There's a new concept store called the Profile Shop in Gastown that features Naked and Famous for the next couple of months. The store currently has everything that has to do with Naked and Famous. Hit it up, if you want to try on some of their stuff. Prices are average tho. They are Dutil related.

Thinking of buying a pair of Naked and Famous jeans, but they fit big on me, the pair itself is 66$, but for an extra 20-30$ I can get it tapered and hemmed... What do you think, should I buy it and hem+taper them? It's still cheaper than its retail price.... :S

if u get it tapered and hem, it might not come out the way you want. IMO i would just buy a brand new pair with the specific style and right size. They aren't that expensive....unless u want the special denim ones where their mix with some other fabric.

66 is a really good price for a pair of N&F. People usually don't hem already raw denim since they want the stacking effect on the denim.

But if they're too big for you, I suggest you pass on them. Denim has to fit right!

I only thought about it the first few weeks I was wearing them. After that I didn't really think about it much and time just flew. I also like sitting in class with my legs crossed so that helped. Actually the hardest part are the thigh whiskers not the lap ones. Those never came to me so you'll only see very little and very light ones.

I got the Somet 008 so its 13.8oz. Still so constricting and stiff and crunchy now :D

ive had my raw nudies for a little bit over a year now, but they still look brand new in terms of colour.. theres no discolouration anywhere and only little signs of wear. I only wear them around twice a week. Should i wash them or wear them more? Do distress and fading only happen after i wash them?

If you're only wearing them 2 times a week and you're not doing anything intense in them, you're basically never going to get fades until after 4 years of wear lol. You have to try and wear em as much as possible and wear them hard for more noticeable results.

Washing your raws is just up to you. Its not rocket science people. If their dirty and grimey, wash them, if they feel fine, then you can keep on wearing them.

The 6 month rule is so vague that i dont think anyone should follow it. I mean if you wore them for 2 months and you ended spilling beer all over it, its time for a soak.

lets say you wore them twice a week, so that's 8 times every month and its been 21 months. that's 168 times, so about 5 and a half months.

that's close to the "6 months" requirement. you should wash em. take before and after pics =D

washing doesnt do anything other than lighten the color.
the lines wont necessarily show more prominently because you wash em.

i dont do a first wash until they already look pretty good. no miraculous changes happen after the wash.

Energy
09-29-2010, 08:55 AM
Don't wash them just to see fades! Like unit said it only lightens the color overall. It will look the same but lighter.

And to get any fades at all you must wear them A LOT. Everyday is good. I was so pissed at myself that I spent so much money on Rock & Republic, True Religion and those crap that after I sold them and when I got my APCs I said I'd make this one pair worth it and wore them everyday.

^No, there is no 'cheap' place to get N&F. Dutil is one of the best denim shops for N&F, I would definitely go check them out.

The only time I saw cheap N&F was at Boy's Co during their Summer Sale, and that was probably because people who shop at Boy's Co, don't look at N&F, instead, they look for R&R etc etc...

Wait out till December, that's when Dutil will have their legendary boxing day sale, and I would say it was worth the wait! :)

sorta. spills weren't really a problem. i've had mustard, beer and all sorts of stuff spilled on it, though all small areas. most of the time any stains would just disappear when it dried or in the case of mustard, crust over and then i could just rub it out. as for right time, i was holding out for the "sand and wash it in the ocean" method. but then i realized that was kind of stupid. really the deciding factor was i went backpacking in europe and had to wear it in some clubs that had no a/c. in vancouver this isn't a problem, since i'd just air it out outside the next day. when travelling the jeans just stayed balled up in my backpack. i decided i'd wash it after being grossed out at a few days of wearing them for consecutive nights w/o airing them out.

sorta. spills weren't really a problem. i've had mustard, beer and all sorts of stuff spilled on it, though all small areas. most of the time any stains would just disappear when it dried or in the case of mustard, crust over and then i could just rub it out. as for right time, i was holding out for the "sand and wash it in the ocean" method. but then i realized that was kind of stupid. really the deciding factor was i went backpacking in europe and had to wear it in some clubs that had no a/c. in vancouver this isn't a problem, since i'd just air it out outside the next day. when travelling the jeans just stayed balled up in my backpack. i decided i'd wash it after being grossed out at a few days of wearing them for consecutive nights w/o airing them out.

