12oz Catechu Selvedge - Weird Guy

Naked & Famous - 12oz Catechu Selvedge - Weird Guy

By now you know we're suckers for brown weft selvedge, but have we ever told you why? We think the earth tone colors work better on a denim you're going to cuff than that of bleached white cotton. It's less contrast overall. It's simple but extremely aesthetically pleasing to us. The Catechu Selvedge is a 12oz Japanese Selvedge Denim dyed using a natural tree-based Catechu dye on the interior weft. Wood from the Acacia tree is boiled, evaporated, and the remanence are used to produce the Catechu dye. This dye produces a warm earth tone which can be seen peeking through the twill lines of this rope dyed indigo denim. The more we look, the more we see green in this piece. It's a beautiful blend of olive and brown. Flip up the cuff to fully reveal the interior color. The indigo warp is woven using a short slub cotton yarn which gives the denim more character and will emphasize vertical fading. The short slub pattern has become one of, if not the most popular weave Naked & Famous uses. The Catechu Selvedge is crisp and rigid with that classic raw denim feel.

Fit Notes:  Andy is wearing a size 30 in the pictures. This is his classic cut in the Weird Guy, and his preferred fit overall. They have a nice amount of room in the leg without too much taper to the ankle. Shop owner Tommy is our standard fit reference and wears a size 30 in these. Tommy is 5'10", 162lbs with a 32-33" waist. 

*The Weird Guy is a standard tapered fit with a medium rise, a comfortable top block, and a taper from knee to hem.*
