Samurai Jeans

[Alex3000]

so the blue shadows up on BiG are indigo with blue stitching and what not, and the other pair is going to be all black? So basically a Black Knight reissue in 17oz denim?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah, kinda

The Blue Shadow is nice! They have "reverse hickory" denim next to the Blue Shadow without a pic - Anyone know what reverse hickory denim is?

[Flash]

blue shadows look great , would love to pick up a pair but i just bought my first house and i can see myself broke for the next year , the indonesian contest jeans look awesome the dual colour stitching realy makes me want a pair

[aho]

^Damn, Samurai is really tempting me lately...But mostly hyped for this contest already! 710 in zero denim is amazing though...

[rosenkruez]

I love the concept of blue shadow but blue stitching on the back pocket is kind of weird. So the black version will have black stitching all over? or just the back pocket?

[ranonranonarat]

where are you guys seeing pictures of the arcs? would like to see some before making a decision..

im currently torn between a pair of Ooes, Warehouse 660, Cloud Denim and this.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^you can only see a little bit of the arc

and another new Samurai collab. This time with Harlem store.

You can just catch a piece of it in the leather detail on the BIG site.

[ranonranonarat]

thanks guys. saw the hint of it. looks like a dealbreaker to me, everything else on it looks good at the moment but the arcs fall short and they are a bit too contrasty for their own good.

[lance]

I agree completely ran and think that's likely the reason BIG didn't offer a full shot of the back pockets. I like everything else about the jean - I guess an option is to remove the arc.

edit - another reason this community is so valuable - I'd have missed that detail, bought the jeans and been dissatisfied.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think don't showing the arcs is rather because of Levi's...

[ranonranonarat]

i guess it is an option, it really depends on how much you like the zero denim. haha.

[Sinji]

The color is really offputting. BiG, please don't screw the black version up with pink arcs or someting >.<

[lance]

yeah, good point bF - still, those arcs ugh!

[Wolfteeth]

Black shadow version pairs- 70% all black stitching, 30% golden stitching...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Black shadow will come in 2 versions.

one with all black stitching and black arcs, the other with contrast stitching and hidden arcs.

50 pairs each version

I don't think it will be a 50/50 split??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well..that's what Gordon told me some weeks ago

[whorichard?]

IMO, Gold stitching > Black Stitching.

ok..maybe he changed it. I think all black is better anyways

[Alex3000]

Man another all black pair sounds real tempting I miss when my black knights were actually black.

X-post from HDC thread...

Just over 6 months. 2 initial washes + 1 @ 4 months.

With my Devil's Fit on the disabled list following a sudden, season-threatening crotch blowout last thursday night, Sammies are off the bench pitching relief.

I had pretty much decided to sell these, not having really worn them in 6 months. They were always a little oversized on me, and that was before I lost a little weight.

Yet now they have a sort of full-on anti-fit thing going, a slight improvement from merely too big, so I'm having second thoughts. Plus they are rediculously comfortable.

[jaspar]

^They look good to me. I say keep 'em.

[morse9443]

I'm tempted by the new black pairs, but hesitant to stray from good 'ole blue. Plus tons of time left in the eternal contest...TRYING to talk myself out of buying new 710's.

[Alex3000]

Definitely go for the black 710's when you can Morse, I've been wearing my Black Knights alot more then my contest 811's but tomorrow I'm overnighting them back to Gordon to finally fix the crotch on that pair.