I had to wash mine because of stains. I spilled ketchup around the crotch area of my ironhearts. I tried wiping it off with a wet cloth but after it dried the stain turned kinda white and made it look like a jizz stain.

10-15-2010, 08:58 PM
Ive had my ironhearts for 8 months only, and I dont plan on washing them either. Ive been wearing them at clubs ect too, and in hot 30 degree+ days in summer.
I had a rice stain that turned into a "jizz" stain too, but it looks ok now.

I'm new to the whole raw denim scene, planning to buy my first pair of nudie probably either in slim jims or regular alf bootcut. My question is, how much do they stretch and what size should i size down to if I'm a size 30. TIA!

dont get bootcut... i cant believe people still wear that shit haha.

Naked & Famous > Nudies

yeah i didn't really wash my ironhearts for fuckin 3 years as well.

just air em out and they're fine. i washed mine after 3 years cuz i thought it was time. they probably wouldnt fade that much more and the pockets were getting destroyed lol.

yeah that's the thing. after 3 years, most of the fading was already done even before i washed it. i had a crotch blowout (though i did have about a 4 mo period where i was cycling almost everyday) , but that's easily repaired. the only problem i foresee now is the honeycombing is starting to lead to holes.

I know nudies are not the best jeans out there compared to NF and IronHearts as some of you guys mentioned. I'm only getting a pair because I've never own of raw denim before so i'm gonna give these a try.

Whats wrong with bootcut raw denims?

Don't do it. I had Nudies for a week before I changed my mind and bought my APCs.

And then a few months after I went for Somets because I felt that the APCs were a bit flimsy.

Get a good high quality pair that will last you so you won't have any regrets or the itch to upgrade or get something better. Invest in stuff like Skulls, Samurai, Flat Head, Iron Heart, Somet. Do some research and buy a pair that you'll love and you won't have to buy again for a loooooong time.

Wearing a pair of Naked and Famous X Loveless for ...3 weeks or so, love them. I tried on apcs and really they didn't feel better then my old pair of weird guys which resulted in me purchasing another pair. I don't know if anyone ever answered the question on sizing for N&F vs. Nudies but my nudies are size 29 and my N&F are size 30. It seems like most people don't wash even if they dropped something on themselves. I ended up having to wash my first weird guys after dropping bubble tea on them==.

you shouldn't get paranoid - just gotta try to keep it clean. if you change your underwear, it's fine. if it starts to smell, hang it outside on a damp day, or throw it in the freezer overnight (you'd be surprised how well that works).

I was sweating like no tomorrow in these things. Plus they sat on NYC Metro for a loong time lol. Im scared.

Go try them on at Holt Renfrew etc. I found the cuts to be weird for me and I much prefer Nudies to them. This is just for me though. The skinny guys you posted look really good. I tried on the skinny guy, slim guy, and weird guy at Holt. None of them really fit me perfectly and I usually wear slim jim nudies size 30.

Stiff at first, but wear them for a day or two and it'll soften up and be reallllllllly comfortable.

No taxes unless you're in California I believe.

If you shipped to Canada, then there will be duties/taxes on top of the $105.

all dudes learned how to dress and it sucks

by Mary HK Choi on October 25th, 2010

Uuuuuuuuum, OK. Am I bugging or did a whole lotta dudes in New York suddenly learn how to dress? Sure, there are still square-toed Skechers and Targus laptop carriers and suede car coats and boot-cut date rapist jeans but other than those guys, I feel like people are KILLING IT sartorially and it is the biggest, fattest, suck.

I know it’s fall. And fall is always going to be a bajillion times better than summer’s clingy tees, shrimping man toes, “personality” sunglasses and so. Much. Sebum. But I swear to Christ, whatever happened when the “Urban Woodsman” alpha rolled the Metrosexual and hugged him super tight until they made a beautiful, beautiful baby is seriously doing it for me. I maybe want to make love to this baby. I CANNOT DEAL. Men dressing too well is gross, right? I want SO BADLY to think it’s gross. On one hand I think it’s hella Niles Crane and a little murderer-y to curate a “look” but on the other, I’m seeing purrrrrrrfect slender micro-patterned ties with gingham shirts, the SICKEST olive M-65 parkas, shawl collared cardigans, chambray, twill, toggles, perfect-length Henley plackets, non-dickhead bowties, epaulets, and even slight club collars (GAH) on dudes who up until turning thirty thought it was maybe OK to wear skate shoes. I can’t believe I don’t even know what this new thing is called.

