Introducing The King Ghidorah jeans, a new entry in the Godzilla x Naked & Famous Denim collaboration. If Godzilla is the powerful anti-hero of this collection, then the three-headed King Ghidorah is the definitive arch nemesis, whose 1964 debut film solidified Godzilla's role as the savior. This pair of jeans is a tribute to the iconic character, designed with details as legendary as the monster itself. Like King Ghidorah's bumpy, scaly exterior, the denim here is purposefully slubby, giving the 14oz. fabric a tactile, textured feel. While the monster is massive, the denim is lighter than the Godzilla piece, ensuring it's wearable while still feeling substantial.
The coolest and most technical aspect of these jeans is the fabric construction itself. In a nod to King Ghidorah’s three heads, we utilized a triple weave construction, an extension of their popular Frankenstein series. This denim is not a standard right-hand twill, left-hand twill, or broken twill. Instead, it is a combination of all three. The unique weave, featuring a segment of left-hand twill, broken twill, and right-hand twill, is a fascinating construction that will reveal itself more and more with every wear and wash, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind fade.
Even more character of this design lies in its gold theme. The natural vegetable-tanned leather patch features a stunning gold foil graphic of the three-headed King Ghidorah, and bright gold stitching contrasts beautifully against the dark indigo denim. Perhaps the most eye-catching detail is the rich, warm-toned gold coloured weft that subtly peeks through the dark indigo warp. This feature is great for cuff turners, instantly adding a striking pop of color. The jeans are finished with antique copper buttons, Godzilla movie poster pocket bags and the dual-branded label.
The King Ghidorah jeans will be available in the Super Weird Guy, Easy Guy, True Guy, and Strong Guy fits.
They will be releasing at Tate + Yoko and Naked & Famous Denim NYC October 2nd at 11am ET.
