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

A variance of +/-5" is within tolerance.
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 as his standard fit, he is able to size down one in the Weird Guy. We highly recommend you stick with your true weird guy size on these. The fabric is loosely woven and stretches very easily, so if you want a tight-fitting pair you may be able to size down. Tommy is 5'10" and 165lbs with a 32-33" waist.

12oz - Dusty Rose Denim - Weird Guy
Goodness, it's good to see some variation in pants this Summer. We've definitely got the most diverse lineup of pant colors and fabrics we've ever had, so why not Pink (dusty rose). These are a refreshing slap in the face when all you've been wearing is indigo all day. We knew the second we saw these that they were a cult classic in the making. This is that pair that sells out and people go hunting for it years and years from now. The color is the perfect off-pink color that 99% of people don't have in their wardrobe. It's such a unique, soft fabric that we can see guys wearing all Summer long until they break out their heavy stuff for Winter. And maybe, just maybe, these will make an appearance all year round.

We've been watching from the sidelines for a few years now. We have to admit, shorts were never our forte. But, we've broadened our horizon a bit in the last year and we've become shorts connoisseurs. We could no longer deny that our favorite brands were making shorts just as well as they make everything else. These have a super unique pocket design where the front gusseted pockets nearly mirror themselves as back pockets. It's got the modern flat black coated feather nickel button and an elastic waist for extra comfort. This comes very in handy with a raw denim. They feel stiff up front like a brand-new pair of jeans, but they're so easy to slip on because of that waistband. These will fade with an incredibly shadowy look. We know some guys are going to make these pop with blueberry blue in just a few months, and we can't wait to see it.
9oz Fatigue Shorts - Alpenflage Camo
We've been watching from the sidelines for a few years now. We have to admit, shorts were never our forte. But, we've broadened our horizon a bit in the last year and we've become shorts connoisseurs. We could no longer deny that our favorite brands were making shorts just as well as they make everything else. These have a super unique pocket design where the front gusseted pockets nearly mirror themselves as back pockets. It's got the classic feather nickel button and an elastic waist for extra comfort. We clearly have a bit of a problem with camo (we can't keep our hands off of it). And this is the most unique camo we've seen to date. It's full of unexpected colors and busyness that it almost becomes a plain. That's how we look at the wildest patterns. You can wear them with anything because they become their own amorphous thing.
This is a first for us. Karl has modified the "Field Shirt" slightly for this short sleeve version, but it still holds true to its origins. The major differences are the chopped-off sleeves and the more uniform pocketing. It still has a boxier silhouette and a pen slot in the left pocket. They've also used those iconic black catseye buttons. The fabric is for sure the star of the show. This selvedge twill is as buttery as buttery gets. It has a nice tight weave for a smooth finish that feels extremely luxurious. They've also given us those little pokes of selvedge ticker in the side gussets and on the placket. This shirt kind of ties it all together. It's a bit of what RGT has been known for, for so many years. It's a gorgeous piece to add to any collection.
