Empire State Selvedge | Naked & Famous Denim NYC Shop Exclusive
Introducing the Empire State Selvedge, Naked & Famous Denim NYC’s first exclusive jean. The State Selvedge features several design elements inspired by city from which it’s named after. The denim is a classic weight at 12.5oz’s, woven in a broken twill construction. Broken twill is a combination of both left and twill and right-hand twill. With New York being a cultural melting pot bringing so many cultures and walks of life together all in one place, we though a broken twill would be the perfect choice to represent that. We also opted to use American grown Supima cotton. Supima cotton is an extra long staple cotton meaning it’ll provide a soft hand feel as well as a more durable fabric, New York tough some may say. The orange, white and blue Selvedge ID represents the colors of the NYC flag. To tie it all together like a billboard smack in the Heart of the City. We have beautiful leather patch with artwork done by revered artist Alvin Lee. It features a reimagining of our classic tragic blond donning the Liberty crown. And inscribed in graffiti we have New York strong. This is all on embossed on a vegetable tanned leather that will patina nicely with age.
Not only did we want to create something that represented New York, but also a special souvenir, something for you to remember your trip to New York City by. That is why this jean will not be available online but will be an in store exclusive at our 123 Grand St Soho location.
The Empire State Selvedge will be available in the following fits, Super Guy, Weird Guy and Easy Guy for men’s as well as our Classic, and Max fits for the ladies.
