Nice little introduction. I've been eyeing a new pair of jeans for winter buut...... I think I'll get the 32s. Respect to the 40 but I'm not that manly.

I believe that one needs a special degree to become a scientist. I don’t think that the fabric factory workers wear lab coats.

[@chawenhalo0089]

I respect Naked & Famous for being such a fun brand making creative jeans. Most of their jeans are 10-12 Oz which is fairly lightweight. Oh and don't thing heavyweight denim is going to save your bacon in a motorbike accident. Tarmac goes through 1cm of bone per meter. Motorcycle outfitters like Bering make special kevlar reinforced jeans for that purpose and they correspond to safety standards whatever part of the world you ride in.

[@Chevsilverado]

Yes agreed. My friend wore REALLY thick denim and it completely shredded in a 30mph slide. It’s basically useless at anything faster than just putting around a city slowly. (Unless you’re lucky) I wore some very nice Kevlar jeans and even they had some signs of ripping through during a fairly minor slide. Still held up though much better than normal denim while being thinner and more comfortable than a super heavy pair.

[@alanc6468]

They should use it for vests or elbow patches.

[@misha9952]

I have a pair of 24 oz Ironheart. Definitely not for me. The day after I've been wearing them anything else feels like a t-shirt on my legs. It took me close to a year for them to actually break in. The crotch "cracked" frayed after about a year. They did shrink by half a size which they shouldn't have (made the waist be quite tight and very uncomfortable) but that might just be Ironheart specifically. Would not recommend for general public. Now 5 years in they do fit like a glove and feel like a substantial pair of jeans. But the break in process was so uncomfortable that I'd never get another pair above 15-16oz

[@nadekang8198]

My 25oz 634XHS is great. Did you buy a pair of their rigid denim or the ones that are one-washed?

[@misha9952]

@@nadekang8198 Honestly I do not remember, they are not 634XHS. I imagine rigid denim because they took a very long time to break in. I've only soaked them 2x the first year and after both times they still stood upright. They feel like a glove now, but I don't know if I would purchase 25 oz again.

[@nadekang8198]

@@misha9952 I guess you bought the rigid ones which I heard was painful to break in. The one-wash ones are a bit rigid when you got them, but after about 2 weeks of wearing they become very comfortable. I would go for IH 25oz if I can't get N&F 32oz or 40oz.

I know it can probably never theoretically happen but it would be great if someone could come out with a jean that won't get crotch blowouts.I think I counted four pair in the background that were blown out or close to it.

[@joewick5299]

Called gussets.

[@thewiselamb]

The best way to avoid blowouts is to check the crotch area on a regular basis, and then wash and reinforce as necessary. I had a pair that was about to blowout so I put patches behind the weakened fabric and they ended up being fine, I would also recommend washing at least every six months because extra dirt in the fibers can weaken them and cause blowouts (with heavier denim blowouts are more likely to happen so I would recommend soaks or washes more frequently if you’re wearing anything above like 25-30 oz

Serious question, why is button fly on denim a thing. It’s not functional and is super annoying in bathroom! It also seem difficult to find good jeans with a zip. What gives?? Zip ftw!

[@doublestrokeroll]

Tradition. Zipper's weren't really used on pants until the 1930's or so. Button fly was the first so companies still make them. They're very functional. Sure, they're slower to do up but once you get used to them you can do it pretty fast. Fast enough that you never think about it as an issue. Also it's far less likely buttons are going to fail as often as zippers. I've got 2 pairs of Japan Blue Jeans with zippers. You can get Momotaro's with zippers. I think I tried on a pair of Warehouse in Japan that have them. Maybe it was Studio D'Artisan. There are plenty available.

This isn't to hate on N&F, I think they're great, but the 40oz jeans look like shit. They've blown passed the point of diminishing returns. Fabric needs to be able to fold and drape, hell that's where most of your patina and fades come from. The 40oz won't naturally be capable of that for probably over a year if not a lot longer, so you end up with awful looking fades and patina. And because it can't fold or drape, it looked awful on Garrett. It literally looked like he was wearing denim jeans made to be the "stylish" bottom of a clown costume complete with the suspenders. The 32oz looked great!
