Spotted a pair of these super-rigid, heavy selvedge denim jeans by Montreal-based Naked & Famous the other day, and couldn’t wait to take them home with me. Unfortunately, the store was sold out of my size. These jeans could be the closet thing to going bulletproof, with a stiff, thick denim that contains 20% Kevlar, which is five times stronger than steel per weight. Talk about a strong pair of jeans!

Available in Naked & Famous’ popular “Slim Guy” fit, these limited-edition jeans feature a mid-rise, with a slim, straight leg. Only 350 pairs of the Kevlar jeans have been produced and — like I found out — they’re selling quickly. The jeans are available at Barneys in New York and select Holt Renfrew stores across Canada.
