Samurai Jeans

[farmer]

That 24oz denim is crazy.

Anyone interest in a pair of 30x36 LOT 10 s5000bk's(arc's and tabs)? One wash maybe a month of wear. I'm not going to be able to wash these as much as needed and have them still fit they way I like if at all. Would consider trading for a pair of Sams in a 32-34 depending on the cut.

I hate clogging this thread, but I got some near pristine s710bk 19oz for sale. Barely a bite in 2 months, offer me something for 'em guys!

either those back pockets were put on the butt incorrectly or the denim is causing the top to fold awkwardly.

Denim is beautiful though.

I have a pair of 24oz as well and my back pockets are perfect... that's a fuckup right there.

You know. I probably wouldn't have cared about that shit a year ago, but after reading through Miz's posts and kuniyoshi's wisdom. That is unacceptable now, for me. I would definitely send those back. I assume it doesn't affect the jeans much, but when you're blowing so much money on jeans it seems like you got to demand top notch shit. No matter who is making it.

i think the pocket thing is probably due to the extreme weight of the denim. imagine how thick that shit is when folded over a time or two. i like the ethi coin. i read arabic, not amharic, but i know it when i see it...

mr.switch you're right, if you're putting up big coin for jeans(or anything else) you have to demand quality. kuniyoshi-san really opened my previously untrained eyes to noticing the details that a true shokunen won't ignore while making the jean. just like when i read miz's thread and i looked at the waistband of my sams(SO510xxx19oz2,lot 10), and i hated that the chainstitch didn't go to the end of the waistband. if i had've known better, i would've gotten something else. 45 rpm does the same thing with their waistbands, and for $500+per pair i think thats ridiculous.

doesn't make any sense salaami, as I said I have a pair that I've been wearing for almost a month and the back pockets are normal like any other pair.

The denim is heavy but not mindblowingly thicker than the 21s or anything....

my bad, i've been wrong many times before. let me shut my piehole. someone will get to the bottom of this.

Thought I'd post this unused wayw pic here... I love the 19oz bk denim and this pic shows it nicely. I wish I had the cash to buy or the time to wear those Black Knights. Those 24oz look great too pwing!

[Alex3000]

That makes me wish that the Black Knights would have hidden arcs.

[sense.]

HaGa have they been washed? they look great, those pics give them a graphite/silver-ish hue

[Mr HaGa]

^Thanks. All my other jeans I wash frequently, not these 710bk though. I'm afraid they will be too tight if I wash them, and I don't want them to loose too much color and look washed out either. So they just get warm light handwashes, 2 or 3 so far I think, another one needed soon.

put my 710s through a boiling 1 hr soak + machine hot wash. They finally fit slim!

Lot 12 size 32s. Presoak they measured 32 and were huge on me. Post this 3rd soak + hot dry, they are now 31 and fit slim. I have pre and post fit pics to show later

WOW got to play with a sample pair of black knights yesterday at BIG. Black on black on black on black...... nasty. Tried on a pair of the 24oz - the craziest denim I've ever felt. Getting them on was a workout. Gordon was wide-eyed telling me how tough it was to produce and sew denim that thick.

[unknownpleasures]

I'm assuming nasty in the good sense?

too bad we won't see more pics til late october nooooooo

[salaami]

HaGa's blacks are as good as any i've seen. i remember being told how hard the 21oz. denim was to weave, so i can only imagine about the 24.

Im looking to buy some s710xx2nd. im aiming for a slim fit. My true waist sz is a 30 and i wear dukes in sz 30. Would getting a tagged size 31 be good or should i go tts or size 1 down?

[kit99bar]

Fuck I'm torn between so many pairs right now. No pre-order for me. Gordon mentioned they should arrive by Halloween. They denim was made over a year and half ago, so it's really had time to settle - looks and feels amazing.

[Alex3000]

What do you mean by settle? Yea Gordon also told me that they should arrive around that time and that they're being sewn now so it just depends how fast they can sew them all together.

wallet i made out of samurai denim(19 oz. silver sword selvage) last summer. denim and thread supplied by gordon. one year solid wear, 1 wash. i figure i only need to wash a wallet once a year. the 'vertical'( i guess horizontal in this case) falling is beautiful, as is the fading along the spine. i'll get better pics later. the selvage lines the bottom of the interior.
