FS: Samurai SO500XX No Wash Size 34

[AF Dan]

These were purchased about a month and a half ago from Blue in Green in NYC from Gordon. They are brand new, never been soaked or washed, only worn once. Size 34, hemmed to a 33.5 length (chain stitched by Gordon). I love these, they're slubby as hell and just plain sexy, but they don't fit. Asking $200.

Arcuetes were removed and then pockets were steamed (by Gordon). You can't even tell they were there.

The S0500XX uses 100% Texas cotton which is famous for being a "rough" cotton due to it's high amount of short fibers. Normally, the short fibers are removed to make a smoother fabric, but Samurai adds more short cotton fibers to make the yarn even rougher. The result is a yarn that is highly uneven in size, making the woven fabric very "slubby" (irregular). Moreover, while most jean manufacturers mix different cottons from various areas, Samurai uses only 100% Texas cotton in the S0500XX. Even the thread is made of 100% Texas cotton. This creates a jean that captures the essence and spirit of this tough Texas denim.

Like all Samurai jeans, the S0500XX uses 100% pure indigo with no fillers, using the maximum amount of indigo that the yarn can hold. Weighing in at 15 ounces, Samurai also maximized the tension of the weave, so that after washing, the denim actually becomes even more stiff and the weave even tighter. This is the first time Samurai has done this, resulting in a jean with unprecedented "atari" (fading).

be careful cause these shrink like hell

[Kamikaze]

Damn. I am interested but don't have that much.

Are there pictures around of the fit on these?

[truestorytravis]

So these have been hemmed not shrunk? That sounds like it could be a problem.

[AF Dan]

check the samurai contest denim thread, because these are the same style, just a different lot number.

So these have been hemmed not shrunk? That sounds like it could be a problem.

Gordon said they will shrink to 31.5 length. Good for relatively not tall people like me.

[AF Dan]

Any interest? Open to trades, willing to budge on price if you're nice about it.

[AF Dan]

pretty please someone buy these. me = needs cash

[AF Dan]

these need a new home!

[fogg]

I'm interested, but I think you're going to have trouble trying to get that close to retail price for a pair that has already been hemmed pretty short.

Can you post an actual waist measurement? And what would you be looking for in trade?