I can’t figure out how old anyone is. I can’t figure out how gay anyone is. On silent subway morning commutes there are no tells. The brogues, desert boots and quickstrike high-tops not only have me manic-fantasy-banging every well-dressed dude on the F BECAUSE IT IS ALL SO GODDAMN GOOD but the fact that so many are suddenly well shod plus the prevalence of hard-bottoms straight CRIPPLES my ability to tell how rich anyone is. And that is fucking my game up major. Aaaaaaaaaand everyone’s watch is now the old timey Timex from J.Crew for $150 so yeah, 360 IDK. Plus, also, seriously, there must have been some clandestine colloquium workshop situation where all the dudes in all the land shucked to skivvies and got sized for their perfect pair of Uniqlo jeans and nobody said “no homo,” not even one time, because, Hi, y’all all look fantastic FUCK YOU.

I recently became transfixed by a pair of jeans on a lean dude who was 6’4”. The break was such that the hem fell atop his shoe in beautiful, chiaroscuro’d, raw indigo stacks and the whole thing white-knuckled me into wanting to SMELL HIM so badly that I skooched over and did what I never do on mass transit — talk to a bedbug stranger. I decided (apropos of nothing since I have ZERO idea what dude is who right now) that he was a graphic designer or maybe a tech writer (om nom) and when I discovered he was an actor it was beyond confuselment and then when the google told me that he was engaged to marry someone SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT I was pissed. Yo, when’s the last time I DIDN’T know I was macking above my station? It’s all crazytown.

Look, I know it sounds insane but they’re all obviously in cahoots. They’re all telling each other what works for them and being constructive and honest and the result is just so much more effective/destructive than any Neil Strauss edict ever. The new negging is just dressing so damn well that you make me feel crazy insecure and overwrought about my STUPIDSTUPIDTOTALLYPLAYEDGAMBIT of the little black dress (even though it’s mondo cute and Swedish). The most middling guy will never have to tell me that my haircut works for my broad shoulders ever again because he can just wear the right fish tail parka with the absolutely correct sweater and I’ll think they’re enough out of my league that I’ll spazpanicmakeout with him on GP.

I've never gone to a shop to taper jeans before. There is a place in Lougheed Mall that I am thinking of bringing my Evisu's there to hem/taper.... Anyone have experiences with tapering or with that store specifically? I am just scared somethings going to screw up and it won't fit or something. =/

i say just buy new jeans.
yeah they probably cost you 400 dollars but that doesnt mean you should try to salvage something 5 years outdated. :blueguy::blueguy:

Yeah, maybe, but I did put it on while it was wet because I was scared that it would shrink more. Hope it doesn't stretch much more than this. I like the fit at the thighs though, didn't want something too slim.

Oh yea, if anyone is downtown, Holt was/is having a sale on their denim. I didn't have time, but I wanted to get the Naked and Famous Frankenstein Denim... At Time's it's $135.00 + tax. However, at Holt, they had it for $140 with 25% off ending today.. :( :( :(

At the stores, the people working there will usually introduce you to all the deals on their denim. If they are using the same system as last time, they will usually say, tags with yellow dot, or blue dot, or whatever color dot will have X% off. Usually they have a cheap table at the back where its just a discounted price, and if you buy 2 its cheaper etc etc.

I wish I can go take a look....Stupid exams.

Some of the Nudies and Naked and Famous are 20% off. There are some good discounts on some Edwins, and I think 35% off from earnest sewn and ksubi? I'm not too sure. Cheap Monday's are $49.99 for 1, or $89.99 for two.

