Just picked up a sample pair of the 301S-14 , My first pair of Iron Hearts 

@Broark I think they look good. Although from your post sounds like you aren't crazy about the fit. Seems like you would like another style better. If you don't love them sell them. 

Some photos of my Left Field jacket. This is the unlined version. I have had it since August 2015. Probably a little over 1 year of wear. 14.5 oz. Collect Mills denim

these look great my bkb have slight wear need a hem got to rock triple cuff why these seemed so much longer than any pair I've owned or maybe that's just samurais in general..

might send them off to railcar.

keep us posted @sardonicsmirk be good minute before I get these back into my rotation

Thanks man. Yeah I have really want to hold off on washing these. I want them to stay as black as possible. I didn't hem mine. I did a kind of funky cuff. I have seen it called a chain stitch cuff. It takes up a lot of length and doesn't look bulky. Here is a shot of it.

Some progress photos of the 710-BKB. I would guess around six months of wear. They are in rotation so it is hard to say. No washes

Back Knee 

Cuff

@leftfield no still no rinses or washes. still pretty stiff too. i think the light the photo it was taken in makes it look a lot more beat up than it is. going to try and make it through the winter without washing it. with these 60 degree days in December I don't need another jacket this year.

Some progress photos of my unlined Mule Skinner Jacket. Five solid months of wear.

Yeah Loren does good work. Brooklyn Denim Co also does repairs

Samurai 711

so they are less skinny than the Hilt chinos? Still wish they made them a little less skinnier

I think they are actually a little slimmer than the Hilt. Mine have a 34 inch waist with 12.5 thigh, 9 knee, 7.75 cuff.

oh the glory!

Yeah I am very pleased with them. I got them for a really good deal. They were around $150 with proxy and shipping. Not much info on them online. I took a chance and it payed off.

These just arrived today. They are an older model of chinos that I think were only released in Japan. The model is called Old Glory. They are 9.5 oz indigo dyed twill.

edited photo to show the color better

I just got a pair of Stvenson Overall chinos proxyed from Suto and was very pleased with their service. Good rates and communication.

I found these online last night. I thought i would post it here if anyone is interested. LF Navy twill pants size 29 for $30, and Olive Japanese Twill size 31 for $49 http://www.thevoyagershop.com/collections/left-field

I am seriously considering picking up this MCJR15  http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-mcrj15-id/ it seems like a reasonable price for a heavy coat. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of Samurai's outerwear?

While I do love deeper contrast fades, those 711s look great! Anyone know if different washing methods yield more contrast or is that just how that particular denim fades?  Still heavily leaning towards getting a pair of 711s.

Yeah I actually used a soap that is designed to lock in the color. I also would prefer my jeans to last longer than to have crazy fades so I wash them probably more frequently than others. I went six months before washing then the second wash was after two summer months,

711's 8 months two washes

Yeah I might grown to like them more. I ended up getting $580 worth of shirts for about $140 yesterday. One of my better days of shopping

Wow, that is a fucking steal. Not huge on that shirt, but for that price I would instal-cop

Yeah I am not crazy about the snaps. I may take it to my denim tailor and see if I can get buttons put on. If not it makes a cool lighter weight jacket to wear with a t-shirt underneath. But yeah for $68 I couldn't pass it up.

How did you get it for $62?

All the sale items are 75% off in store. I guess it was $66 not $62

just as a heads up Blue in Green has a lot of Samurai stuff on sale at 50-75% off online. Mostly tops. All of it is 75% off in store. I just got this http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=15607&category_id=93&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=62 for $62
