In the wild and wacky world of denim, Naked & Famous’s Spring/Summer 2024 drop is like the denim equivalent of discovering a double rainbow.
But today I’m going to focus in on one pair in particular: the Naked & Famous Broken Twill Slub Stretch Selvedge. What a mouthful.
Broken Twill Slub Stretch Selvedge
The Broken Twill Slub Stretch Selvedge denim isn’t just another pair of jeans; it’s like the Swiss Army knife of denim, blending old-school charm with some fresh, snazzy tweaks.
As a die-hard fan of both heritage boots and top-tier denim, I’m here to tell you why these jeans are not just cool, but cooler-than-the-other-side-of-the-pillow cool, especially if you geek out over denim details like I do.
Imagine a fabric that’s the love child of comfort and fashion, weighing in at a relatively light 12.5oz of Japanese Stretch Selvedge Denim (light by denim enthusiast standards—it’s actually kinda heavy for the average American jean-wearer).
The broken twill weave is a game-changer, marrying left and right-hand twill denim to kick that annoying leg twist to the curb, all while sporting a unique texture that fades with beautiful vertical lines.
The irregular slub yarns in this denim are kind of like the denim world’s version of freckles, absorbing dye in a beautifully haphazard way that ensures your jeans will age as gracefully as a fine wine, with the thicker yarns soaking up more indigo for an epic fade show over time.
And the 2% stretch is all on the weft (inside) yarn, so you’re not going to sacrifice any fade-potential on the warp (or outside—which is 100% cotton).
The use of stretch yarns will definitely help these jeans keep their shape, battling the saggy-butt syndrome. Despite feeling like a crisp hundred-dollar bill at first, they should break in pretty quickly.
True to Naked & Famous fashion, every inch of these jeans screams attention to detail, from the redline selvedge ID that’s like a secret denim handshake to the dark brown leather patch and classic button fly that add a dash of “heck yes” to the mix.
Silver metallic hardware is the cherry on top, giving your rugged denim that sparkle of sophistication. Crafted in Canada with an obsessive level of care, these jeans are a nod to Naked & Famous’s dedication to not just making jeans, but making denim masterpieces.
The broken twill weave is a game-changer, marrying left and right-hand twill denim to kick that annoying leg twist to the curb, all while sporting a unique texture that fades with beautiful vertical lines.
The slub gives your jeans personality, the broken twill weave brings the innovation, and the stretch ensures you won’t have to do the awkward jeans dance just to sit down.
