Samurai Jeans

[dawei94]

I posted awhile ago but did not really get a response. So I'll try again: what model would be the most representative of the samurai brand? I have a friend who is travelling to Tokyo and Kyoto. I see on the BIG website that only a few of the models have back pocket stitching and a red tab. Would all models in Japan have this detail? I have been looking at the "water" model but would like it with a red tab and stitching. Would this come standard in Japan? Sorry if this is a dumb question and easily answered by reading through the thread...I just don't have time or patience to go over 1000+ pages on an iPhone.

In Japan, all of them should have the arcs and tab. The S710 and S5000 seem to be the most popular cuts here on sufu, but which one you get should be up to you based on what kind of fit you're looking for.

reference for Samurai would be the S510 cut. They choice of denim is yours (15,19,21 or 24oz).

after that, the S5000VX is probaböy the best selling Samurai (not based on Sufu but Samurai's total sales)

Yes, they will all come with a red tab. SOme with yellow contrast arcs, some with clack stealtg arcs. This depends on the model (19oz denim always comes with black arcs IIRC) and depends on the lot# (lot13 has black arcs on every model)

Pistol, dawei & freak + rep. Concise and helpful info much appreciated. Hopefully posting some pics of a Japanese "water" pair soon.

Quick question.

I missed out on S710BKs when they dropped. I really want a pair now or something similar at least. Any other new cuts from Samurai that are like the S710 and come in black? I need black denim!

[Guest nooblet333]

Nothing really then ^^ Try other brands?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

only S5000BK is available in black. you could taper them

Was afraid that was the answer really want another pair of sammies.

Oh well! PBJ would be decently similar I hope?

Flathead also offers some decent black denim...but I'm not so sure in which cuts and how they fit

Iron Heart!! Just like samurai! (Not really, but similar!) Heavy denim 21 oz on most or all jeans! And offers in black + superblack. (Of course original Indigo.)

There was talk here (many pages back now) about the 17oz black denim showing up in a 710 cut for BIG. Was this just a hopeful rumor? I never saw any evidence of it.

[Guest nooblet333]

If only the S710 black knights could come back =(!!

It wasn't just a rumor, I emailed Gordon and he confirmed that it was happening, but they were supposed to get them in around mid-March I'm not sure what happened, unless it has something to do with the tsunami.

[kit99bar]

Supra good fit but that looks very TTS to me.

The 17oz black denim is very interesting, in for more info!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well then just for BiG again? They are definitely not on the official S/S-collection

[lilfatsupra]

Trust me its not. I'm 5'6 170 lbs and these jeans are a size 29...

I too am interested in this 710 black denim...

Since my ande whalls are out of commission for a bit, I've been wearing my black knights everyday for 4 months. Any and all hesitation I had about these has gone away. Love the fit. Fading like a champ. In my experience, if you want black denim that fades beautifully, don't fuck with anything other than samurai.

I'm only a few weeks away from swapping into my S5000BK's for the summer, so reading your post was music to my ears poly.

[Alex3000]

Yeah I put my pair of Black Knights back on the other day fell back in love with those. Still have my pair of jins that have been sitting on the shelf really looking forward to wearing those.

i recall you saying that you lost buncha weight and that's why they look like they do now. are you saying that you're a true 32 now?

[gimmegimme]

Since I started this thread, I thought I should post in it once in a while...

An update on my 5000vx's, Lot 10. Worn on and off since...07 maybe(?) I don't really wear these much anymore cuz I got fat. Sorry for the blurry pics.

[sense.]

edit, didnt read

sick stuff gimme

[dawei94]

skidded down half a flight of stairs in my S710 today. Surprisingly, no damage to the jeans, just slight fading on the left shin and right knee. Also surprised how little skin scraped off my shin.

Wow. That doesn't seem like you've sized down 3.

Everything looks fine.

It wasn't just a rumor, I emailed Gordon and he confirmed that it was happening, but they were supposed to get them in around mid-March I'm not sure what happened, unless it has something to do with the tsunami.

Damn, I should sell something if this happening.
