Samurai Jeans

[spitfiredealer]

Suspect a lot of moneyed folk in NY have no issue with paying BiG prices and not even considering going to Japan directly.

Seems fair to pay the asking price if you want to try before you buy.

 

 

This.

 

Plus it's only going to be people on forums who go get them direct. I got mates who like raw denim but wouldn't ever dream of ordering from Japan.

Instant gratification__ It's all about the joy of shopping ... "free-basing" for the denimaddicts

.

Agreed, it was nice to actually try on multiple pairs and pick the one i wanted this weekend at big instead of shopping from a pictures and measurement tables.

[Flash]

this is a bit of a long shot ( since ive been looking the past few weeks and cant find a single pair ) but does anyone know of anywhere that still has the Samurai kids jeans in stock ? fingers crossed

 

EDIT ( specifically the SK0510 )

Actually that's the one Detail that I would think will annoy me the least. The Gold top button and the weird arcs are worse IMO.

i could live with the gold top button, even grow to like it.  But those thick, ropey arcs, no fucking way.  bad choice if you ask me.

I would think that once one colour is removed they won't look too bad, or I suppose remove them altogether. I think the back pocket rotation will be the most noticeable feature. It will really set these apart when they start to fade, perhaps in a good way.

Haven't been working on these too much but renewed dedication to seeing if I can get these to fade.  Interesting colors.  Kids will aid in knee fade.  10th anniversary natural indigo (20 dips) with bamboo weft.

That fabric is beautiful Lowrider.  Crazy that the jeans look pretty roughed up but not faded a whole ton.

Yep, these shits are damn impossible to fade.  More fabric rips and tears than fade.  But I got a chance to see a pair of faded natural indigo jeans (24 dips) the other day - a retired pair from the owner of 45rpm.  Gave me hope.    

[itsbenhere]

Those are magical. Could I see a shot of the weft? 

 

It's the bamboo that makes it look all crazy right, not just that it's natural indigo? Maybe the combo of both is what makes it like that...those are so killer. Props for working hard on them!

I think it's indigo.  I have a pair of KMW AWA and it's the same thing - the knees have rips but hardly any fade.

I see denimio has the 710 24oz available. Safe to assume the measurements are going to be the same as the standard 19oz model? Their size charts dont seem to be incredibly accurate... 

[Max Power]

That's because they use the standard Samurai chart that never changes. I would size up if in doubt as the denim is super heavy. But maybe they will actually measure for you.

[Jambol]

I got them in size 34, but are a bit too tight for me. I think washing or soaken with is even closer. This is perhaps on the short narrow section.

[Max Power]

^would you please post measurements of the 34?

Hello,

[beautiful_FrEaK]

are those measurements post-soak or pre-soak?

[Jambol]

The measurements are taken as a new pair of jeans, a week and few days. Not inaugurated and not before soaked.

[VivaMarlon]

Got a pair of 710s for sale, size 31. Unworn, only been hot soaked if anyone's interested.

[dylanbooth78]

these are a couple of years old now and are starting to need a few repairs, washed whenever needed.

Waddup peeps, I was fortunate enough to get a pair of Samurai s710xx24oz early from BIGsoho. Will post fit pics in a bit.

[slavo]

A lot heavier compared to the 19oz ? Can't decide between these and the 16oz

Just think the 24oz may be unbearable in London during the summer and on the underground

[Max Power]

I find even the 16 oz too hot for european summer...but it's 8months till then

IDK man, I live in michigan and we get temps from 32C all the way down to -35c and I had no trouble with 17oz red clouds or 19oz samurais in the summer. Common sense prevails, if its hitting 30+c im going for shorts. I would go for the 16oz OG (im assuming those 16oz jeans) just for something in the middle.

[xchen]

You're in Michigan. You get temps in Fahrenheit

[smittydadon]

I'll keep it as simple as this. 24oz or go home lol. Nah all jokes aside it's windy as fu€k in nyc so it's not bad.
