  1. Hello all,

    Leaving on a holiday very soon and need some extra funds so I'm selling my sams.

    Will take pictures if theres interest, but they are basically brand new, I've only ever worn them once and that was just to go collect the mail outside my house.

    Soaked and then Washed once, 90% of shrinkage is done, the jeans are still dark as hell. All sams need to be washed anyway.

    SOLD SOLD SOLD

    Waist: 16"

    Front Rise: 10.5"

    Inseam: 36.5"

    Leg opening: 7.5" (19cm)

    This pair still has arcs and still has tabs, pretty rare now days. I even have the flasher if you want it.

  2. Nudie RRDS

    Not exactly cheap at retail, but can be found online for a decent price, nice smooth and shiny Japanese denim, its a little bit lightweight, but worked wonders for me in the aussie summer. Slight bootcut and low rise, looks good on pretty much anyone, size down 1. Fades great, mine went to a very slight greencast after a few washes.

    Samurai s5000VX

    Rise was very low compared to my other jeans, denim was very stiff and heavy after I soaked them but got soft very quickly. The denim is very slubby, not as dark as I thought, could be from the increased grin of having 17oz denim. (More exposed weft) Didn't shrink much with many hot soaks, has to be washed hot for full shrinkage. Cut was a little bit too straight for me, I prefer a slight taper. Size down 1, stretches a lot.

    Samurai 710 19oz

    Heavy and slubby just like most of the samurai range. Feels slightly heavier than the 5000, rough texture to the touch, denim colour wasn't as rich of a blue as I had thought, again not as dark as it could be because of the grin. Rise is high and they taper a fair amount. Amazing details, I stayed true to size. Fit tight.

    The Flat Head 3001

    Denim is very dark and very blue, has a very unique hue. Slightly slubby but very hairy. Medium rise and the fit was very tight in the thighs, a true straight leg imo, not much if any taper. Ass was anti-fit, the crease pattern the 3001 created for me was different to most of my other jeans. I sized up to account for the tight thighs.

    Imperial Duke (Indigo)

    Straight slim cut, very high rise, extremely stiff and smooth and not hairy at all, similar to the RRDS material but thicker. Large backpockets and very long inseam, no chainstitch though. Felled seams throughout and selvage goes all the way to the top of the jeans. Stretch a fair amount but I wouldn't recommend sizing down. I got my true size. Creases set in very fast. Patch was ridiculously thick and awesome.

    Evisu 2000 No.2 Made in Japan

    66 repro, so high rise, hip flares and tapering leg. I've got the tiger selvage version so mine are greencast, the denim is slightly slubby and hairy. Fades out fast imo and creates an awesome vintage crease pattern in the lap with thigh whiskers and nice blocky honeycombs. Inseam shrinks about an inch after you wash them. Cut is regular/slim, hips are quite loose but its a repro after all. Some amazing details on these jeans, extra strips of canvas in the pocket bags, half lined pockets, crotch rivets etc. Bit expensive but much more value than the no1 denim imo. I sized down 1. I could go down another 1.

    Skull 5010xx 6x6

    Texas cotton, but none slubby denim. Shiny when raw, hairy once soaked/washed. Very dark and a nice medium weight for all year round wear. Medium rise and fits regular in the butt, not ass hugging but not anti-fit either. I found the cut more suited for me than the FH3001, looser in the thigh and with more taper so it actually looks straight on me. Shrunk up probably a half-1 size after I hot washed them, still very dark and fade ridiculously fast. I sized up one, but could have kept my true size for a tighter fit.

    Denim Junkie 501XX (heavy version)

    Absolutely crazy details, reverse denim pocket bags, leather stumped rivets, double leather patch, double chainstitch hem etc etc. Slim cut but the slight bootcut put me off. The heavy version is a little different to the original, more 501 like, straighter and with more of a hip flare. Denim felt very thick and stiff, creased great, Rise was high, mine were too big, I'd say size down or keep your true size, they shrink heaps though. Beware of a short inseam though.

    I have owned other pairs but they are mostly nudies or other misc. brands. So far this is most of the pairs I've attempted to wear in.

  3. The colour on those is probably the nicest hue of blue/indigo I've ever seen on a raw pair and I usually hate the look of natural indigo. If samurai made it in in a slimmer cut I'd be all over it.
