Samurai Jeans

[Mild7]

Saintkeat: Im a true 33-34 waist, but went the 34 for a slightly looser slim fit. Hopefully it will work out as as well as yours have. This cut sounds pretty versatile, im a fan of low rise even if its not so fasionable right now!

Trevorplease: Sure can. Probably have them in a week or so, will post fit pics before and after soak/s.

yuck yuck! I just stumbled onto the 2009 s8000s photos on Rakuten right before seeing these here. What were they thinking? The 2009 model was so much better in its simplicity. Can anyone compare the 8000 cut to the others? Is it fuller like the 510s?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they are slimmer in the leg than the 510

5 months, once washed with thunder soap

[Planetarium]

Really bummed that I didn't snag the proper size in time. Incidentally, size 28 Blue Shadows for sale or trade for a 29!

[saintkeat]

s003jp-a barely over 4 months in and there's another rip. 4th rip in 4 months so far. this one on the corner of the left back pocket.

[TheNorthern]

those blue shadows are the tits

[tropicalbird]

Those are signs of quality! Keep it going saintkeat!

Interesting news.

But the brownish pocket areas are looking a little bit strange to me

Those new Samurai's are fucking terrible. They belong in the ugliest jeans thread.

Slab, yours are looking great however.

I'm right with you. What's making it sadder for those of us outside of Japan and not privileged with seeing all these cuts in person is that they did this to the 8000 model that I am very curious in seeing more. I suspect this will kill all demand for the 8000 cut to be introduced in greater numbers to the west. To those of you who have it. Which of the other models does it most closely resemble?

Same question goes to the 7000 model.

[DeForel]

Slab, amazing work!

the contrast is awesome

[kit99bar]

Samurai going nuts with weird contrast denim. Why?

[saintkeat]

I don't think they look that bad to be honest. certainly not for the average street commuter. I think they fit someone who is a farmer or a leather artisan. a work place that has a lot of brown. heh.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

^^I'm also not a big fan of contrasted jeans either

^^^^And Slab:

Really great work done on them, congrats!!!

All fadings at the right place and still tons of life left in them!!

Go rock them for some more years to come

Some of Samurai jeans in Take 5 Thailand Contest

they have around 19 pairs of them for the contest and most of them are really nice !

So I choose the one I like most and take a pictures to share to SUFU

[Flash]

That 16oz denim looks realy nice , kinda gutted i didnt get a pair when i had the chance

[aho]

^really demonstates the extremes/strengths of Samurai denim...good stuff!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

nearly too extreme or the lighting/camera setting is a bit strange.

but you, really great effort put in those jeans. and the 16oz geisha denim is really great. i hope we will see it again soon on another pair of men jeans

[saintkeat]

plalai04 - how long was the contest for? the contestants sure put a lot of effort into this!

[justinzden]

samurai 710xx 19oz tag 33,hemmed to a 35 for sale. Looking for a tagged 32. worn for about 2 weeks,no fades,rips

[swiss-jeansfreak]

plalai

Thanks for those super great contest pics!

They really look amazing!!!

And they still have quite a lot of life left in them. What great opportunities for those pants to reach the Holy Grail status without any doubts with some more heavy wear. Or is there even a name for beyound the Holy Grail Status?

[Seething Tortoise]

I started wearing my S5000VXs again recently on account of losing a lot of muscle mass over the last year. I've probably worn them more this week than I have done in the last 2 and a half years.

I forgot how good the slubby, thick denim feels. I'm not going to lie, I do wish that the waist was a little wider so that they'd sit slightly lower and for the hem to be slightly smaller, somewhat akin to my SxSExDB09's hem and perhaps a bit more thigh room so that I could still wear them when I eventually bulk out again. But for my current build, they are almost perfect.

IIRC, the S0500s would probably fit the bill of my ideal fit (a bit more give at the top; a tad slimmer at the bottom), but they only came in 14.5oz?