As for TIMES, they have already taken out their Naked and Famous profile, so it is just random denim in there (assuming it's from Dutil's stock). They will probably have a new profile after boxing day (I am assuming). Overally, it doesn't seem to be THAT enticing....I would rather wait it out till Boxing day! :)

On Boxing day, Dutil usually has some specials for the first people who line up. Last year they had some crazy deals like free pair of Nudies or Naked and Famous jeans... I forgot. But that's for people who are willing to line up to be at least first 5 people in line or something.

As for other things, I remember they had around 20-40% off jeans like Nudies, Naked and Famous, Levis, Edwins, etc etc. Which were pretty good deals. However, most people went into the backroom, where they just had boxes according to sizes of random jeans they put in. If I remember correctly, it was REALLY cheap, I think they had the denominations where if you buy 1 its $x, if you buy 2 its $x, etc etc. All I know is that I got Rag and Bones for 28$ that retailed at around $289.99 REAL TALK I got receipt to prove it. So there are some hidden goodies in those boxes. But, those boxes mostly had Cheap Mondays....

Gotta admit though, Boxing day at Dutil is probably the best place to go look for jeans. Not a lot of people know of Dutil so the line-ups were not that bad. However........You might have to try on jeans in a tent that they set up on the street in front of the doors! I would probably hit up Dutil on Boxing Day. From what I remember, I went at around 11am - 12ish and I lined up for... 10-15 minutes? Wasn't that bad.

JordanLee
12-16-2010, 07:47 PM
It was the first 7 people in line with the smallest gift wrapped items get 50% of ANYTHING in the store. And they had it like if you cut off atleast 5-7 inches of your hair you got any pair free. I lined up with an eraser gift wrapped on Boxing Day and got 50% off APC New Standards. So win. But then again I got there at like 4 when they opened at like 1030 or 11. Overkill.

yeah they do, i don't think they have any pretreated nudies. they don't have many fits though, or many colours. pretty much only the average joe in the dark indigo with the bronze stitch, lots of sizes though. i found a few black pairs in the mix (not many), with black stitch. didn't bother looking at the fit since i don't like black nudies

also, in the smaller sizes they even had some selvage nudies hidden in the mixes. only came in one fit though (regular alf or average joe, one of the two but don't remember which) and wasn't really a fan of the colour

Well, they had all kind of random jeans... I saw some Nudies, some G-Star, some Naked and Famous (that's what I actually tried to look for so I didn't see any other brands). Most were priced along that range. I think the Nudies I saw were around 139 or something. Everything is marked down. I saw my Frankensteins in my size and I immediately went ":fuckyea:".

hey G were there alot of sizes left for frankensteins? Whens does the sale at HR end?

I think I grabbed the last Frankensteins they had. I didn't really see any other ones. But for Naked and Famous, they had some Flannel, Cashmere (I think the cashmere stretch ones were around 130$? Not entirely sure), and they had a bunch of random N&F. At least 1 or 2 jeans per size probably?

I don't know when the sale at HR ends... But it was for boxing day so I would imagine for a couple more days? Again, not sure :P

thinking of buying a pair of N&F slim guys, either broken twill or natural indigo. i'm unsure of how to size their jeans. i'm a size 30 with levis and i read that with N&F, you should size down ~2 sizes. so should i be looking for size 28s?

i also read that the jeans will stretch out a couple sizes after wearing it a couple times, but will shrink back to its original size. once washed/soaked. is this true?

should i still be lookin for 28s?

Not familiar with N&F but from what I've heard most people go down 2 sizes because they stretch out quite a lot. I think all N&F's are all sanforized so don't soak them.

honestly you can still go ahead and soak them even if they are sanforized. they can still shrink.. and you can remove starch or whatever it is thats there since you're planning to wear it for 6 months (or until you feel like they're too disgusting to wear).. there is no harm in soaking them.

Would you happen to know how to shrink Evisus? I have a pair that's kinda ruined haha. I tried to wear them in the tub and soak in hot water and followed that by dumping them in the drier on high temperature and tumble dried. That didn't do much to the size but I lost some indigo. They're size 32.

bought my first N & F but noticed everything else was great but the crotch area is uncomfy comparing to other jeans

APC and N&F are on par in terms of quality, however for cut i think APC has slightly a better cut, they fit nicer.

new cures are slimmmer and more tapered while new standards are more of a straight slim. I like the fit on new cures better
