Analysis based on aggregated reviews from expert sources, Reddit, and YouTube.

Pros

+Same parent company as Naked & Famous (Tate + Yoko)
+14.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim at entry-level price ($88)
+Available on Amazon for easy purchasing and returns
+Hidden rivets, flat-felled inseam, chainstitched hems at this price

Cons

−Basic construction — minimal details and finishing
−Limited fit options — fewer choices than parent brand
−Stiff and rigid initially — 2+ week break-in period

Best for

Absolute beginners who want to try raw selvedge denim with minimal risk.

Common complaints

Buttons can feel cheap and construction is utilitarian — this is a starter jean.

Summary

The absolute best "first raw denim" recommendation. Made by the same company as Naked & Famous, the Unbranded UB201 delivers 14.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim at a price that makes it a no-brainer first purchase. Basic construction, but the denim itself is solid.
