[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Thanks so much for featuring us in your video! Excellent job!

[@nickcerentos2044]

Love how detailed your jean reviews are. Never miss a thing. Great job

[@mosesk8568]

Best jean review video. No one beats the level of detail that you make your vids with

[@anightoff]

Excellent content. Love the way you review and talk about each product.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Thanks for watching! New video on leather sneakers coming out tomorrow morning

[@JasonGss]

Naked and famous and nudie were my first raw jeans and I always tend to gravitate back to them because the quality is so good for the price. Uniqlo jeans are amazing as well. I was able to get a selvedge pair on clearance for $12. Levi's 511 is a classic but my taste in denim has gotten more "fancier" as I got older haha

[@MensFashionFiles]

Nothing wrong with that. I've gravitated more towards comfort as I got older haha

[@panair4126]

So do I & many of my generation.There is no substitute for denin.

[@raz0gaming]

im a younger guy but my taste on denim product is comfy,which one offers the most comfort,i will choose it,and as of now only levi's can provide me with quality and comfortability,i have 7 pairs of mixed 512 and 511,3 of them are the made and crafted version,and the rest of them has "levi's premium" tag on it and higher price tag compared to the video i love all of them and levi's is no match for me,sure they are not for denimhead who loves heavyweight jeans and heavyweight trucker jackets,but for average people who like the aesthetic of denim jeans and still want to be comfortable in it,it is still no match

[@steveath2957]

Use to wear a lot of raw denim back in the days but now value comfort more lol. Evisu, nudie and levis 501 were my go to but have shifted more to brands like uniqlo and banana republic. Awesome detailed review btw

[@MensFashionFiles]

Thanks! I had a phase in high school on Evisu jeans haha

[@nassiglutt6587]

Same pal. I still consider the 501the best jeans of all time lol. Though i still have them, i prefer wearing the softer material 511s and uniqlos too👍

[@danielirvine7468]

So glad to see nudies got a great review I have loved all the pairs I have had I have pbj and other raw selvage jeans but I’m all about comfort these days

[@MensFashionFiles]

Lol I feel you on that. Once you try stretchy jeans, you never go back.

[@mikeespada9220]

Amazing video! The Nudies look so good on you, wow! Uniqlos look fantastic too. I just copped a pair after watching your video.

[@MensFashionFiles]

good to hear that!

[@markperkins5626]

You do your homework, thank you! As a slender guy, I wish you would have reviewed AG jeans; they’ve been my favorite for 10 years. Keep up the comparisons!

[@MensFashionFiles]

Appreciate the comment! Not familiar with AG jeans but they look great. How's the quality?

It would be great to get one of these comparisons for a hoodie. I've been looking for a good thick hoodie.

[@MisterChris1978]

as someone who is a little chunky, 5' 11'', 245. 36 waist, i can't speak highly enough of Lucky. it can be a challenge finding jeans that aren't overally baggy that also fit me. The lucky lines with a little stretch to them are amazing. fit comfortably, tapered leg is nice, and very flattering. they aren't baggy at my size, are flattering (i think), and i feel good in them.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Awesome, glad to hear that you found brand that works well with your body 👌

[@norraguldheden]

I own a pair of Nudie dry 16 Dips and really love the fit and the look of these jeans. Have been using them for two years. They really looked great on you as well.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Thanks brother, Nudie dry 16 dips truly is a great fitting pair of jeans 👌

[@liguan9707]

Does it shrink quite a lot?

[@arindambasu9850]

Nice vid man. Please do a detailed video on the Levis 512. I think it's one of the best looking and fitting jeans for a sharp tailored look. Also, I'm curious to know if a similar tapered fit exists in other popular brands at the same price point.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Gotcha my man. Check out my Levi's slim/skinny/taper guide here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaaueX6lrp6WgqM

[@pattgsm]

Love your denim fit reviews. I have to consider my own body type so rankings on fit alone would be different. The Nudie jeans fit you the best but the embellished stitching on the rear pockets are so 90’s. I would have no choice but to painstakingly remove them or pay a seamstress or denim tailor. As a brand Uniqlo is hitting all the marks and would be my #1 but my rear doesn’t fit their mold. I have to spend a little more but Naked and famous gets my #1 vote.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Thanks for watching! Spot on, this review is subjective based on my body. All I can do is give my body as reference to help others get an idea on how it may fit themselves. Nudie jeans embroidery is definitely an acquired taste lol. I dont mind if I wear a simple outfit but wouldnt wear if I'm planning to be a little more dressy. Naked and famous is great and good to hear you found a brand that fits you well.

[@remmasangcay5348]

I'm really getting into that Americana fashion/minimalist fashion, also you can try the Japanese cuff if your jeans are a little bit long , thats how denim heads cuff their selvedge.

[@MensFashionFiles]

That sounds great. You gotta get yourself a leather jacket next! I'm not too familiar with Japanese cuff but I like the sound of it haha

[@nocnymarek7645]

Wrangler Larston and Mustang Washington Slim are my favourites.

[@yanyan3712]

Nice vid bro

[@christopherburtjr4998]

I’m also 5’10”. Naked & Famous easy guy fits more athletic. Weird guy was too tight at same size (36). Also size & cuts slightly varies pending which model you purchase.

[@MensFashionFiles]

This was my first time buying Naked & Famous so wasnt familiar with their models. Will have to check out their skinny fit next time.

