Samurai Jeans

[Warakia]

Damn that is good indigo retaining! Regardless, lovely pair of Sams and a great fit on you! I like how the arcs really seem to pop on that pair.

[detto]

If I understand correctly, those have LHT on the right leg, and RHT on the left leg. Same idea as on the Americaya x Samurai s610vxj. I wish they were a different cut. Oh well, I know lots of sufuers love the 500 cut.

what is LHT and RHT?

these are back on rotation for fall/winter:

'talk about natural indigo jeans having reputation for retaining their color, these mofo doggedly latch on to their indigo like a pitbull. 1.5y/o = 8mos [approx effective wear] = x8 soaks = n0 wash.

it's prolly how the yarns were weaved so tight together__ every after soak, the damn jeans seem to reset back to almost new condition__ like having bigtime focus/attention disorder, lulz. but, i'm not complaining. it means that i'm getting my money's worth. all i know is that, everytime i put them on, i'm banking ataris [a few strikes @ a time]__ payback is when i decide to wash.... muuuahahaha!

How is the stitching holding up on those?

Samurai s5000AI-10SP

Nuk1- nice repairs; what kind of sewing machine are you using? Looks like a vintage Singer.

So like on some SDA? Interesting.

I think the 0500 is a great cut and not often enough used. Some alternation after all the S5000 Element models. What would you prefer?

[apples]

These were the first lht one side rht the other afaik (http://item.rakuten.co.jp/americaya/s610vxj/). I was pissed when I missed out on the last 33 like 2 years ago (lol). I'm pretty sure the 23oz SDAs came after these.

Interestingly, if I recall correctly, it's better to put the lft on the left leg and the rht on the right to ge better whiskers. Both the s500JX-LR and the s610vxj have it the other way around though (:confused:).

Living in Australia has it's downsides. One is all of these beautiful heavy-weight jeans are released just in time for summer, which are hot to say the least. I don't think I'll get the 500-lrs, but the denim on the wind model is awfully tempting. May cop them and taper (I think straight leg jeans look retarded on me). My sewing machine may struggle with the 17oz though..

b_F: the 500-lrs or one of the elemental models? Or these and an elemental jacket?

[kit99bar]

wooohoo, must spread before giving BF rep again :D

only thing I want different is golden arcs but no biggie

Now, THAT interests me even more than the Take5 collab. Damn you Samurai!!!

If I understand it right it is 18oz LHT Texas Cotton denim. Will come out between November and December

edit: There's something special about how the LHT is put together:

from the Samurai websho.

All in all that's the pair I wanted the Sufu-Contest Jeans to be!

[edmond]

what cut is that collab??? and what denim?

SDA had Xmas special editions with lht + rht much earlier!

[apples]

^^s0500 cut I believe. A special edition and not a collab. 18oz lht and rht combo.

^ I said as far as I knew.. and now I know further

So did you get SAT510 from Take5 ?

Now I'm soaking them.Tomorrow will start to wear them beside my IS jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think Take5 is the only place he could get them...

Looking forward to some more pics of your pair! Hopefully your account is ready for more pics.

[pyrotech]

do samurais from rakuten come with arcs? in the picture of the 710's it doesnt seem like they have any

That's because they are black.

[coleslawyum]

Or as the people at Samurai call it, 忍び…

[jstavrin]

I'm considering a pair of Samurais as my next pair of jeans. The model that the OP describes as their loosest cut has a smaller thigh measurement than my size 34 Denime XXs, which fit my thighs perfectly. Now, I noticed this pair on BiG that has measurements that will work for me, but it doesn't say which model they are:

http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=2688&category_id=&manufacturer_id=10&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28

Is there a heavier version of this cut? 15 is still a bit heavier than I've ever owned, but i think 17 might be more interesting.

One final question: does Samurai make jeans that only have a tab?

[Flash]

go with the 3000vx for looser cut in 17oz denim (ww2 repro)

allways wanted one

[jstavrin]

Unfortunately BiG only has measurements listed for up to a size 33, which definitely isn't big enough. And I'm not a huge fan of the lack of rivets on the coin pocket.

[Flash]

the 510 comes in 19oz but no 17oz (i think there was a 2nd collab that used 17oz denim but there most likely sold out)

[mitchL]

the 510 also comes in 21oz and 24oz rht and lht

[Bomull]

Any info on S0210XJ?

Of what I understand the fit is similar to the s5000 models.

But how much do they stretch? Downsize or TTS?

According to BIG a size 32 is really a size 33 and shrinks approx. 2 inches.

[jstavrin]

the 510 comes in 19oz but no 17oz (i think there was a 2nd collab that used 17oz denim but there most likely sold out)

Ah, thanks for the information. Do you know where I can find measurements for the 510s? The sellers on Rakuten don't seem to list the thigh width and BiG doesn't have them.
