The stretch version of this jean may differ slightly, but community feedback indicates sizing runs small and you should consider sizing up for a comfortable fit.","q":"What are the exact waist, thigh, and rise measurements for each tagged size (28-36), and do they correspond to standard sizing or run smaller?"},{"a":"The 12 oz. selvedge stretch denim contains a small percentage of elastane (typically 1–2%) for comfort, but the stretch is limited. Community feedback notes that these jeans will not stretch significantly with wear, so if they feel tight initially, it's best to size up. Expect minimal waist stretch—roughly half an inch—with limited recovery.","q":"How much stretch and recovery does the 12 oz. selvedge stretch denim offer, and will the waist stretch out significantly with wear?"},{"a":"This raw denim is sanforized (pre-shrunk) and completely untreated, meaning it will shrink only about 1–3% after the first cold wash and hang dry [1][2]. It is not one-washed, so you'll need to account for minimal shrinkage in your sizing decision.","q":"Is the raw denim one-wash or completely untreated, and what is the expected shrinkage after the first soak or wash?"},{"a":"For the Easy Guy fit, thigh measurements range from 11.5″ (size 28) to 13.5″ (size 36), and leg openings from 6″ to 7.75″ [1]. The Weird Guy fit is slimmer throughout—tighter in the thigh with a narrower leg opening—while the True Guy fit offers a roomier top block and a straight or slightly tapered leg. Community feedback confirms Weird Guy fits even tighter than Easy Guy, and True Guy is recommended if you need more space.","q":"What are the thigh and leg opening measurements for the Easy Guy fit compared to the Weird Guy and True Guy fits?"},{"a":"Yes, the deep indigo dye on raw selvedge denim will crock (transfer color) significantly, especially when new. Expect some dye to rub off onto light-colored furniture, shoes, or other clothing during the first several wears. We recommend wearing these jeans with dark items initially and avoiding contact with light porous surfaces.","q":"Does the deep indigo dye have significant crocking or color transfer that might stain light-colored furniture or shoes?"},{"a":"They won't stretch much; if they're tight initially, size up.","q":"Will these jeans stretch?"},{"a":"They develop nice fades with regular wear.","q":"How do they fade?"}],"reviews":[{"date":"April 29, 2024","tags":["Sizing & Fit","Fabric","Comfort"],"title":"Canadian made selvedge jeans","rating":5,"content":"Great japanese fabrics and Canadian craftsmanship from a Montreal brand.

IMO I would try a size up! They're really pulling at the waist and that's not going to stretch the amount that you want. If they're ball-crushing you now, that's also likely a rise issue and can be an indicator that this fit isn't for you.","subreddit":"rawdenim"},{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/1kujjfq/nf_indigo_selvedge_easy_guy_9_months_in/mu2dn1l/","type":"comment","title":"9-month progress: positive feedback on fading","author":"redditor36","ref_id":"r_e_5","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/1kujjfq/nf_indigo_selvedge_easy_guy_9_months_in/","title":"nf indigo selvedge easy guy 9 months in","subreddit":"rawdenim"},"excerpt":"These are coming along great!!

