Naked & Famous Denim

[thebrik]

really i didn't even size down more that what I've read to be recommended. guess i'll just have to lose some weight (not exactly a bad idea anyway) then give em another shot

[fuckcity]

gilt.com has some n & f right now. sale ends in the next day or so. sg linen blend for 69 bucks

[gringoinoki]

too small or not, that's garbage if you got rivets popping off. i already wasn't planning on buying any n&f, but that seals the deal.

[happinessknox]

buy what you like, but I've never had any problems with several pairs of naked and famous, in fact they're much better quality than the APCs I've worn. no disrespect but these jeans must have been sized pretty damn small or this certainly wouldn't have happened. without pretty substantial pressure being applied to those areas I can't imagine they'd have popped.

[thebrik]

they had some other issues too, the thread that held the fly together came undone (don't know what it's really called and i fixed it already) and the stitching on the patch looked pretty weak so i redid that as well.

It sounds like you just got a dud

i hope so, it would suck if they're all this quality.

I'd rather buy from a brand that takes pride in their craftsmanship and fabric as opposed to one that's only gimmick is they source their fabric from japan, quality or not, focusing on quantity

just my personal opinion, yes they're cheaper than most other brands.. I'll give them that.

This page cause me to have a nightmare last night that my Momo Collab's popped a rivet.

I woke up in a frenzy and ran to my closet to check them. Then sighed in relief as I realized they were still 100% awesome.

Most legitimate argument against Naked & Famous I've heard.

someone was worried about getting their heavy weight denim since they didn't have much experience and was worried about their quality..I can say I'm disappointed in the quality, at least in the elephant denim.

On the other hand my deep indigos WG have had no problems and the quality is pretty damn good. I've never owned any other denim costing more than N&F like those other japanese denim so I can't compare their quality to em.

So if you like normal weight denim I'd deff give N&F a shot.

but i believe they need to have better quality control. do they just make them and throw them in a bucket once they're done or does anyone even look at them to make sure everything is ok??

[thebrik]

the quality control isn't really the issue. The initial quality is, checking to see if everything is alright isn't really as important as making them a better quality to begin with.

[spike27z]

My e2 30% off order had to be cancelled because they didnt have the size i ordered. Sucks but maybe it was meant to be it sounds like..

[mgc232]

Measurements anyone on the Workman's Jackets???

Specifically size smalls?

not sure if you got an answer already, but here are the measurements on my size S:

shoulder to shoulder 17"

chest pit-to-pit 20"

hem also 20"

[kromophobic]

I have had 0 issues on my sized down 2 21oz BIG editions apart from the button, which they were quick to rectify by sending me a bag of 5 different buttons to choose from. No quality problems on my neps though... Looking forward to trying on some Weird Guy High's when my local retailers finally get some. Hoping they make them in more than just the two colors right now.

Dude plus rep you are a hero

I have a pair of E2's that were worn twice than I'd consider getting rid of. They're a size 28, but the length was hemmed so they might be short for most of the guys on here (I'm 5' 6")

[Noodle36]

I have the 24oz and the 21oz Beige Weft WG's (the BIG denim, just no BIG related branding). I have only had a problem with the 21oz, a stitch blew on the fly (I was doing lunges at the time mind you). The 24oz are strong as all get out. I have 4 other pairs of N&F and other than a button blowing after a few months haven't experienced a major issue. The rivet may have been casted poorly (a bad batch) or applied poorly. Both sort of point to poor craftsmanship but you can't completely right them off for a few isolated issues. I'm also quite sure that if you took them into wherever you got them the guys @ N&F would make good.

Hey guys. Looking to pick up my first pair of n&f. The slim guy canvas duck. Looking for some sizing advice. I am a 30 APC NS, 30/31 3sixteen. What should I go with for these?

I would get a 29 if I were you.

[happilyaccosted]

I would get a 29 if I were you.

I'm a 29 in N&F, 28-29 in APC NS...if you're 1-2 sizes bigger than me..

I would get a 30 for fitted, 31 for a less fitted fit.

[ac_slater]

The reason I suggested sizing down was because the ducks fit pretty loose. If he doesn't mind the looser fit then yeah 30 would be good.

[clayton]

Again, I have a pair of sz-32 3lephant 2's in WG's for sale or trade. Worn five times with an initial soak. N&F make decent quality stuff for the price (collaborations are the best but cost as much as good Japanese denim basically).

I wear a pair of 18 oz denim so much it's not worth my time to wear the N&F, but I could easily in crappy weather and frankly probably the last time I mention them or they go into the vault.

Please measure and compare to your existing jeans.

Like the APC thread, people on here get super pumped about skinny styles and nut hugging or something.

Also if you're younger, deal with it, you'll get fatter. It's called life. So what fits you now won't down the road.

PPS, I own a blanket lined N&F Workshirt and it's awesome for serious winters. I wear it with a henley in -10 no problems.

anybody got nep selvedge eve pics? curious how "hairy" these things get

[Pizza_Dough]

Elephant 2's less than 1 week of wear. Croth by the fly blew out like a maniac. looks like the thread was removed it pulled out so clean.

What do now? With all the problems ive seen on here id rather just get refunded or compensated with a different style. I dont want to have to pay to repair this and i dont think i should have to. And if i do get this fixed whats just pop out or off or apart next?

Comments please.
