James Dant x Naked & Famous - Slub Monster Selvedge - Weird Guy
**These are limited to 50 pairs total.**
This is one of those moments where you realize just how far your business has come. From the moment of brand inception to working with one of your favorite brands, Naked & Famous. This project was a labor of love inspired by our need for slubby denim. That's where we started. We knew it had to be textured. Lucky for us we landed on a 14.5oz slubby denim from Japan. This denim is iconically Japanese. We're not talking the most technical denim out there. There's not some crazy color weft or four different types of weaves. This is the stuff denim heads freaked out over before the renaissance of raw. This is as traditionally Japanese denim as you can get. And, it packs a punch at 14.5oz without going overboard.
Next, we focused on the details. As we developed the story of the slub monster, a bumpy, suction-cupped creature of the deep, we wanted to have him protecting something. The "golden loom" meant to create the perfect traditional Japanese Denim. That golden story spilled over into the stitches. The inseam stitch and hem on the denim are uniquely golden from the more traditional copper thread you'll notice throughout. We believe these subtle pops will only be noticeable to those truly looking. We went with copper rivets and buttons except for the top. That button is black to match the pocket flasher. You'll notice yellow pocket bags to really drive home the golden shuttle loom story! We also got the opportunity to add our logo to a veg tan patch with our humble partner's logo in the corner. The gargoyle will really stand out when worn as we only sewed it on two sides. This will allow you to slide your belt behind it giving it even more opportunity to pick up patina.
Lastly, we had to find the perfect art for the pocket flasher. For this, we enlisted the help of our friend Ben Currie. His skills far surpass his love for raw denim, and that's no easy task. The guy is a hardcore denim lover and collector making this a perfect match. After many iterations, we landed on this beautiful black pocket flasher with pops of yellow and indigo. Of course, our Slub Monster's tentacles had to be blue! The suction cups representing the slubbiness of this denim only made sense. As we spoke on above, the monster is guarding his prized golden shuttle loom. We hope this wonderful piece of artwork winds up on your wall or in a scrapbook. And one day, when you've thrashed these you may just hang them on the wall as well. The fading will blow your mind! Trust us.

Fit Notes: The Weird Guy is a slim fit with a medium-high rise, roomy top block, and a slight taper from knee to hem. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 30. This is one down from his keystone size from Naked & Famous. Typically wearing super guy, he is able to size down one in the weird guy. We highly recommend you stick with your true weird guy size or go up one based on the meticulously taken measurements above. Tommy is 5'10" and 170lbs.
