Great video! Was considering many different brand for my 1st pair of Japanese selvedge denim Naked & Famous, PBJ, Iron heart etc etc. Ended up getting the Samurai S511 yesterday. Make an update on the fading! Happy new year!
For sizing: measure a current jean waistband and try to get the raw ones close to that. Don't be trying to get them 2 sizes down cause they will never stretch out that much. Yes denim will stretch out like .5 to 1" but just slap on a belt. If they are too big you can always do a hot soak and if you are brave a dryer 😂 but the purists will say no but ive done it before to get mine to fit better. Never wash them alone with a spin cycle. You can wash em in the machine but inside out and with a ton of other clothes so that they won't marble. I always hem after a soak so I don't cut too much off. But yea just size for comfort and don't go for that painted on fit cause you'll just end up with pairs that are too small.
rly good tips! thanks!! yeah I learned the hard way this time to get a size that actually fits 😭 how much shrinkage do you experience when doing a hot soak/dryer?
@@jshpwnnr101 nice! LHT looks so good and is supposedly one of N&F's nicest fading & softest denim once broken in. I'm currently testing a solid black weird guy as well 👏🏼 13 oz seems like an ideal weight for most seasons, so versatile!
@@b3naqua I think they do the forever blue every season for the people that don't want the fades. I have worn my pair of left hand twill some 300 odd times (I wash them infrequently) and fades sort of feel like a lighter explosion of blue under the dark indigo blue that eventually fades to white.
yesterday I also bought the same pair with the same fit as my first pair of raw japanese selvedge denim, now I'm waiting for them to be delivered (but I'm in Italy and it was super difficult to find a reseller, I had to navigate trough all the sites list of naked and famous site just to find a french reseller so I didn't had to pay like 60 bucks just for the delivery 😭) (sorry for the bad english btw).
@@b3naqua My first pair are the Iron Heart 666 21oz, then the NF Dia de los Muertos and NF MIJ12 AOMIDORI 15oz, and Brave Star 14oz 'Golden Handshake' Cone Mills Denim and ONI Kabuki crushed concrete 15oz. The only bad thing about this world of raw denim is how tattoos are. If you get some you'll want more hahaha. Greetings ✌️
@@malboro1600 danggg nice collection! Those Oni crushed concrete jeans have been on my radar as well. I might have to hide my credit card soon cuz since I've already bought 2 more pairs since I released this video lol - N&F shinigami easy guy 18 oz, Oni 242 13 oz 🥵
Firstly 3 years ago in a video of urs about apples loseless audio u said alac is not supporting bluetooth for now is it supporting now? And lastly again in that video u said if u have this logo (high res audio) on ur headphones box u are be able to listen ur audios in alac and hi res alac formats coming to my question now I am buying a new headphone that has high res audio wireless can I listen my songs in high res alac format or at least in normal alac
@@superandz good tip! do you think they'll shrink a bit in the warm water? the smaller size I ended up getting is already borderline too small lol so I'm afraid they'll be even tinier haha
@@b3naquawash them in COLD water. Don’t put them in the washer either. Only hand wash them at first. (You can basically just soak them for 30 mins with minimum moving). NEVER DRY THEM IN A MACHINE. Always hang dry (squeeze as much out as possible and stretch jeans out to desired length) They will shrink a bit but only length wise. The waist might but Naked & Famous are notorious for waist stretch. Don’t worry about that as long as you wash cold water. Best wishes and hope to see future updates. I pray you venture into shirts too.
@@b3naquabro I would respect it a lot. I jumped from 12 oz to 21oz Samurai and it was CRAZY (slim straight too). They are the best jeans I have ever seen or worn
@ I held and tried on the True Guys and the Jacket. Stunning fabric and GREAT JUMP UP! I wear 21 & 20oz Samurai + Oni jeans for the colder months. Anything over 17oz is another planet. It will become like sweat pants once broken in. Super excited for you. New follower ✊🏾
Now I need a black pair 🦇join my discord! discord.gg/d7PzvD37bu
N&F announced a forever black jean. Their forever blue jeans don't come in the strong guy fit though. Not sure forever black will.
@@ROB-12013hope they release forever black in strong guy!

yooo tysm! Those samurai 511s look so nice 🤤 just ordered a couple more black selvedge jeans after this vid lol - N&F shinigami easy guy + Oni 242

Nice. I just discovered this brand and love the weird guy fit.
Awesome! Yeah that fit looks so good too, just tried a pair of those as well. Which model of weird guy do you like?
I bought the solid black 13 oz denim. I love them and I'm now looking at the left hand twill jeans. Thanks for the review, it pushed me over the edge.

I think they’re ’forever blue’ or something like that won’t fade. Left hand twill fades pretty quick but I really like the fades it gives.
Yeah the fades look so nice! I saw forever blue and black on N&F's website, v intrigued about those now.

I just bought my first pair last week and am getting them hemmed now. I wanted to make sure the length was perfect. I bought a pair of Hiroshi Kato’s
@@LilyLuna-24 nice!! Which Hiroshi Kato’s did you get?
@ the pen slim. I purposely bought them long so I could get the length correct. I would strongly suggest getting them hemmed. They look really baggy
do we downsize 2 sizes from the true measurement of our waist? im a 36” on tape and usually wear size 33-34
@@triggersay8584 double check the N&F size chart, but I’m p sure you’d be a 33, or 34 if you wanted a little more room in these

Ooh nice! I'm very curious to hear about your experience with these jeans!
Nice jeans !! I have two pairs of jeans from that brand and I love them.. welcome to the world of raw denim.. 🐶
@@malboro1600 lol thanks! Which N&F jeans do you have? Just ordered a pair of Oni 242 wide leg 🥵 lol caught the selvedge bug

I have a pair of the Hard & Soft (True Guy) + a pair of the Sakura Sky (Wise Guy). Both are 12 oz. I love both pairs a lot. Perfect for what they are
@@Mohjo99 nice collection! Both of those pairs have such interesting fabrics 👏🏼
Bro can I ask u something about audio stuff you seem well informed on this stuffs from ur old videos
@@SenpaiBedlex sure!

@ wireless ALAC isn’t supported yet 😭
Oh I see then if I use the headphone wired can I use my audios in alac format
@ yup!
Oh please don't thick cuff/roll up them. Hey while the waist won't work for me the length 30 certainly does. Ben! Your room looks like a set. 😘 🐶
haha yeah I'll prob get them hemmed 🤘🏼 looks cleaner. The inseam length is 34", which creates all that "stacking" on the lower leg.
Give them a warm soak get all the starch out first then they will soften up.

@ good info thank you!
Well I guess if your complaining about 13oz being stiff and long then 25oz samurai and iron heart are out of the question...
I'm into pain so might have to try those
