Naked & Famous Denim
Easy Guy Stretch Black Jean Tapered Fit
This product is a pair of men's tapered-fit jeans from Naked & Famous Denim's Easy Guy line, made in Canada from 12 oz. Power Stretch deep black Japanese denim. It features a five-pocket design, mid-rise waist, and a straight-to-tapered leg silhouette with extra room in the thigh, intended for casual everyday wear. The stretch cotton fabric provides flexible comfort, but note that user feedback indicates the denim can stretch with wear and shrink after washing, so size selection may require attention.

Product Insights
The Easy Guy Stretch Black Jean is Naked & Famous Denim's only tapered cut within its extra-room line: more room through the seat, hips and thighs than the Weird Guy, then a sharper taper below the knee, built on the same 12 oz Black Power Stretch denim (95% cotton, 5% elastane) shared across Easy Guy, Weird Guy and Super Guy. It is mid-weight rather than a heavyweight, so it holds structure instead of clinging, and because it ships raw and unwashed yet carries 5% elastane it skips the stiff break-in and is comfortable from day one, with a plusher hand than the brand's 2% stretch black selvedge. The core promise is color retention rather than fade development: black is dyed on both warp and weft with fade-resistant dye, so it holds black instead of breaking to grey; tonal black stitching, black non-reflective rivets and waist button, a full-grain black leather patch (not paper jacron), and a black interior on rolled cuffs and the inside leg mean no contrasting thread or pale undyed cotton breaks the color. Wear lightens first at whiskers, knees, hems and pocket edges, reading as break-in rather than defect. Construction and provenance: Japanese-milled denim cut, sewn and finished in-house at the brand's own Montréal factory for consistent fit and stitching, at 205 CAD for fabric and construction rather than ad campaigns or factory-applied fades; it is not a selvedge build (that is Solid Black and Black Cobra). The tradeoffs are explicit. It runs large, with many buyers sizing down one or two and measurements varying by fabric; the stretch fabric expands up to a full size with wear and snaps back, and a first cold wash tightens the waist and thighs slightly across the width while inseam length barely changes. The fade resistance that preserves the black also means it will not develop high-contrast fades, and at 5% elastane hard daily wear without rest fatigues and thins the fabric faster than lower-stretch denim. Five black waists, 28 to 36 in even steps, are all in stock at the same 205 CAD with no size-based premium, and the record itself is filed at waist 28 while defaulting to Black, so buyers needing 30 to 36 should confirm the selector moved; the 32 in standard inseam (plus or minus 0.5 in) allows a single rolled cuff, with some Easy Guy colorways offered in a 36 in long inseam, and hemming is a free vintage chain-stitch when buying direct. Care is cold washing inside out with the fly fastened on a normal cadence, then air drying, never machine dried or hung in direct sunlight.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Roomy through the seat and thigh with a sharp taper below the knee for athletic builds, with more room through the seat, hips and thighs than the Weird Guy.
- Cut range
- The only tapered fit in Naked & Famous's extra-room line
- Sizing
- Runs large — many buyers size down one or two, and measurements vary by fabric.
- Stretch recovery
- The stretch fabric expands up to a full size with wear, then snaps back; a first wash shrinks it slightly across the width.
- Shrinkage
- After a first cold wash the waist and inseam tighten slightly, then relax back out with wear.
- Dye technique
- Dyed black on both warp and weft with fade-resistant dye, so it holds black instead of breaking to grey.
- Fade zones
- Lightens subtly at creases and edges over years of wear and washing, reading as normal break-in rather than a defect.
- Interior color
- Rolled cuffs and the inside leg stay black, not pale undyed cotton.
- Fade resistance
- Built to stay black through wear and washing, not to develop high-contrast fades.
- Break-in
- Raw and unwashed, but the 5% elastane removes the stiff break-in — comfortable from day one.
- Hand
- Softer and plusher in the hand than the brand's 2% stretch black selvedge, and noticeably softer than raw 100% cotton denim.
- Fabric weight
- 12 oz mid-weight denim holds structure rather than clinging, far below the brand's heavyweight range.
- Stretch durability
- At 5% elastane, hard daily wear without rest fatigues and thins the fabric faster than lower-stretch denim.
- Washing
- Wash cold and inside out, fly fastened, with minimal detergent.
- Drying
- Air dry; never machine dry.
- Made in Canada
- Every pair is cut, sewn and finished in Canada at the brand's own factories.
- Craftsmanship
- Cutting, sewing and finishing happen in-house, for consistent fit and stitching.
- Provenance
- Denim sourced from Japanese mills, with all assembly done in Canada.
- Raw finish
- Ships raw with no pre-distressing or factory washes, and the 5% stretch means no stiff break-in.
- Hemming
- Free vintage chain-stitch hem on denim bought direct from Naked & Famous.
- Hardware
- Tonal stitching, a full-grain black leather patch, black non-reflective waist button and rivets, and a classic five-pocket, zip-fly build.
- Value
- The 205 CAD buys fabric and construction, not ad campaigns or factory-applied fades.
- Selvedge
- Not a selvedge build; the black selvedge Easy Guys are Solid Black and Black Cobra.
- Fabric platform
- The same 12 oz Black Power Stretch Japanese denim (95% cotton, 5% elastane; not selvedge) is used across Easy Guy, Weird Guy and Super Guy.
- Leather patch
- Full-grain black leather patch.
- Denim weight
- Mid-weight 12 oz Japanese denim, 95% cotton and 5% elastane, not the brand's 18-40 oz heavyweights
- Options
- Five Black waist variants, 28 to 36 in even steps, all in stock.
- Size availability
- All five waists 28–36, in stock at the same 205 CAD — no size carries a penalty.
- Default size
- The record is filed at waist 28, so buyers needing 30 to 36 should confirm the selector moved.
- Inseam
- 32 in standard inseam (+/- 0.5 in) allows a single rolled cuff; some Easy Guy colorways offer a 36 in long inseam.
- Sanforized
- This denim is sanforized, so expect only minor shrinkage — roughly the 1–3% range Naked & Famous cites for sanforized fabric — after the first wash.
- Dye transfer
- Raw denim can crock onto light-colored surfaces when new, but the fade-resistant black dye makes transfer less pronounced than a typical indigo raw, and it fades after the first wash.

