Naked and famous denim - Page 715

Interesting... I guess I should've sized down since my legs, especially my thighs are skinnier in comparison. I never got what TTS means..is it supposed to be in relation to the tag size or is the actual measurement of the jeans? For example, someone says go TTS. Do you buy the tag size in true to your hips (where the jean should sit) or do you buy in relation to the actual measured waist of the jean? depending on whether or not you can find a size chart..

TTS is going for the measurements that you actually have!

 

Example: My waist measures 35. And from this size chart (borrowed from tate&yoko)

 

 

TAG SIZE	28	29	30	31	32	33	34	36
WAIST	30	31	32	33	34	35	36	38
FRONT RISE	10	10.25	10.5	10.5	10.5	10.75	11	11.25
UPPER THIGH	11	11.25	11.5	11.75	12	12.5	12.5	12.75
KNEE	8	8.1	8.3	8.6	8.7	9	9.25	9.5
LEG OPENING	7	7.1	7.25	7.5	7.75	8	8.25	8.5
INSEAM	35	35	35	35	35	35	35	35

 

Going TTS means I will take the one that has the same measurements (as close as possible) as I do. That means a size 33.

But I know that this one will stretch a bit, so if I would buy this denim I would definitely go for a size 32. (not TTS, but 1 size down)

 

Thank you for the explanation! I've asked this question several times and i think you're actually the first poster to clearly explain what it actually means instead of just saying "if you measure 30, go buy a 30". Well good. Now I know that the 30s will most likely not be the fit I'm looking for.

Some people also use a website called Google to find out the meaning of things.

 

 

Perhaps you should used this website called Google to find out the meaning to TTS and find some concrete answers as to what it means and how people use the term on forums to determine fits in regards to raw denim and vanity sizes and get some clear answers. Otherwise, don't make assumptions on what I have or haven't tried doing.

Here is what I found.

 

Buying TTS means getting the TAG size thats is your waist/hip measurement. When you size down, you size down from tag and not the actual measurement.

If you size down one with true waist of 30 you buy tag 29...not 27 if vanity suze is 2" bigger

I got my deep indigo WG TTS, size 29 ( didnt know about vanity size ) and theyfit like the pre washed jeans I would buy at the mall. Now theyre a little bigger in the waist due to not washing as frequent as I would with pre washed denim. But after a soak the waist is perfect.

I have three of the NF circular knit shirts. The body fits me perfectly, but the chest is a little tight ow that I've gained some upper body mass. Sized up from an XS to a small so I dont look ridiculous. They shrink a good bit in the wash too. Have an Indigo, white and a black. Plan on getting another indigo in a size up and pass the XS down to my girlfriend. Also unlike most other loop wheeled T's these are pretty long which is awesome if you are average to tall, but really annoying if you are on the short side. The arm holes are also on the small side, kinda fit like a muscle T on me which I don't mind to much, but hopefully on their second run they will open them up a bit. Would love a pocket version too, that would be the tities.

 

Washed my indigo like 10 times and it shrank to like a toddler size, but it stretches back out with wear. 

 

Either way best fitting/feeling tee for the price. Big thanks to both Alex at T&Y and Jay at BO for helping me out with all three.

Just a quick question: I have a pair of N&F Skinny Guy deep indigo size 32, about year old. There are two crotch blowouts forming. They are small though but yeah. Was wondering what you think a fair price would be to sell them on here considering they have the crotch blowouts?

 

So I know what TTS means in it's simplest term and I've read those search results before I made my post. But that's not why I asked for clarification. Excuse me for being ignorant but this exactly why TTS is confusing in regards to SkG and WG sizing for me. What you say is TTS is contrary to what Somar told me. Going by what you just said, buying TTS for SkG would mean getting the TAG size that is my waist/hip which is a 30 (although it will measure 31), while what Somar said is actually sizing down a size to match the actual measured waist of the jean, which would mean getting a 29 in SkG instead. But of course in this case, nothing beats actually trying on the jeans. But anyways, thanks for response lckychrmsbboy. Another good answer and much appreciated. Sorry if I'm making this into some pointless and annoying, so I'll just drop it with post.

Naked & Famous Spring 2013 - Suvin ELS Weird Guy, Natural Indigo Organic Weird Guy


Just arrived is our first shipment from the Naked & Famous Spring 2013 line-up. Today we introduced two of our favorites in the collection, the Weird Guy Suvin ELS Cotton and the Weird Guy Natural Indigo Organic. Both of these denims are limited productions.

Naked & Famous "Weird Guy" Suvin ELS Cotton 13oz Selvedge Denim
* Suvin is an Indian cotton with an extra long staple (ELS) and is considered the finest cotton being produced in India today. "Suvin" variety cotton was first released in 1979 by cross breeding Sujatha (Indian cotton) with St. Vincent (Sea-Island cotton). This special breed is very difficult to grow, and this type of ELS cotton is primarily used in expensive linens and luxury fabrics, not in denim, until now! What makes Suvin special is its extra long fiber that is extremely strong and durable yet very soft.
* It is a 13oz weight offered only in the Weird Guy model, a one-time only limited production of about 1000 pairs. The fabric has an irregular weave, similar to the low tension weave denim from the fall 2012 collection.
* The "Weird Guy" fit is slim with medium rise and tapers to the leg opening
* Made with 13oz sanforized Japanese white selvedge with red accents
* Hidden coin pocket selvedge
* Thick buffalo patch
* 5 pocket, button fly closure
* 100% cotton
* Indigo
* Made in Canada

Naked & Famous "Weird Guy" Natural Indigo Organic 13oz Selvedge Denim
* Made using both organic cotton and organic natural dye. When using "real" natural indigo, the fabric is very streaky and the color of the warp yarns will not match. When rope dying using a natural indigo, even multiple dips will not get a consistent color, thus every denim will have slight variations in color and each denim will be different. The color is amazing! It is a beautiful light indigo and a weight of only 13oz making it the perfect denim going into spring. This is also a very limited one time production of only around 300 pairs.
* The "Weird Guy" fit is slim with medium rise and tapers to the leg opening
* Made with 13oz sanforized Japanese white selvedge with red accents
* Hidden coin pocket selvedge
* Cowhide leather patch
* 5 pocket, button fly closure
* 100% cotton
* Indigo
* Made in Canada
