15oz - MIJ9 "Tennen Ai" Natural Indigo Slub Selvedge - Super Guy
Naked & Famous - MIJ9 "Tennen Ai" Natural Indigo Slub Selvedge - Super Guy

Tommy speaking here. I personally wait for the MIJ every year. I've made it a point to collect specifically these jeans because I think it's not only Naked & Famous's best denim but one of the best Japanese cut and sew pairs on the market. I think they pay attention to tall the right details. I think they pay homage to traditionalist Japanese standards, but don't let it hold them back from the best design. I honestly think they're the best pair of denim we carry every year. They're not for everyone, but if I had to choose one pair to wear for the rest of my life...it would be a pair of MIJ. Tommy out.
Every year, Naked & Famous outdoes themselves. It feels like the entire year is a ramp-up to the MIJ. It's the perfect combination of factors and details making a pair of denim that we swear "glows." This round is a "Tennen Ai" which is what has previously been referred to as "Kasuri" in other pairs. "Tennen Ai" translates to natural indigo. There is an entire crowd of denim heads out there that won't wear anything else. These are fades that usually only are described as "vintage."
This round, they've chosen to use different dye lots to create this insane vertical pattern. You'll also notice quite a lot of crunch. This is accomplished through their "Tempi" treatment. We love the texture of unsanforized denim, but not always the volatility. The one rinse treatment removes all of that (trust us, we've had multiple pairs of these and they simply don't shrink). You'll also notice the proprietary iron rivets that will age and patina with the denim. You'll see the same character arise from the pure copper rivets, both the regular ones you see on the outside and the hidden back pocket ones. Topping the pair off is a trifecta of minute details in the embroidered maple leaf, the skinny pink selvedge id, and the "peek-a-boo" coin pocket. These overall are a winner. They're hands down our go-to pick if you were to buy just one pair this season.

Fit Notes: Fit Notes: The Super Guy is a skinny fit with a medium rise, a slim top block, and a taper from knee to hem. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 31. This is his keystone size from Naked & Famous. Sometimes he is able to size down one. That is not the case here. We highly recommend you stick with your true size. The fabric is loosely woven and stretches very easily, so if you want a tight-fitting pair you may be able to size down. Scope the measurements for the most accurate fit. Tommy is 5'10" and 165lbs with a 32-33" waist.

GG Sweat Crewneck - 269 Baby Pink
Jackman continues to impress us with every delivery. This round, we shifted gears into the world of mid-heavyweight sweats. This piece is as good of a sweatshirt as we've ever seen (and we don't say that lightly). The GG stands for grainy because this fabric has such character. They use two different yarn thicknesses in the knitting process in their factory in Fukui. The decorative yarn creates a whole heck of a lot of texture that you'll feel from the get-go. The crew neck features and extra long ribbing to mirror vintage sweaters of old. And, with all the amazing products we've carried over the years...we wouldn't be surprised if you're the most impressed with these. We're super stoked to have some Miami Vice, pastel colors for this season. They can be that pop to your otherwise earthy wardrobe.
This is a crewneck that uses domestic thick yarn and uses GG fleece that has both thickness and softness. The back is not brushed and can be worn for 3 seasons. The milling cutter (rib) also uses two threads to improve durability - a cover stitch over a grounding stitch. The back is also raglan to eliminate the sharpness of the shoulders.

A soft and thick sweat pullover parka made with thick domestic yarn. The solid color emphasizes the feeling of thickness, and the heathered color combines several colors of twisted yarn to create a well-balanced heathered feel. The body width and shoulder width are designed to be loose, and the sloping shoulders eliminate the feeling of tightness when the sleeves are lowered, giving you room from the upper arms to the cuffs. The kangaroo pocket has a gusset and a three-dimensional effect, and the hood has been improved so that it does not fall down. In addition, considering comfort when worn, the main parts are sewn with flat seamers to reduce roughness on the skin.
