There’s a new kid on the denim block and it’s from Canada. Naked and Famous is Japanese raw denim and the newest denim juggernaut. They have the heaviest denim around, 26oz; the jeans can literally stand on their own. Brandon Svarc, the designer, is turning heads with his silk and cashmere addition to your normal denim fabrics. You read that right, silk and cashmere in denim. As if these jeans weren’t soft enough, they are adding the two softest fabrics in the world. Naked and Famous comes in three different fits: your standard slim, skinny and weird guy. The weird guy fit is the next evolution in denim, slim up top and skinny down below. It gives you that more slouchy fit, which is great for guys who think skinny jeans won’t fit around their thighs. I don’t think I really need to go over the other two fits.
I chose the Skinny Guy in Cashmere Stretch. It’s dark, elegant and it has 16% cashmere with elastine. Basically, you have a super soft and very comfortable jean. Yeah this comfort and softness comes at a price, $260 dollars to be exact. That may seem like a lot, but if you have read my previous rant (Cheap Rant), than you have learned the value of spending money on your denim.
The slim guy is a lot like the skinny guy just not as emo. Which means the slim runs about an inch bigger in the leg openings and the thighs. They still have a straight leg and an amazing fit. I picked The Slim Guy in Elephant Selvedge, a super super dark jean that contrasts great with the light brown leather patch, and when flipped up a really light inside leg. Unlike the last pair these are half the price at $135, but still a quality denim. These are 100% cotton. With raw denim the more you wear them the softer and more comfortable they get. If you’re feeling too old for skinnies, than level up to The Slim Guy.
The only person left at the party is The Weird Guy, and he also happens to be the new guy. This new slouch look might just be the every day guy’s answer to a straight leg jean. I chose the weirdest of The Weird Guy looks, the Frankenstein. It looks like a hybrid of dress pants and denim, just like Frankenstein. I know I trashed a pair of slouch jeans before (Trashed), but those were hideous jeans and these are amazing. These are the type of jeans guys who work out their legs a lot should be wearing; it gives them the room and the style. It’s a fact guys, girls like jeans that are fitted and show off your assets.
Naked and Famous is the new brand that I want in my closet. They keep their selection simple, 3 fits, and even the colors are raw and dark; the only way jeans should be colored. I haven’t seen them in person, but they will be the next pair of denim I purchase. Hopefully sometime soon, Naked and Famous will come out with The Straight Guy fit… I mean it only seems logical.
