SJ201BA22 - 15oz - Denim Aviator's Cap - Indigo
Samurai - 15oz - Denim Aviator's Cap - Indigo
Coming Soon - 7/9/22 at 1pm EST
We couldn't say no to a cap made from Samurai's to start, but if 17oz is too heavy for ya...and you're more of a baseball cap kind of guy...the Aviator cap might just be for you in the 15oz weight. They're still pretty hefty though. These do not disappoint in person. Imagine all the denim work caps you've seen from brands over the years with, but with the weightiness and construction you expect from Samurai. These are simply packed with texture and character that you can expect to fade as well as your favorite pair of jeans.

Denim
So, we were considering adding this stock to what stock we have remaining and just putting a note about how wash strength may vary...but we decided it might be in everyone's best interest to let you choose. The FW23 batch of 2-year wash came out a little darker than the SS23, and we think both look killer!
You may have noticed that we've been a holdout on washed denim for nearly ten years of doing business. We were always of the mindset that we should make our own fades. We've passed on many a beautiful wash, and we've also evolved a little bit as a brand. If we were ever going to start with a wash, it was going to be from orSlow. The first time we saw these in person in a New York showroom over 2 years ago now, we knew they were too special to not give a shot. And now that we have, we're utterly in love.
This pair is mirrored from an archival pair from designer Ichiro Nakasu's own personal collection. It features oxidized rivets, railroading, honeycombs, roping, and gold selvedge ID. The fading is pretty perfectly even across the jeans like you would expect from any great vintage pair. There's almost more white there than blue at this point. This is the pair for guys who have tons of indigo they're working on and want something with that vintage look. It's also just for anyone who likes this wash of denim! These are nice and soft but will continue to age and patina with time. And they've got a nice roomy, standard fit for style and comfort.
Every year, without fail, our Canadian friends produce a mind-boggling pair of heavyweight denim. This denim has affectionately been named the Elephant series and it just so happens to be on its 12th iteration. We would be lying if we said this pair didn't impress us every year, but we never stop being surprised about just how good it is. In a world full of pant alternatives and denim washes, we find the starchy, heavy stuff tugging at our heartstrings once again. These just so happen to be nearly twice the weight of a "normal" denim. Workwear was never even this heavy when the denim jean was invented in the early 1900s. So these are specially built to take an ass kicking and keep on going long after the first hole pops through many moons down the line. This style of densely woven, heavily slubby denim is also known for fading unlike your standard pair of denim. The honeycombs will be thicker, and deeper; the roping will be super ropey; and the back pocket accessories will do their fading even quicker.
The real beauty in this pair is that they used broken twill denim. Many people have seen the infamous "leg twist" battle play out online over the past ten years...well, there's no need to worry about that with these. Broken Twill was invented to solve this problem. Because the twill weave doesn't have one specific direction, the denim doesn't follow that direction once it's cut and sewn into the pants. Not only that, but it looks super rad when you check out the weft of the jeans. It adds an extra layer of texture that you'll see in the fading to go along with that starchy, slubby texture. These are our first real taste of fall denim from N & F, and it's really got us in that cool weather mood.

Sumi is a traditional Japanese ink used for calligraphy. This pair of denim is actually rope-dyed with deep indigo underneath but has been completely enveloped by ink. The beauty in this denim is not only in its matte black coating but the way in which it fades. If you're familiar with indigo x black denim that has been released in the past, they have this wonderful shadowy look as the natural color of the rope yarn reveals itself over time...well this denim fades in a very similar way but slightly different. As the Sumi Ink starts to crock from the denim, followed by the indigo, you'll see similar shades of bright indigo and natural whites all while bits of that black coating remain stuck between the twill lines. It makes for an incredibly unique wear pattern even for the broad range of Naked & Famous jeans. These are a bit like their core fading series if you think about the entire pant acting as the core waiting to be revealed. There's a nice little trick that happens with the selvedge ID that you can see on the backside of the ticker. It's a pink ID that will also be revealed with time. They've finished the pants with tonal stitching, black-coated hardware, and a black leather patch.
