Raw Denim - What is it?

@Hamza-Yunus I probably have about 20 pairs of N&F jeans... they are a great company, and do amazing things that wouldn't exist without the brand. You name it they've done it...
That being said, my IH jeans do feel superior and although more expensive I do prefer IH... for someone wanting to just get into raw denim, N&F are a great brand and definitely have their place in the raw denim world.
I didn't know about the James Bond wearing dirty fades/stretch selvedge, thanks for sharing!

@Jord N&F didn't heavily capitalize on this event, imo. Perhaps this is due to their humble attitude, lack of arrogance, or respectful demeanor. However, they speculated about one of two pairs possibly worn by James Bond; this might be a strategic tactic employed by costume designers. In any case, N&F cannot be ruled out. IH is a biker-oriented brand, while N&F appeals to a broader demographic through innovation and a proactive attitude. If anything is possible in the denim world, they would be the last of the Mohicans to achieve it.

I have just two pairs ..
One is super guy dirty fade selvedge (14.5 oz, i guess).
The other is weird guy the dark knight 16oz selvedge with Bat-logo on the selvedge ID.
Both are W30, a bit tight but I still wear them.
Finding a correct size was harder for me as I was not able to try them on.
I live in Pakistan
and I had to buy them online and shipped to me.
I got confused in tag sizes and actual waist. -
@Giles IH do nothing with nep? I have seen slubby jeans and jacket on IH catalog.

" a-tad-terse " reply .. You were not lying

@Giles The article above explains loom-chatter well. Slubby texture (warp) and neppy texture (weft) come from the yarn, while loom-chatter results from the weaving process. As the loom weaves, the shaking and tangling of the yarn further accentuate the uneven texture [loom chatter) .. gotcha !!
hope, I m right -
@Giles Hahhaa .. damn right !!
short, accurate and a tad terse ..
