20oz - Dirty Elephant 14 Selvedge - Strong Guy

The Elephant 14, also known as Dirty Elephant, is built from a 20oz super heavyweight Japanese selvedge denim that feels dense, gritty, and unapologetically stiff right out of the gate. This fabric combines the raw mass of the Elephant series with the unmistakable character of Dirty Fade Selvedge, one of Naked & Famous’ most celebrated core denims. The warp yarns are rope-dyed in indigo but spun from naturally dusty brown cotton, giving the fabric a muted, earthy tone even when brand new. With wear, the indigo slowly fractures and flakes away, exposing the brown core beneath and creating fades that look worn-in, grimy, and organic rather than high-contrast or flashy. The result is a heavy denim that ages with depth and nuance, rewarding patience with complex, layered fade patterns.

Finishing details reinforce the rugged feel, with contrast stitching throughout, a thick 5oz vegetable-tanned leather patch that darkens and cracks over time, a red white red selvedge ID, and weighty silver metallic buttons and rivets that feel purpose-built for fabric this substantial.

Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size 33 in these. They have that nice hefty, crunchy feeling we love from raw denim and drape accordingly. He sized down one from what he normally wears in the other fits to get a proper look on these Strong Guys. This is one you really want to focus on the waist because the width of the leg allows the rest to fall in line. Tommy is 5'9", 165lbs with a 33-34" waist. 

*The Strong Guy is a relaxed straight fit; high rise, fuller in the seat and thigh that falls to a wide leg opening.*