All-day wear with flexible comfort
Made from Power Stretch 12 oz. deep black Japanese denim intended for flexible comfort, these tapered jeans pair a classic black look with an ultra comfortable stretch cotton build. A good fit for days when you want denim that moves with you, whether you're out and about or settling in for a long trip.[2]
Extra room through the thighs and seat with a tapered leg
The Easy Guy cut is aimed at people who want more space in the upper regions of their jeans, with a slightly higher rise and more room in the seat and thighs before a strong taper below the knee. A long-term owner of the black stretch Easy Guy version describes it as made for guys with thick thighs and big butts, and reported years of wear with no crotch blow-out — an individual experience, not a guarantee.[3,4]
Daily wear over years, according to one long-term reviewer
A shopper-facing example of wearing the Easy Guy stretch black jeans as a long-term everyday pair. One reviewer reports owning the Easy Guy jeans for more than three years — nearly four by their account — with no signs of crotch blow-out or fraying. This is a single reviewer's reported experience with their own pair, not a guaranteed result.[4]
A tapered black jean with a clean ankle line
These Easy Guy jeans are cut with a straight-to-tapered leg that narrows toward the ankle, suited to wearing full-length without cuffs. In the product photos, the hems reach the tops of the shoes with minimal stacking and only mild creasing, while the waistband appears mid-rise and sits flush with the model's waist. The rear view shows a natural seat with the legs falling straight to the shoes.[5,6,7]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Easy Guy Stretch Black Jean Tapered Fit: Choose this if you want a relaxed tapered fit with extra room through the seat, hips, and thighs, then a sharp taper below the knee toward a 7 inch leg opening over roughly 12 inch thighs. The 12 oz. deep black Japanese Power Stretch denim (95% cotton, 5% elastane) is intended for flexible comfort, and one long-term Easy Guy stretch owner reports no crotch blow-out or fraying after more than three years of wear. Made in Canada in sizes 28 through 36, though one owner of a different Naked & Famous stretch fabric notes a bit of shrinkage after washing, so fit may change once laundered.[1,2,3,4,8] | Indigo Easy Guy Selvedge Jean Tapered Fit: Choose this if you want a tapered, mid-to-high-rise jean in authentic raw 12 oz Japanese selvedge denim (98% cotton, 2% elastane) with a deep indigo wash, ochre topstitching, five-pocket styling, and Canadian-made construction that denim enthusiasts report holds up and improves with wear. One review analysis reports the Easy Guy fit runs 1-2 sizes large, so sizing down from your usual is recommended to avoid a baggy fit. Note the button fly, which users who prefer zippers may find a minor daily annoyance.[9,10] |

Fit advice and washing note for Black Cobra Easy Guy
I'd stick with this size. I've also got the Black Cobras, and they do shrink a bit after washing. I'd assume you'd even get more after the dryer... These fit looks good IMO, maybe considering hemming as well, but do it after washing
