19oz Elephant X - Super Guy
Naked & Famous - 19oz Elephant X - Super Guy
This is the big one (physically and metaphorically). The Elephant series had made it through 10 iterations. It is our best-seller every year, and I would guess that it's the same for Naked & Famous. It's the best price for a heavyweight denim on the market, but it doesn't pull any punches. We've seen previous iterations break-in, and my goodness do they hold up. They look incredible too, so ultimately the Elephant series is a win-win every year. This round is super dark and very reminiscent of the deep indigo stretch selvedge (except no stretch and a lot heavier). This is due to the grey weft. It also sports a wonderful metallic silver ticker with a maroon dash.
The Elephant X is a 19oz heavyweight Japanese selvedge denim. Being the 10th Edition of the elephant series, the Elephant X pays tribute to the very first Elephant Denim, utilizing the original indigo warp exterior and weight along with a new gunmetal grey weft interior and chrome selvedge ID. The result is deep indigo denim with a shadowy undertone. Cut, sewn, built in Canada with contrast stitching, a 10oz vegetable tanned leather patch, and burnished silver metallic buttons and rivets.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 31 in the pictures. That is his typical N&F size. These, even though heavy are that much lighter than the ones a few ounces heavier. We recommend sizing up one if you're not used to heavier-weight denim. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 32-33" waist.
*The Super Guy is a skinny fit with a medium rise, a slim top block, and a taper from knee to hem.*
Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
