Naked & Famous Denim Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Jacket is a classic denim jacket built from a fabric known for softness and strong vertical fading. Cut to fit comfortably through the chest and arms, it keeps a traditional denim jacket shape while offering practical everyday wearability.
Made in Canada from 13.75oz Japanese selvedge denim, the fabric is indigo rope-dyed and woven on vintage shuttle looms in a left hand twill construction. With wear, this weave is designed to soften and develop pronounced vertical fading, giving the jacket more character over time. Finished with contrast stitching, silver metallic buttons and rivets, slash front pockets, chest flap pockets, inner pocket bags, a full grain brown leather patch and blue selvedge ID, it is a dependable piece of Canadian-made denim outerwear.

Naked & Famous Denim was founded in Montréal in 2008 with a clear mission: to challenge the premium denim industry by stripping things back to what matters most. No celebrity campaigns, no artificial washes, no pre-distressing and no unnecessary decoration - just exceptional raw Japanese denim, carefully cut, sewn and finished in Canada. Founded by Brandon Svarc, a third-generation garment maker, the brand quickly built its reputation on honest construction, obsessive fabric sourcing and a refreshing sense of humour.
At the heart of Naked & Famous Denim is a deep respect for heritage denim craft. The brand works with prestigious Japanese mills known for their skill, history and fabric innovation, producing raw selvedge denim that is built to be worn, broken in and faded by the individual. From classic shuttle-loomed fabrics to unusual textures, weights, colours and yarn blends, Naked & Famous Denim celebrates the character of denim in its purest form. Every pair begins as a blank canvas, allowing the fabric to develop natural fades, creases and wear patterns over time.
What sets Naked & Famous Denim apart is its balance of uncompromising quality and playful creativity. Alongside its core raw denim styles, the brand is known for developing bold, unexpected and often experimental fabrics that push denim beyond the ordinary. This mix of serious craftsmanship, Japanese fabric expertise and tongue-in-cheek personality has made Naked & Famous Denim a favourite among denim enthusiasts who appreciate both tradition and originality.
Selvedge denim takes its name from “self-edge”, referring to denim woven on traditional shuttle looms that create a narrow, tightly finished edge designed to prevent fraying. Long before it became a marker of premium denim, selvedge was simply the standard: tough, dependable fabric made for hardworking garments. Its roots sit firmly in late 19th-century workwear, from miners and labourers to the early blue jeans developed by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss & Co. in 1873, where durable denim and copper rivet construction helped shape one of the most recognisable garments in clothing history.
What makes selvedge denim special is not just how it looks, but how it is made. Traditional shuttle looms weave slowly, passing the weft thread back and forth with a shuttle to create a denser, more characterful fabric with its own texture, tension and irregularity. These subtle variations, often seen in slub, nep and surface character, are part of the appeal. Unlike modern wide-width industrial denim, selvedge is typically produced in narrower rolls, making it slower, more limited and more costly to manufacture. That slower process is central to its value: selvedge denim represents patience, craft and a respect for the fabric itself.
Although mass production saw many mills move away from shuttle looms in the 1950s and 1960s, selvedge denim found new life through Japanese makers in the 1970s and 1980s. In Kojima, Kurabo developed the first Japanese selvedge denim fabric, KD-8, which was later used by Big John for the first jeans made entirely in Japan. This commitment to recreating and refining vintage American denim helped establish Japan as one of the world’s great centres of denim craftsmanship. Brands such as Studio D’Artisan, Denime, Evisu, Fullcount and Warehouse carried that heritage forward, building what became known as the Osaka Five and helping shape the modern culture of artisan denim.
Today, selvedge denim remains prized by enthusiasts for its authenticity, durability and ageing potential. The coloured selvedge ID, often visible when the cuff is turned, is a small but meaningful detail that connects each pair back to a lineage of mills, makers and traditional production methods. More than just a fabric, selvedge is a celebration of heritage and craft — denim made with intention, designed to be worn hard, broken in over time and shaped by the life of the person wearing it.
