Samurai S5000 CX

[abstraktgeformt]

Samurai announced a new limited edition on their website. Limited to 200 pairs. I can't really figure out what they're all about, Google Translator tells me something about 'sulfur-dyed'... dunno.

[emaze]

wow those look pretty interesting...

[headtowall]

I like the purple tab.

[justinbaily21]

I love how creative they are without being overblown like Evisu. Great company.

i couldn't find a price/release date. anyone?

[cheapmuthafukr]

hmm.... i want grey denim, and samurai is on the top of my list as far as any jeans go, but i dont know if id spend that much on grey denim.

it will probably be around the same price as the other 5000 models.

S5000CX appearance!!

Large popularity model S5000VX in the base, last year confidence was won to is the special jeans which adopt the 17oz color denim of [biichino] “S041CPâ€. The iron-made pine no wooden button which adapts in the zero series, all earthly things mutable sleek even and so on is of course adopted.

Also the size development silhouette is the same as S5000VX.

* Limitation 200!!

Of course it is the special model limited to of this time!

The site says 24,990 yen...

[Brienneoftarth]

keep the forum posted on a release date.

[drofhiphopology]

samurai makes too much ill shit.

This looks like the same/similar denim used for the ltd. edition jacket from 2006. It appears to be available on D-Stock now.

Isn't sulfur that yellow rock that smells like rotten eggs?

most don't

[No -]

BK's are sulphur dyed also..

[gimmegimme]

most don't

Ah...I didn't know that. I guess I kept reading about Rakuten buys all the time and assumed they all did...but I guess I forget that many here aren't NA's. Which one's do?

[wingnutsglory]

well, as you said, rakutan does. i've ordered from them and been really impressed. if i order wednesday, the package arrives by saturday.

i haven't had any experience with others....

But I thought Rakuten wasn't a store itself, its like yahoo shopping...just the overhead to several stores. I'm confused now. :confused:

look at the options for buying japanese denim thread.

[swooc]

shit must resist......my resistance is at a low since i just sold a pair of samurais :/

just noticed the tag has the swords sheathed. i love how samurai changes these small details in their leather tags not to mention the already kick ass samurai theme going on.

[LaiShin]

the color is so light. If it fades, would it even be noticable?

I dig the color though.

[Guest superhomo]

do these fade?

[tweeds]

interesting note about sulphur-dyeing (if it is indeed sulphur), since IIRC sulphur is used as a quick darkening agent in the dyeing stage during production.

i need to learn to read japanese.
