[350poundhotcakes]

ive been looking for some samurai jeans, but other than throughout rakuten, ive bee unsuccessful, and i dont feel too comfortable ordering from a japanese site that i cant even begin to comprehend. does anyone have any idea who sells them here in the states? really interested in a slim dry black pair, preferably selvage...any suggestions? help put me in the right direction, cos im at a loss right now.

There are none.

you can get people off here to buy them for you man.

[asfberg]

there aren't any black ones at the moment, slim or otherwise

[asfberg]

google translate, [email protected] and djrajio are all there to help you

but not for new black ones

maybe someone will be selling theirs on yahoo auctions

if you want to wear in a black pair you should get fullcount 1474 or ironheart 634B.

They are dyed with indigo first and then overdyed with sulfur to make them black. When they fade the blue will shine through.

this is a pre-distressed pair but you can see a little blue shining through

they fit like this

These are also dyed blue first and then overdyed black, I dont know which type of dye though.

ironheart.co.uk has 1 pair of these for sale for cheap, maybe you're lucky and it's your size.

^ those last ones look real nice...which ones on the ironheart site are they? and do they have a black or white weft? much appreciated all.

i guess ill broaden my search to a slim fit black selvage denim...hopefully i can locate some without the need for a translator.

a cyberfriend of mine just ordered samurais straight from the samurai site------shipped to germany. she was going to go through a bidservice but that would have been a few bills more. does this work for 'mericans?

I ordered my samurais directly from Samurai too.

350:

check these out too, flat head 4001

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/2nd/fh-4001bk

measurements here http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bears/theflathead-3001/ though Bears' measurements are usually a bit off, but it gives an idea.

The Fullcount 1474s are also slim but not low rise.

the Ironhearts I linked are dyed blue and then I think they're garment dyed black, so the weft is black as well. They have a pair on their Specials page.
