I'm thinking of getting the Samurai 3000vx I generally wear 32x34 -- what sixe should i get. Are they sized larger and then shrink to labelled size like Sugarcanes. I don't want to buy the jeans, soak them and the have it too small. Any help and advice will be apprecieated.

if you want a slim fit, you could ould size down 2 with no probs, because the 17oz denim will stretch out ok

after a couple of washes, they do shrink to tag size though.

just got them in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fit is amazing, as is the quality. back pocket placement is perfect. i can't believe you let me have these for such a great deal!!!! thanks agian!

wtf mate

he has some cool stuff, but fit and over all style is sloppy sloppy.

that chain stich on those canes hem looks insane. and just so people know, the amount of wear on those sammys are are fucking nuts, i bearly put a dent in mine.

you should post a pic of the bk pocket bags, they are pretty coo

i have no digi cam right now

haha the pics just make the choice even harder, both differnt and crazy.

price? it looks dope

check pm. thankkkk ya

i don't think i rushed my judgement, as even though all that crap has happened to my samurai's, i still wear them everyday, fit is on point on them. but yeah, i'm basically explaining everything i did a few lines up.

I'll hopefully take some pics soon.

okinawa's in general are a more unique jean. as i stated many times, you cannot really compare the quality of either of them, as I'm sure both jeans will be close to on par with each other in terms of quality.

but in terms of uniqueness, yeah, i tip my hat to sugarcane. to quote history preservation "the textile specialists at Sugar Cane were the first in the world to produce a selvage-denim fabric made from woven cotton yarns and sugar cane fibers. Cotton and sugar cane yarns are dyed completely by machine in this specific selvage dungaree style, with the cotton and sugar cane being harvested from the Japanese island of Okinawa, hence the style name. The dyed yarns are turned into the prized, coarse-weave Japanese selvage denim on slow-moving, vintage shuttle looms from the “good old days†of manufacturing in the USA. Capturing the essence of true vintage selvage dungarees can only be achieved using vintage machinery, so goes the philosophy behind Sugar Cane, so it logically flows that this sumptuous selvage-denim fabric is lovingly crafted into the finished product by the most meticulous technicians using sewing machines from the 1920’s."

even the mix of cotton used is something new.

the front pockets on mine are a blue coarse weave material. the pocket lining is actually detailed fabric, and whatever the back patch is, it's insane.

to say that i have kind of written off my samurais because of a few thread breaks is ridiculous, because at the end of the day, its my samurais that i do wear. Samurai's aren't jeans to discredit either. weather you're talking about the blacks or the contest samurai's, well, the blacks have donut button, exposed coin pocket selvdge, and i wouldn't even describe it as slubby. too many people around here throw around the word slubby like it's their job and their point of reference is a picture on a computer screen. come feel the 19oz oni's or to a lesser extent the pure blues and contest samurai's and you'll know slubby. hairyness of the denim is fairly common in most if not all japanese brand jeans.....

exactly the answer i was looking for, thanks. most people just said "patch pocket, stictch" but not exactly why.

the s5000bk IS subby! just not to the extent of ONI or pureblues (i think those are too slubby, but non the less kick fucking ass). to me the 17oz bk denim is just about the perfect amount of slubbyness.

thanksgiving at my friends in detroit.

im always feeling your fits. keep posting

i think neckface is dope cause it makes me feel like i could kinda do that but not really. my drawings sometime look like his. its easy to hate him, but i think its just dope and crazy ugly which is cool.

sometime the world is full of people who try too hard, and i think neck face is just there to balance out the world for those people. i feel it.

that's like comparing apples to oranges. fits are different on both of them. okinawas are 47 cut, a bit fuller through the legs, the VX i believe is kind of like the SDA 103's which are slimmer through the thighs. As far as quality, I'd vouch for both in saying thus far they are both very high quality and you can't really say one or the other is better qualitywise. But i will say that wearing the contest samurais, some of the stitching has come undone, be it from the nature of the coarse denim or what. Nothing like that in my okinawas but then again, i don't wear them too often. Sugarcane detailing is a million times more, and a very nice touch, which samurais lack. but i like the fit of my samurais more. its all about personal taste and as far as judging these brands based on just quality, i'm not sure you can really do that

please explain how detailing is a million times better on the canes. i'm very curious. i think that threads breaking on the sammi's affected your judgment too strongly. is it the lined back pockets? felled seams? pathc?

my sammys blow my SDA's out of the water.

dounut buttons, upside down A, cool front pocket cloth, very smooth and heavy duty button's and construction, perfectly slubby denim, cool enough patch. the sammurai symbol on the back pockets acually has a bar tack build into it just for looks. the coin pocket has a tiny bit of exposed selvedge on the very edges, selvedge line has metalic thread. the rivits on the back pocket and front pockets are different slightly, you can also tell they were hand pressed. hairy denim, great leg twist.

just to compare:

sda: only grip is that construction doesn't work as smooth, buttons are generic looking and cheap feeling and jagged. 103 fit is awsome, but back pocket possition is a little wierd.

never handled sugarcanes, but it its better than sammies, than god damn.

SOLD thank you

To ppls who have been wearing these, how are your S5000BK going?

I've only got 2 weeks wear on these, they're more tapered than I like after a soak. The thigh area is quite tight, wonder if they'll stretch more.

i wished mine tapered more! i've been through two soaks and two machine dries. these 29's always stretch back out to 31. i kinda wished i got a 28 but oh well, still love these things, i will just pick up a pair of skulls for a slim pair.

black fade is starting to look real good! pics when i get a camara.

i like those white leather chucks with the zipper detail, anywhere else to get them? zappos sold out a while ago.

i like the shoes, but hate the way you talk.
