Review - Naked & Famous WeirdGuy in Mega Heavyweight 26oz Black Warp

Presenting the newest, craziest, heaviest and most rigid jeans ever made…
WeirdGuy in Mega Heavyweight 26oz Black Warp / Black Weft Selvedge Denim. (Style# 011263)

Verbatim : 
These jeans are raw. The longer you keep from washing them, the more special and personalized they will get. many denim enthusiasts dont't wash raw jeans for the first 6 months. enjoy!

This tough fabric was so difficult to weave; our Japanese suppliers said they had to battle against the looms to make it happen. The shuttles were loaded with such heavy and rigid black weft yarns that it struggled to make each fill pass. As a result this created “a war within the loom” and the vibrations (loom chatter) were intense! This is all evidenced by the beautifully unique and irregular character of the resulting denim fabric.

Then came the challenge of sewing this crazy denim into jeans. Our factory friends in San Francisco took on the challenge, and with some hard work and dedicated expert mechanics they were finally able to figure out a way to properly adjust each machine in every process to make it work.

Another challenge was installing the 15oz leather patch which can be as thick as 10mm!!
