Samurai Jeans

[royalcheese]

i would say go back in there and buy the muthufkg "goodbye 2009" jinzu...

[enojy]

those are vans authentics man. i'd return those if you still can, considering you likely paid around 800% - 1000% too much.

In his defense, the Era model doesn't come in a Black/Black colorway.

so that makes spending 200+ on vans ok?

theyre not vans. and if thats the case, we could say the same thing about jeans. Jeans, for the most part, look alike so why spend $300+ when we can just go to the mall and get some damn Gap Selvage or H&M selvage. some people want to buy what they want, which is why i and many others spend so much on certain things

[acidline]

how much better can those things be compared to vans though? seriously? how much did you pay for em anyway?

ehh he's got a point though, pretty hypocritical to diss on the shoes but hype out over the jeans, they seem innocuous enough.

I don't know how you could walk out of the HQ without denim though...unless there were too many sick pairs to choose between (not possible).

Easy answer... I already have way too many jeans, and, I just recently bought the Samurai 24oz. Also, whilst in Osaka I destroyed my shoes, so I just wanted a simple new black pair.

For the jeans, we could argue about the quality of the denim.

As for the shoes, they're both made of canvas.

do you man

did you happen to take any pics inside the HQ or was that not allowed?

[gonegonegone]

i personally wouldn't buy those shoes, but i don't understand the hate towards dhalgren. there have been much more ridiculous purchases than those shoes imho.

[itschrisb]

That seems alittle much for canvas shoes unless they were some thick heavy canvas that would last longer that vans. They look cool the canvas of the black ones has a nicer look than vans IMO. It's stuff like this that I don't exactly get about some clothing offered by companies. Like flannels and things how much different can they really be aside from heavier to justify a 300 price tag. Jeans I totally get and support but 80-100 t-shirts seems a bit of over kill.

Thumbs up on the shoes those.

[sell veg]

this is absurd. it is well established that expensive repro denim is not more durable than STF levis. To say that they are both made of canvas, so they are both the same (quality) shoes is ridiculous. People hype out over visvims... people hype out over all sorts of things. the myth that we buy expensive denim because it lasts longer or whatever was debunked long ago....

What brands are you talking about? Are you comparing LVC's vs. Samurai's vs Ironhearts or are you talking about other overhyped department store premium crap?

For me the gold standard in repro is Samurai, Iron Heart and Studio D'Artisan and Fullcount.

ed, is that s5000? jeans looking good!

[Alex3000]

less talk more pictures, anyway here my Black Knights little under a month.

[Guest nooblet333]

Beautiful! btw how much did you buy your pair for? ^^

[Alex3000]

mine were 304.90 but i ordered in July, now there 335 plus shipping.

[Guest nooblet333]

Yeah that's what I thought Thanks!

[Pi-tol]

ED is that 21oz 552 Jean Jacket? That jacket is beautiful, I have the same one. Also who wants to proxy me a pair of those Goodbye 2009 Jeans in a size 34??

[Alex3000]

i want to see that pocket flasher.

[dhalgren]

do you man

I thought it would have been disrespectful to even ask to take a photo inside the store. But funny enough, the calendar they gave me has a photo of the store...

The Goodbye 2009 jeans were front and center as you walk up the stairs... you can't miss em.

They also had a couple samurai swords in a glass case... I now regret not asking about them.

But, they did also say that there will be some special stuff coming out for the World Cup next year... we will have to stay tuned...

[SLAB]

dhalgren, where in Osaka is that flagship store? definitely going to check it out next time in Japan

[geneticdrifter]

so with gordon's new ordering policy, about getting other items from the brands they carry, you think one could special order something like the Good Bye 2009? or you think samurai would poo-poo that?

and lay off the shoes. SOME people actually buy what they want, not what others hype.

PEACE

Some 0500 up in the marketplace!(sz 34)

It's near a subway station called Nakatsu. It's actually a very short walk from Umeda. It's surrounded by residential and a block or two from train tracks. The only landmark I can remember right now is that it's near a Lawson.

more talk about your pictures, I too pre-ordered a pair of BKs and haven't been able to wear anything else since... they are gonna be a while to fade I'm thinking but if you're like me and step on your hems when not in shoes you should have a nice little preview by now.

can't wait to see these after they get torn the fuck up; extreme damage always looks awesome on blacks.
