Samurai Jeans

[Knugget]

Actually - Jin denim and the new low rise would be a dream...

Ohh just the thought of that. Damn. Smaurai has recently been spitting amazing stuff. What to choose...

[cjbreed]

so what does everyone see in their sammies that makes them so good to you?

honestly i dont see the fit on sammies as good as other brands like pbj, iron heart, fh, etc. (they look too loose in the thigh, a little flaring, something off in every photo ive seen of samurai)

what makes them so popular here? thanks.

for me, it's the denim itself. i see what u mean about the fit though. i had a hard time finding the right fit so i actually bought some 5000VX's and had them tapered to my own specs. and they are bad ass i must say.

[beatle]

LOL..I'm gonna wait for a lowrise 15 oz...

Isn't that what the new lowrise is?

Fit should always come first.

Yeah, I agree its silly to keep a pair that you don't like the fit of. (I got rid of my otherwise amazing Evisu No1's for this reason)

But really, if you like the material THAT much...

And remember the only thing that matters in that choice is how the person wants them to fit.

[skistar]

damn cjbreed... that's almost what I should do, not a bad idea. I only owned my 710's for a long weekend but samuari denim is somethng else, they just felt solid as can be. Hoping to size down a couple next time, might go with the new 710/2nd too, I'd love a 19oz pair but 14-15 is brutal enough during the summer...

this is something i will be dreaming about until it actually drops. If it does, i mean.

[sell veg]

bumping this. does anyone have any more info on these? if i'm reading google translate correctly (which i'm probably not), it looks like these might be 15oz zero denim? i'm digging the details like the pocket shape/stitching and the different rivets, but i would have liked to see something other than the zero denim.

not bad but nothing great too...

looks like samurai's first true original jean. i remember reading they wanted to stray away from the repro vibe. everything is all original... new patch, new rivets, new flasher style, no red tab, no levi's-esque arcuates, etc. patch is a bit on the generic side IMO, i like the old one better. appears to be modeled after the 5000 cut but seems to have a higher rise especially in the front.

ummmm...... the back pocket is very lee esq and so is the general shape of the back pocket. i believe those are the new leepros they are coming out. correct me if im wrong.

[enojy]

yeah true. i noticed that also, but didn't see any similarities beyond the back pockets. i figured it it were meant to be a leepro, they would've just re-used their own imitation of the lee arcuate. but it does very closely resemble it. i used babelfish to translate the page and got the usual... an essay of cotton jargon... although i liked this bit.

"The places of interest full load which is tackled from one at the time of everything super you adhere and it is the model!"

"we make these high rise in case you have big schlongalong like american movie star mick jagger."

[sell veg]

yeah, they certainly seem to be inspired by lee, but they look like RHT and the pocket shape isn't the same as their leepros. in any case, these should be cool.

[emmitbrown]

The back pocket shape says lee, but it's RHT. And it appears to have hidden rivets instead of the X bartack. It has wrangler style rivets, and exposed selvedge. I agree that they are trying to start a 'non-repro' line, and this is the first in that line (it is called Samurai Jeans Original Denim).

anybody know what the difference is (if any) between the 610 (Texas / 0500X denim on a 710 cut) and the Samurai 2nd collab?

[Atzec]

610 has a lower rise than 710. 2nd collab is same cut as 710.

They both have the same denim as the 0500 (texas cotton). The 610 is low rise/slim fit, and the 710 is mid rise/slim fit.

Some mediocre pictures of my USAs I just washed. Lighting in the room sucks. Some pictures with flash, some without. Nothing too exciting, I guess, but I really like how they are turning out (wanted something more subtle). Started in March, but not worn every day throughout the summer. Too hot. Original hot wash/dry + 3 washes.

[snatch]

Just got my 710xx today. Awesome - I like them. Ordered from BiG - very nice guys, they marked the value at $100, so the customs was not that bad. They did even so without me asking - nice people

[MdavE]

Picked up the 510xx 10 year anniversary model this weekend... posting picks after soak

[Solix]

Finally had the time to throw up my 0500's up in the market sz 34 x 32. If anyone is interested, lmk!

[Dochunter]

price is on the site

25,830

use a google translator to read the description.

use the measurement chart to figure out the measurements on these. i dont see the rise on the chart so your shit out of luck there unless someone has these which maybe ed does.

samurais are raw. these are the ones that were posted by ed a couple weeks ago that i was referring to. a 2ndxsamurai collab.

im not sure where you were looking but they are listed in the model description 2nd post in the model lineup on the first page they are listed

go true to size and you cant go wrong. size down one and you should still be fine if your going with a slimmer look.

hopefully all your questions are answered now. its really not that complicated and its all a part of buying jeans online without being able to try them on. its a crapshoot sometimes especially when looking for a cut that isnt of the norm (bootcut)

Chan, you've been very helpful. Thanks.

Anyone know what the rise on these is?

[fur]

quick question,im thinking about getting some 610's but i feel as though the waist might be a bit tight,if i don't do any initial soaking or washing,will the waist strecth alot?

[sbbbjm]

fur -

its shrink to fit denim . . . . you want to soak them . . . unless you plan to never ever let them touch water

my waist naturally measures 33 in. i bought the 32, soaked em for 30 min then threw them in a hot dryer to get all the shrinkage out. they fit a bit snug (had to lay down on the bed to button) but have stretched out to perfection and have the perfect fitted, regular fit.

btw it was just the waist that was tight. the rest of the top block was fine. these, like most japanese fits have a bit more room in the hips (which explains why you always get hip flare if you don't have junk in the trunk with japanese repros or based ons).

size 1 down if you want a nice fitted look. go true to your waist if you want something a little more slouchy.

I was wondering why the inseam for these denims are so long

[anhtice]

thats a diff story. since the jeans are heavy and 'mold', the long inseams produce stacking but never realy touch the floor despite being long

[coleslawyum]

^^^ It's for all you tall mfer's…

[deadpan]

thats a diff story. since the jeans are heavy and 'mold', the long inseams produce stacking but never realy touch the floor despite being long

wtf? 123456

[chantheman]

thats a diff story. since the jeans are heavy and 'mold', the long inseams produce stacking but never realy touch the floor despite being long

this makes no sense. denim that stacks will still drag on the floor. just because they are stiff doesnt mean that they will stay stacked in place.

[fur]

ok so last question,according to big's measurements the 610's should shrink .50 in the leg opening,can anyone confirm this,i need a size 30 because of the waist but i find an 8 inch leg opening to be a bit to big for my liking...

[jermzkill]

Ok, no one really answered why they were so long. Is it because of stacking? I'd love to buy these but 36 is way too long 34 is pushing it for me.

[youkinorn2]

have them hemmed...
