Even Dryer Denim: Naked & Famous Snowpants

Snow pants…not the most fashionable clothing option in your closet.

Thanks to those wacky denim scientists at Naked & Famous, the same team that brought us “scratch ‘n’ sniff” denim, “stainless steel” denim, and thermochromic denim, we now have an excuse to go play out in the snow.

Naked & Famous uses unique and rare fabric imported from Japan, but they manage to keep their prices reasonable. They might have old school practices when it comes to creating the perfect pair of jeans (they refuse to create washes or embroider pockets) but that doesn’t mean they lack a sense of humor. “How boring would it be to only make great dark indigo jeans? We love to create things that are special and unique that nobody has ever done before,” said Brandon Svarc, owner and designer of Naked & Famous.

The “Snow Pant” from Naked & Famous looks exactly like your favorite pair of slim, dark, denim jeans. “We made the Snowpant jeans because we love products that are fun, crazy and useful,” Svarc said.

They are wind resistant, lined in bonded, nylon fleece material, and the best part – they have a waterproof coating, which will keep them, and you, dry as bone. No hypothermia here.

The zippered and Velcro ankle opening will help you get these bad boys over your snow boots – or ski boots. You can now snowboard in style (with out that annoying swishy sound every time you take a step).

So get into that snowball fight without worrying about looking like you have control problems.

What are dad jeans and should they be in your denim rotation?

Here we are. We've come full circle. Sit down kids, gather around the fire, and let me tell you a tale of yesteryear. The year was 1999. I know, ancient times are important. We in high school didn't have cell phones, mostly. We wrote notes back and forth in class. We walked home from school so we had time to talk to our friends. We knew how to get to places in town and there was no Google Maps. More importantly, Christina Aguilera came out of nowhere, Napster threatened to destroy the music industry, and Keanu Reeves was a relative unknown about to learn kung-fu from a computer. We also wore some awesome denim called dad jeans. What are dad jeans, you ask? well, let me take you back.
What are dad jeans?

The new dad jeans fad is inspired by the men's denim worn by the fathers of millennials and Gen Z back in the early aughts when The Sopranos was a must-watch, iPods were the size of compact cars, and brick-and-mortar stores were the only place to buy clothing.

What is that saying? A dog is a man's best friend? We're pretty sure that saying had to have happened before the gold rush and the invention of the jeans. Because a good pair of jeans is, without a doubt, a man's best friend. They can be bum-around-the-house wear. They can be dressed up for the first date. Dark, light, colored, faded, slim, straight, you name it, and there is a pair of jeans for it.

Every guy has that go-to pair of jeans at some point in his life, but there is an entire world out there that they could be leaving behind, and we want to talk about it. Here, we get the chance. We're going to dive into the different denim styles and washes of men's jeans to familiarize you with. Then ... maybe go walk the dog ... we don't want him thinking he isn't your best friend anymore.

We're a fan of men's style. We're a fan of science. So when the two collide in stellar innovation, we can nerd out a little bit. DUER, an innovative denim company that we have spoken to before, found a way to catch our attention again with a scientific innovation in their new Performance Flannel that not only regulates your temperature and feels great, but uses an honest to God Nobel Prize-winning fiber to do so.

"Graphene caught our attention as a Nobel prize-winning nano-fiber with exceptional performance properties that don’t impact a fabric’s weight, breathability, or soft feel," said Gary Lennett, CEO of DUER. "We’ve integrated graphene into our Performance Flannel to provide enhanced thermal regulation— keeping you warm when it’s cold, and cool when it’s hot. Added to that, it fights static and keeps clothing fresh longer, marking a significant step in the future of textiles."
