Naked and famous denim

If I'm not mistaken, I saw some in a store when I went a few months ago. Completely forgot the name of it though.

I've never been sure if broken twills would fade or not, but saw a pair on sufu.

Mine did the same thing on the Pinstripe Denim. I email N&F to see if I could get a replacement button. I didn't see one on the shirt?

Damn, these look great. I wonder how long it took him to get it to that point.

To any of you who own the Reverse Fades - do they stretch out as much as other N&F denims?

I have the grey WG in 31, and they are actually a little loose for me now. I went with 32 on the skinny guy Reverse Fade, just got em, and can't quite button top button. Do I need to size up?

6.5 months with daily wear. Dunno how tight he wore them, though, and the knees are more faded than I'd expect if an office job.

Did you size down 2 in your WG? I would have gone TTS on my RFs but I sized down one (went 29 instead of my actual 30 size). I could button the top button but it took forever. In the end I dipped the top in cold water and yanked and pulled at the waist. It fit much better after. It has stretched out an inch and maybe more ever since I started wearing it. Technically if you like how the legs fit and you can button the top button, then its your size. It's a matter of preference though.

I didn't see one on the shirt either. It's been a week since I've e-mailed them and they still haven't responded to me

Nah, only sz down 1 on my WG (I was going for a bit of a looser fit). So I went TTS on the RFs. I was able to button the top button after about 10-15 min of wear. I do like the fit in the legs. I will probably just see how much they stretch naturally, and if that takes too long, I'll have to cold soak the top block like you did.

They actually aren't as stiff as I was expecting. Wasn't sure what to expect with the resin coating, but I am pleasantly surprised. Would recommend to anybody on the fence, and I can't wait for some fades to start coming in...

Glad you like em. Some of the resin on my honey combs are coming off and the pocket where I put my cell phone as well.

Two questions:

1. anywhere to fit/get these in Chicago?
2. Which of the fits correspond to the APC Petit standards? Or are they really incomparable to APC? I have larger thighs so the Skinny Guys would probably look weird on me, but I still prefer the Petit standards to the New standards.
