Naked & Famous Denim

[mrpo0nani]

I'd say weird guys, either in a 32 or 33 depending on how snug you want the fit. You will also need them hemmed.

Ah, great thanks I was thinking the same.

Yeah, about the hem, i've been hearing something about chain stitch? I think those are only in denim specialty shops and for the life of me I cannot find some kind of tailor in my town. Is it alright to just get a regular hem?

[CMCiA]

As far as i know, most/all of naked and famous are regular hem. I would say the weird guys for you too, since you have big thighs and are into skinny fits.

Both pairs of N&Fs that I have came with a chainstitch hem. Not that getting them hemmed with a lockstitch won't be sufficient.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

[meroswarrior]

They will be eventually, right now there's virtually no indigo on the those spots. I'm also thinking I'm going get crotch rip soon because along the stitching I have the most fading. Also I'm collecting lint inbetween my stacks...

[Pizza_Dough]

Oh holy crap everyone! Barneys sale is stupid good prices!

They should go down with a soak. If you're concerned about an early soak, just rock em, and the wait will be worth it when you do.

[kromophobic]

Pizza, how much did they shrink after the soak, more specifically how much did the inseam shrink?

[Pizza_Dough]

The neps? i have no idea. sry. but they are mad long reguarless id say like a 36 inseam.

Just copped a sz32 Big John collab for $109 shipped. Almost got the reverse fades since they were on $60 but i dont think id ever really wear white jeans.

[kromophobic]

ya I have the neps, the inseam is 37", ridiculous, I've been wearing mine for about two months and they are starting to smell so I'll have to wash 'em soon.

[ayo4yayo]

Oh holy crap everyone! Barneys sale is stupid good prices!

Smh, the one day I don't check....

[lsinner]

^I'm actually going to Barneys COOP LA today will let you guys know what I see there.

Excerpt from indigoshrimp blog :P

"

Most artisan denim makers, though, meant for their jeans to be soaked before wear – the old Levi’s ‘Shrink-to-fit’ concept. Many advantages exist in soaking your jeans before you wear them, including (but not limited to): better fit, increased fabric density & strength, corrected stitch tension to fabric pull balance, removal of chemical coatings used during the manufacturing process, and removal of excess indigo (most companies tend to over-dye) so your furniture won’t be ruined. Rest assured, well-dyed Japanese denim will not suffer from excessive indigo loss – most makers actually recommend washing their denim once every month or so, to prevent bacteria & grit degradation of the denim, thus prolonging the life of the jeans (preventing crotch blow-outs, butt rips, etc).

Furthermore, what you’ll find is that vintage denim hobbyists tend to do it the old fashioned way too: shrink-to-fit (soaking or washing) before wearing them & washing them more regularly (Samurai Jeans recommends monthly wash, Sugar Cane recommends quarterly wash). In this way, you will get more authentic vintage ageing, i.e. the creases & ridges will form on the different seams, the twist in the legs will become apparent, the denim will be stronger and therefore allow longer wear, the fading will become less contrasting and more vertical, achieveing more ‘hue’, etc. This is my preferred method! I would soak before wearing even for sanforised denim, because they do shrink as well, just not as much as unsanforised denim.

i like the way you explain it man!

I copped the big johns in a sz 32 at $109 shipped. baller

Came back couple hours ago from Barneys at The Grove. I was actually disappointed at the sizes couldn't find any sizes under 30. Reverse fades were cheap!(like $69). There were Big Johns and MoMo's but sizes were way too big for petite guy like me ..

Barneys online store has 29 in the momo's and big johns still. plus free shipping. Get in there!

I take that back, checked right before I started my shift today. Guess they found an extra 33, so I got a pair of momoXnf . For $119.08 couldn't pass that.

[A.V.I]

do the neps fade similar to the deep indigo?

[mistahdabolina]

they havent been out that long i think for people to really wear the hell out of them just yet. I have a pair and its definitely a dark indigo color. I think in time they'll look great because of the neppy texture they have

[A.V.I]

so maybe fade like the broken twill ?
