeans in my size with the tag still on it!! I bought them for just under 20 bucks!!

[Al6ert]

RaD, nice pickup. If you've got some pre hem pics of those 666s, post them in the IH thread with post hem evo. I always love seeing what hemming can do for a fit.

[ropeadope]

Al6ert if you meant me, Ive got the 666 25oz.. But Il be shure to post some post hem-pics

I would kill for a new pair of E2'S 

[ropeadope]

Hehe, they`re kind of hard to get hold on...

I really like the fit, not to loose, not to tight, and room in the crotch, great jeans!

It's been 3 years and about 6 washes. I haven't seen any other fade pictures of this model.

Saw a quick pic of the Elephant 4, back to 22oz. Blue with black weft.

[nutusufu]

Working on a couple of new N&F pieces. Came up on some 12oz Indigo/Indigo from Fall 2012, and breaking in the Vintage Nudes jacket.

How's the superskinnyguy fits? Looking at the Okayama spirit..

It's basically the skinny guy but with a taper. If you're looking at the Okayama spirit make sure the inseam will fit you, they ran a bit short and being unsanforized it will shrink 1-1.5" in the inseam

[Resa Christa]

N&F Elephant 4 seems really interesting, does anyone know when its gonna release?

22oz and indigo warp + weft is really tempting

It's part of their fall/winter 14' collection, at the earliest it will release in August-September. Edited January 26, 2014 by KW-BOW

Thanks for the info! Just pulled the trigger on it.

FYI it is indigo warp and BLACK weft.

[ropeadope]

I was thinking about soaking my new elephant 2s... Does anybody know if they will shrink much?

 

The fit and form is perfect now, but I like to soak my jeans before using them, to get rid of starch and stuff..

[Max Power]

I really love the blue owl Okayama collab:

 

 

 

The weft reminds me a lot of Samurai's 19 oz denim, maybe even Geisha denim (16 oz ?!)

Super interesting denim. And I am curious about the N&F 10 oz Shirts...might try them out. Does anybody know a european retailer that stocks them?

@Max Power

Glad you like it! It's my favorite N&F denim to date. It's not really a collab though. The original release had inseams which we felt were just too short. We have a great relationship with N&F so they agreed to use the remaining fabric to make special pairs with longer inseams for us. It's similar to samms and ONI because it was made on oni's loom. We ship worldwide don't be scared I swear we don't bite

[Max Power]

I see...and I will contact you.