[@nicholassantino8213]

You should review Unbranded Jeans, they’re a sub brand of n&f. Mostly made from the same factory as APC & sells for half lol

[@MensFashionFiles]

appreciate the suggestion, will check them out!

[@nottsforest69]

N&F super guy and UB 101’s would have fit well in this test. Good idea though making a video on what your followers are wearing 👍

Have you tried Club Monaco Super Skinny Jeans? They are in raw indigo color or whatever.

[@MensFashionFiles]

I have not, my thighs doesn't fit well in skinny jeans let alone super skinny haha. Club Monaco has some good chinos and taper jeans

[@feliiiik]

What year did you get those uniqlo light blue wash jeans. Not seeing that colorway on the online store.

[@MensFashionFiles]

I would say it's at least 4 years old. Surprised that Uniqlo hasn't restocked on this colorway since its pretty common.

[@devinclaycomb4436]

Should have bought the 110 slim at Lucky Brand. I believe the one you bought is more of an athletic fit.

[@DQ_Style]

Great job. Subs!

[@MensFashionFiles]

[@foxlu2967]

For slim jeans, I'd like to recommend RRL slim narrow

[@MensFashionFiles]

I love your Nudie jeans.

[@ChristopheZ]

my lucky brand 121 Heritage Slim is 99% cotton and 1% spandex!!!!( bought it a long time ago!) i guess they changed the production...lol

[@jortega61924]

The fast fashion brand gap has a selvedged finish as well.

[@MensFashionFiles]

True, GAP jeans are great too. I have two pairs from them

[@yashinisuki]

Can't believe that in the US you can get 511's for just $40. In the UK they cost around $130-160 depending on the colour variant.

[@TuneinR]

It is called business variant.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Wow, that's insane. Not sure if Levi's are better quality in the UK but in the US, it's not worth $130+

[@jaysterling26]

Which 'paper ( if not all) sums it up as,' rip-off Britain '? Got to remind myself to ask my flight attendant niece to get some stuff in the states for me..er, for her ( customs maybe reading this) . Yup, I'd wear ladies' jeans if they're cheaper ( I'm not that frugal ; it's called having a high maintenance girlfriend ).

[@SynDeus]

US has less taxes policies on clothing

[@Felix-cj3kg]

120€ in Germany right now

[@thullraven1]

Old Navy works just fine for me. I don't like the Low Rise on Levi's and other brands. It's hard to tuck shirts in jeans that have a Low Rise.

[@nitinyadav6201]

Levi’s do come in different composition 100 percent cotton;99 cotton 2 percent elastane

[@luckydc3761]

Although advertised as a "skinny", the Naked & Famous Super Guy is a slim-tapered fit. It more closely aligns with Nudie's Lean Dean than the Weird Guy fit.

[@adidanielhaq996]

For me the best fading, comfort and good cutting way is NUDIE JEANS! 😘😘

[@MensFashionFiles]

yea!

[@fafaas7239]

No doubt nudie jean fitting is the best of all. I love ironheart but nudie jean fitting is the best

[@adventureofficialtv7332]

Nice 👍

[@Phlegm_Thrower]

Decent video but you bought the cheapest entry level Levi's and then knocked points off the quality for using polyester? You do know Levi's has more premium quality (Made & Crafted) jeans more comparable to the others in your list, right?

[@MensFashionFiles]

First of all, I really like your Ninja. Second, you're right, I admit I should've made a more 1:1 comparison with higher quality Levi's but I didnt have it at the time. Might need to remake this video

[@waing3360]

Levis LVC

[@raz0gaming]

i mean ye,you have to compare it 1:1 in quality,price because in non designer brand higher price tags = higher quality

[@upsbear]

naked and 'famous looks fabulous on you. Maybe try the Skinny Guy fit.

I like the Levi's 511 but in my experience a pair of Levi's only hold about Year before I get a hole in the crotch and need to throw them out and for us in Europe Levi's i expensive and cost between €100-€140 so about $110-$160 so for me Levi's i not worth it because the jean quality is for the price is not the best but Levi's still have a great fit.

[@MensFashionFiles]

Wow, that is pricey for Levi's. Believe it or not, a lot of high end brands experience crouch blow outs like APC and Nudie. If you wear any jeans a lot, it's almost inevitable.

[@elijahschnake3863]

The APC isn't recycled cotton, it's fuzzy because it's unsanforized

[@dennisclanton5342]

Strike Gold

[@MensFashionFiles]

[@helgeschneider4417]

I feel like the Lucky Brand jeans are an even worse deal than the A.P.C. ones. The cotton and spandex are fine, but 22% polyester (doesn't matter if it has some gimmicky "cooling" abilities) in a 100$ pair of jeans is a total ripoff. Not to mention the Lyocell (which is made from wood pulp, not sure how chemically making clothes out of wood is environmentally friendly), which like all viscose will not hold up if you machine wash it, especially at anything above 30° C. These are basically pure fashion jeans and a bad deal at that.

[@SinjiKazama]

You can't beat Uniqlo for the value. Selvedge for peanuts.

[@MensFashionFiles]

glad you agree!

Why would you get the weird guy from Naked & Famous Denim and not the skinny guy when reviewing slim fit jeans? Kinda did your self a dis justice on that one