expect a more blended, watercolor-like fade rather than surgical creases, though starching the jeans during break-in can temporarily restore stiffness to push contrast.","first_wash_timing_for_contrast":"To lock in defined high-contrast fades, the first wash should be delayed until at least 6 months of effective wear so that indigo loss concentrates exclusively at stress points before any overall lightening; when washing becomes necessary, a cold soak or gentle cycle with no detergent, inside-out, preserves the indigo pattern and protects the stretch fibers.","ochre_topstitching_as_evolving_accent":"Unlike the fading indigo, the ochre-colored thread on the seams remains its golden tone permanently; as the denim around it lightens over months of wear, the topstitching progressively stands out, adding a dynamic visual accent that tracks the jean's aging."}},"competitor_comparison_raw":{"title":"How these jeans compare to other raw selvedge brands","entries":{"apc_petit_standard":"APC's iconic Petit Standard cut runs notoriously slim through the seat and thigh, requiring many buyers to size down two or more for a 'spray-on' fit—where the N&F Easy Guy provides a genuine tapered silhouette with mid-rise roominess that accommodates thighs without the sizing gymnastics, making it the pragmatic choice for anyone who finds the French cut constrictive.","japan_blue_jbo_series_jb04":"Japan Blue typically deploys heavier 14–15 oz unsanforized Japanese selvedge, heritage construction touches like hidden rivets and raised belt loops, and a price often crossing $250 USD; the N&F Easy Guy trades those traditionalist details for a lighter 12 oz weight, stretch, and a more accessible price, effectively positioning itself as the comfort-oriented younger sibling in the raw selvedge family.","unbranded_brand_sister_line":"Unbranded Brand, also founded by N&F's Brandon Svarc, delivers Japanese selvedge at roughly half the price ($80–100 USD) but achieves that by omitting Canadian production, branded hardware, and the variety of N&F's proprietary fabrics; the Easy Guy thus buys into the same fabric sourcing mentality but with the extra detail and domestic construction that enthusiasts often view as the line between 'starter raw' and 'proper selvedge'.","canadian_manufacturing_at_le_31":"Unlike most raw selvedge jeans in the $150–200 USD band—including Unbranded Brand (Macau), APC (Macau/China), and Nudie (Tunisia/Italy)—Naked & Famous cuts and sews its jeans in Canada, which at this price is a direct transfer of what would be a logistics or quality-upsell in competitor offerings into a baseline production standard.","nudie_jeans_lean_dean_grim_tim_raw":"Nudie positions raw selvedge within its sustainable ethos with free repairs and organic cotton, but its fits skew toward the very slim (Lean Dean) or tapered-slim (Grim Tim), with mid-rise roomy-taper options like the Easy Guy notably absent; the N&F cut fills a gap in the market for a true athletic tapered raw with stretch that doesn't require immediate alteration or compromise on a relaxed top block.","12_oz_stretch_selvedge_vs_rigid_competitors":"At 12 oz with elastane, the Easy Guy is noticeably lighter and more forgiving than the rigid 14.5 oz selvedge of Unbranded Brand’s standard models or the 14 oz denim of many Nudie raw jeans, yielding a lower break-in penalty and a fit that holds its shape through the day—a crucial differentiator for buyers accustomed to stretch who might otherwise find raw selvedge impractical."}},"stretch_selvedge_innovation":{"title":"The blend of stretch and selvedge denim","entries":{"1_2_elastane_philosophy":"Naked & Famous adds only the minimum elastane needed to take the bite out of rigid raw denim — just enough to ease the break-in and reduce blowout risk in a tapered silhouette — while keeping the cotton yarns tight enough that the denim still creases sharply for wallet and whisker fades instead of stretching into formlessness.","fade_potential_with_stretch":"The low elastane content means the cotton takes the dye and wear pressure as usual; community fade examples show that stretch Easy Guys develop honeycombs and stacking fades that are sharp and vintage-like, not the soft-wash marbling that higher-stretch jeans often produce, so the stretch never relegates the jean to a ‘dad jean’ aesthetic.","selvedge_ticker_authenticity":"Even though the denim contains elastane, it is still woven on narrow shuttle looms that produce the self-finished seam with a ticker stripe — cuffed, the jeans display the telltale clean edge that instantly signals genuine selvedge to fellow denim enthusiasts, maintaining the ‘club’ feel of raw denim while delivering unexpected stretch comfort."}}}},"handle":"indigo-easy-guy-selvedge-jean-tapered-fit-8947-22300","storefront_path":"/en/men-clothing/jeans/tapered/indigo-easy-guy-selvedge-jean-tapered-fit--8947-22300","storefront_url":"https://ai.simons.ca/en/men-clothing/jeans/tapered/indigo-easy-guy-selvedge-jean-tapered-fit--8947-22300"}}
