Blue Owl are based in USA while Okayama are based in Japan, hence the price difference.

Okayama automatically mark the value down to completely avoid custom charges. I have never ordered from Blue Owl, but I assume that they are like all the other western retailers with good reputations and will not do that. No harm in asking them though.

I personally would go for the BOM012 as that grand indigo dye looks great and very rarely for a momo, it has unsanforized fabric! You can see the character of the denim is completely different to anything else they currently offer. The reason I have not plumped for it, apart from the fact I don't need more jeans, is that when you add shipping, customs charges (inc. potential duty charge), and courier admin fee for customs, it just becomes way too much.

Great, will be good to see how it evolves. Any plans on making the jacket into production run or not yet?

Good info! I never knew such cotton existed. Good to see a more environmentally cotton resurface again.

I think I'm gonna look into getting these. Have they released any jeans in the 108 cut already? Wanted to see what measurements were like from elsewhere

Okayama Denim also has a collab in the works with samurai.

Orslow 107 getting some vitamin D.

Yea SDA lately have been coming up with top notch stuff (ignoring the ultraman collab stuff).

This new denim is very interesting, especially that 'coyote brown' weft.

Thanks Lance.

To be honest I would prefer if it was slightly shorter

Iron Heart type 3 horsehide leather jacket that I picked up last year. It is an absolute beast of a jacket! the leather is really thick and unbelievably nice.

holy shit those look good!

@rodeo bill How are you getting on with the Whopper jacket? Any evo pics?

i miss the old black warp white weft denim...

Is that denim not gonna be made anymore?

I'm sure i've seen xx-005 black denim in a few shops still in stock.

I can't stand reddits format. Give me classic forums anyday.

cross-post from 3-sixteen thread. My shadow selvedge jacket.

Took this couple weeks ago when sun was out. Started wearing again now that it's late spring and temperatures have gotten warmer

Looks especially boss in the last pic!

@BrownMetallic those are looking good! I thought these were quite tough faders, but you're doing quite well with them.

one hell of a friend you have there cmboland

Really would like their type 2 jacket because of their denim, but it's really expensive

Good stuff! I am wearing my pair right now. Lovely denim and nice fit. My summer jean of choice for 2018.

ah ok. I like the smaller sizes as they are nowhere near as wide as the larger sizes. Only if I could fit in one.

good to know other samurai t-shirts are not as heavy as this

wow @julian-wolf the fit is perfect on her! Do you know what size she is wearing?

Picked up a Samurai t-shirt. It is awesome. Thickest and densest t-shirt I own. Mostly normal print, but then the tiger is like an iron on print made of felt(ish) material. Fit is a bit wider than i'd like, but good enough.

I would definitely pick up another Samurai t-shirt in future. I don't like probably 99% of their designs. Lot of their designs are way over the top

Yea looks good fit to me as well man. Very nice pickup!
