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.

Devil Dog Dungarees returns in style as your new go-to denim
High quality, great fit, and durability provides possibly the last pair of jeans you'll ever need

Every man needs a good pair of jeans. And since most of us are creatures of habit, we find a brand, we find a fit, and we don't deviate from that. Once we find our comfort zone and become accustomed to a specific style, fit, and brand, it can be difficult to convince us to move. While there are dozens of denim brands to choose from, everything from the prohibitively expensive designer brands to the flash-in-the-pan "value" jeans, one brand is fighting its way to the top: Devil Dog Dungarees.

Beginning in 1948, Louis Rosenstock dubbed his products Devil Dog Dungarees because they were "Tough as Marines." Drawing on his own military service, he endeavored to build a company that reflected his ideals. His grandson, Jeff Rosenstock, now behind the wheel of Devil Dog Dungarees, told us, "In 1948, World War II had just ended, and he was feeling extremely patriotic. He wanted to launch a brand of jeans that really kind of stood for Americana, for durability, and strength."

Denim might be one of the best fabrics known to man, and few pieces are more essential for a man's wardrobe than a pair of classic blue jeans. But as much as we love it, there's no denying that some of the best aspects of denim are also some of its biggest drawbacks: Namely, that thick, canvas-like cotton weave isn't always the most breathable, flexible, or most well-suited to active lifestyles. DUER looks to change that with its L2X Performance Denim, made for all-weather wear, including -- yes -- hot and humid climates.

Since warmer weather is headed our way -- well, for most of us anyway -- now's the perfect opportunity to stock up on outfits and apparel for the hot summer months. You might be happy to know that for a limited time, Manual readers can take 15% off the entire line with the checkout code MANUAL. Just pop that promo code into the appropriate field at checkout and you'll see the discount. We've picked out some of our favorite performance denim options below, as well!

There are certain iconic items that every man should have in his wardrobe: A perfect white T-shirt, crisp khaki trousers, an awesome pair of boots, and white canvas sneakers are at the top of the list. The reason they are archetypal is that each is available in a world of variations so any guy can bend them to his own personal style. Is the T-shirt billowy or long-sleeved? Do the khakis have pleats or patches? Cowboy, desert, or work boots? Classic Chucks or Vans? The same goes for another must-have item, the denim shirt. From reliably masculine Western styles to workwear-inspired silhouettes and limited-edition designer versions, the denim shirt inspires a certain cocky confidence in just about anybody who wears one. Here are just a few of our favorites to round out your wardrobe for 2022.
