About Naked & Famous Denim

Naked & Famous Denim is a Montréal jeans brand founded in 2008. It uses raw Japanese selvedge denim, and its jeans are cut and sewn in Canada.

Naked & Famous suits denim lovers who enjoy watching a pair of raw jeans fade and mold to their body over time. Raw denim starts stiff and dark, so the usual tip is to wear it often and wash it rarely for the first months. A good pair can last for years. The brand has built a following among denim fans around the world while staying rooted in Montréal's garment industry.
