Samurai Jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah..pre-ordered in January, release was end of March and we all know that the earthquake made it difficult.

[blm14]

After a thunderstorm last night I went up to the roof to take some photos:

And figured I might as well bring up some jeans to show progress. These are the "wind" model, with about 3ish months of wear. they're on hold with the NYC heat, but they are fading quickly and will continue to do so I'm sure once I start wearing them again in the fall.

The spots on the back of the jeans are just some water from the roof

[beautiful_FrEaK]

damn...you can spend your "whole" day with Samurai and you will always discover something new. Haven't noticed this little selvage detail on the fly/waistband before

[Flash]

what model is that BF

[beautiful_FrEaK]

oh sorry, forgot the most important thing

S3000VX, the WWII model

[Flash]

nice one , still thinking of getting a pair but ill have to wait , just got a pair of fullcounts and had to pay £80 in customs fee's (the misses found out and she wasnt happy)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I talked with riff about the S3000VX and he is also on the fence to get one. It's surely an underrepresented (?) pair of jeans on here. Many people fear the bagginess I guess.

[Flash]

ive been looking for a ww2 repro for a bit now and i allways come back to the 3000vx's so i think there gonna be my next pair , was also thinking about a pair of flat head 3003's but i would have to look for an old arc pair on yahoo auctions

[beautiful_FrEaK]

maybe a further pic to convince you?

picture taken today. silhouette would surely look cleaner with cuffs (or a hem)

there are a lot of WWII repros out there. Some more authentic, some less. SDA brings out a new one every now and then and also FC does. The 3003 from Flathead is also nice but I agree with you on the old style arcs.

LVCs would be the most authentic ones of course.

The S3000VX is typical Samurai. You will find all the correct details on this pair but with a little added "Samurai-spice". Red herringbone poket material, bright and big painted arcs.

Just take a look.

Details on the S3000VX

Samurai-style donut button

Missing coin pocket rivets

Unfinished seams

Red herringbone pocket fabric (pocket bags are also smaller than normal)

Offset belt loop (not sure if that's a WWII detail)

A very peacefull leather patch

Gotta say, you do pull those off quite well imo.. It would look cleaner with a cuff, but still you are tall enough to pull it off without a cuff as well.

[Max Power]

I really like that fit of yours! Although it looks baggier than my 44s, it's still not as loose as it is spoken of. My 44501 also has very small pocket bags, the beltloop however is in the center of the back.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx. yeah the LVC ones are really slimmer. but imagine how a correct sized S3000VX would look on you MaxPower. you are even taller than me. I think size 33 would work for you here.

and thx Lax

[coleslawyum]

Don't how you pull those off b_F, but those look great on you. My 3000vx feels like clown pants on me. I think I need to soak them a couple more times before they settle down.

Speaking of which, I'll be getting some info on the Texas cotton this week. I'll post when it comes in.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx cole!

well I sized down one from my true waist and with the stretchy nature of the VX denim it's easy to make them fit nicely in th waist. they never felt uncomfortable. I soaked and then machine washed mine for max shrinkage. that worked but I wouldn't do it again (at least with my machine) because of unwanted fades after the wash...

looking forward to the inside info you'll be getting!

[Flash]

must spread BF , ive said it before but that is a great fit
