Samurai s0210xj

[Charlie Delta]

Surprised nobody said anything about these yet, Samurai's 2007 model.

Seem to be BlueBell repro's., but they have the Lee style arcuates.

I really like them, they have all these quirky details that set them apart from all the Levi's inspired stuff. They seem fairly slim with a low rise.

I like 'm!

Just thought I'd throw them on here.

Pictures nicked from Samurai.

[Charlie Delta]

I'll throw in those weird pics of the whole jeans for the sake of it

[superBobo]

looks really cool, and MUST be a wrangler repro. felled outseam, those rivets and the coin pocket and such... low-ish rise seems a bit weird though. But no broken twill?

[Charlie Delta]

^You're right, I didn't even think of that. Well Samurai doesn't seem to be too accurate with their "repro's" they just seem to throw the details they like together.

I would've like to have seen a Wrangler inspired arcuate though.

[joey_formal]

i dig the wrangleresque detailing and what not but i agree i would have like to have seen samurai take on the wrangler arcuate too

[Charlie Delta]

Also not sure if I'm very fond of the placement of the leather patch, should've just stuck with where Wrangler has it since that looks much better imho.

Unless there is some old Wrangles model that had the patch all the way up the pocket.

The wrangler back pocket looks like hell, imo. I'm glad that they kept the Lee S. The jeans look interesting... Not a huge fan of the patch or exposed rivets, but I love the coin pocket, bottons, denim, etc. The fit looks odd.

i like these alot, not enough to get them but i still like them alot, love that leather patch. i dont like the lee style arc, it looks like the same left hand denim used on the 'lee-pro' so that might be teh reason for it. but if i had to choose i would get the warehouse repro, or the edwin, or in other words the actual wrangler one.

if they DID do the wrangler arcuate in samurai-esque style...

it'd look like wu-tang.

Love the denim. Don't love the attention to detail. It looks like a 1/2 assed repro. Studio D'arti X-26s blow these out of the water.

'Half-assed' howso? I could see that if you mean they're definitely NOT a faithful repro of the Wranglers, but Samurai always seems to go with a kind of a "roughly inspired by:" approach anyways.

[joey_formal]

those sdas are crazy, i love it "worn by champion pigboys"

[choice_genes]

those samurais look great!

Woah, I really like these. They might be my favorite pair of Samurai's. If I had money, I would definitely try to pick them up.

I was googling them, and then I came accross a japanese superfuture.

If you look at the Samurai inspired lee repro (so110xj), you find a some nice lee details. No back procket rivets but nice tacking, left hand twill, samurai spin on lees lazy s, and of course lee back pockets. It's a little different, but not boring.

For the 210xj, I hate the color of the buttons on the fly, the "lee" samurai backpockets, and I think they could have made the leather patch more interesting. I'm not really nittpicky, but these things make the jean a shit sandwich.

I usually love Samurai's special editions, but this one missed the mark. I would rather pick up the 47' MW from Wrangler over the Samurai model.

If I was on the market for a new pair I would consider these. The making on thos d'artisans look like absolute top quality but I prefer samurai's take on the design.

Ah, you seem to have the same perspective as I do, the details make or break a pair of jeans! I love SDA because of the patch, W BB simply for the bell graphic, Momotaro/Japan blue because of the patch etc.

I think the 0210 is nice, I like the details etc. My only complaints is that I'd have liked to see a new type of denim for it, and the rise should be an inch higher.

The fit is the same/very similar to the S5000&0110.

The best Lee&Wrangler repros are made by Warehouse in my opinion, but they are many years old and sold out. The color of the Edwin Wrangler denim is quite bad in my opinion, I know a guy who's been wearing a pair for 6 months every day and there's no fade whatsoever on the whiskers and combs, only on the backpockets and seat.

Those rivets look REALLY uncomfortable... the "nipple" is on the inside of the jeans? Wouldn't that just poke into your bum the whole time?

Other than that, pretty good looking.

[jaspar]

I'm sure SuFu will hate their gimmickry, but I also think these are dope. Samurai's newest collab with Take5:

[drofhiphopology]

i gotta agree. i'm a big samurai fan but those SDAs kill these sams.

the rivets don't have a nipple, as on the S0110XJ. Personally i prefer my 110's to these, I don't like the exposed rivets or the coin pocket, as well as the combo of Lee lazy S and wranger leather patch. They are still a really interesting jean though, samurai crushes details like nobody else. Plus, if the denim is the same as the 110 it is really incredible, like no other jeans i have handled/seen.

[bruised]

the cut on the sammies look the best though. (IMO) best as in most modern, boxy, slim.

[watchman]

it definitely is. My S0110XJ is i think the only samurai cut i really would be happy with, it is an awesome slim straight leg. I just wish the leg opening was a little smaller haha.

[jaspar]

Do these have especially angular, slanted pockets (more in the Wrangler style), or is that simply the angle of picture?

If the rise is like the 0110xj's, it's not really that low. More like a mid-rise.

Any ideas where I can get a pair of these in Japan?

Wrangler Jins 5 months, second wash and sun dryed. They look a bit darker in the post wash pics because they're probably still sorta wet (patch is still dark so I'm guessing it is)
