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.*
Apparel
Crosscut Flannel - Rust Twill Plaid
This Crosscut has all that heavy texture goodness for which the shirt is known. It's a chunky twill with the enamel-coated buttons you all know and love. And, it's a gorgeous Rust color that shoots a bit of saturation into an otherwise desaturated lineup for FW23. Still though, this shirt has a softness from the brushing process that we've come to appreciate. The day of the stiff, crunchy flannel has come to an end, at least for now. Cozy is in, but without losing the hardiness this thing cut its teeth on.
Easy Pant - Dry Garden Jacquard
The Easy Pant is a roomy, comfy fitting pant with a cut nice enough to make you want to wear it out and about, but just as easily to lounge on the couch. It carries on this season's beige/tan color story in this gorgeous off-white color they're calling Dry Garden. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on one of the last two pieces, these pants will pair perfectly with them. We really appreciate that they used their newly acquired fabric wizardry to do the talking. Since pairing with their factory in India, the level of textile uniqueness is through the roof. This Jacquard has a topographical hand feel that you can see in the pictures but only truly experience in person. It's very, very hard to shock us after 10 years of seeing and touching fabrics on a daily basis - but this Dry Garden Jacquard has opened our eyes to what technical weaving can be.
Shop Jacket - Dry Garden Jacquard
The Shop Jacket is a new silhouette for FW23 that is designed with a nod toward classic European chore coats. It carries on this season's beige/tan color story in this gorgeous off-white color they're calling Dry Garden. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on one of the last two pieces, this jacket will layer over the top of them so nicely.

We figured it was due time to bring in some tees from our fan-favorite brand. Our thinking was that if they make pants and shirts and sweats so well, the tee shirts must be impeccable. Well, they are. We love the loose, boxy fit of this tee more than we expected. And the little embroidery of the islands of Japan at the yoke is fantastic. The jersey fabric is heavy without being a "heavyweight" tee. It's a jersey with just enough weight that you can feel it but not so much that it feels like a task to put it on. This and the roomier cut give it nice breathability. If you're an orSlow stan like we are at the shop, you're gonna need one of these puppies.
If you asked the question "What would it be like if you put pockets on the Fatigue Pants?" - this might just be your answer. Of course, it has different pockets and a slightly different cut, but a similar look overall. We've received more questions about this pant over the past 6 months than we know what to do. Sometimes, we like to snag something, if we can, to test fit and glean public opinion. This one was a "yes" from the general pop, and from us at the shop, so it had to be brought in. The major difference between this and most fatigues is that ripstop fabric. It's the grid pattern you see on a macro level in the pants that is built to be more resistant to ripping and tearing. It was one of the military's first tech fabrics, without using any actual synthetic tech. Where they lack the texture of the reverse sateen, they gain a ton with the ripstop. These are a little smoother overall and we're over the moon for this roomier fit. They take on a whole new wardrobe inspiration with this loose, comfy feel. The side tab adjusters make it quite utilitarian as the piece is as a whole in general. These babies have everyone swooning.
