Samurai Jeans

[Joweee]

Anyone have any experience with reserving with Kaizoku Pirates?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yep..just write him what you want. I can't guarantee that he will reserve it for you but he did for me (that said, I already bought around 10 times from him)

[Joweee]

yea i reserved a pair already and sent him the money but he didn't send me a confirmation email or anything so i was just curious.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well, then just write him and ask if he received your money just as a confirmation.

Hi guys, long time no post for me. I just bought a new pair of Samurai 15th anniversary left hand twill. I just want your opinion on the fit? I felt like take5 BKK hemmed it half an inch too short. That said, these are low rise and I haven't really broken in long enough to judge how it turns out.

 

 

 

what do you guys think?

[Max Power]

^they are soaked? Fit looks great then. If not, they might end up being too short.

[john11f]

they're soaked.

[Max Power]

Looks good then. I'd prefer a little more inseam as well, but it doesn't look critical.

[BrownMetallic]

long time, john11f...glad you're still @ it.

[john11f]

thanks BrownMetallic. yes long time. very long time. what's new around here?

Anyone know if aikidou ships to the US? I did a check but couldnt find anything. Any help would appreciated.

[Foxy2]

Looks like Aikidou only ships to Japan, but if you use Rakuten Tenso it should not be a problem...

[bradl]

Hey Foxy, how's that t that you got from 2nd? Going to grab it when they re stock 'em.

[bradl]

Going to be getting a 7.75 - 8" hem with a 31 or 32. 

 

But yeah, that's going to be the one to go with if you're thinking Samurai.

Trying to stack some options for my next pair of denim. Was thinking black denim this time around.

 

I want;

 

Roomy thigh, tapering fit (7.5ish hem)

Forbidden details (a**s and t**s)

Trying to avoid alterations of possible

 

I normally wear a 31-32

 

Am I safe to assume 710BK would be the best option when going with Samurai? Sorry been outta the game for awhile and not privy to recent news. Thanks.

 

I'm pretty sure the 710bk was a limited release. Blue in Green is apparently coming out with a collab 710 in 17oz black (the black and yellow hawk model) but that was supposed to be done in May and there hasn't been any news in 4+ months, so who knows

Aikidou has shipped to me in the States before. They may have changed their policy though...

[Max Power]

Aikidou never responded to my orders / mails, so I bought via sutocorp from them.

 

@ Tigerprawn: Besides the mystery black hawk you could also take a look at the IH 555-03. I own one pair and they should be exactly what you are looking for, at least fitwise.

Love it!

Fabric is certainly on the heavy side - very close to a thin lightweight sweatshirt.

Got a size L - normally go with M for Samurai tees, but it was a good decission to go 1 size up with the thick fabric.

Pre-wash measurements:

Chest 19"

Back Length 25.5"

It felt like it didn't shrink much...

Will take post wash measurements later and maybe I'll manage to get some fit shots taken today...

[1fookntitefd]

does the 0500 have contrast arcuates or black arcuates? 

[Max Power]

The current Lot of the 0500 has contrast arcs, a few older Lots featured black arcs on all models. Now they're back to just do them black on the regular 19 oz models (710, 510, 512BC).

Awesome, stoked to see some pictures of it. Do they run small? Can't seem to find a sizing guide on the item page, and haven't had a sam t before.

 

Weird that 2nd is only store that carries that tshirt though...

[louisbosco]

my samurai s5000 25oz fit. after hem. sorry for the bad quality guys, only when i uploaded it did i realize.

 

[1fookntitefd]

Samurai 500XX 19 oz, multiple soaks, no real wash.

 

This is easily my favorite pair in HWDC 2! Is this fit the same as the 0500 fit or another pair in Samurai's regular production line?

[Max Power]

Thank you very much! Unfortunately it seems as if the cut was a lot wider than the usual 0500 that I tried on in my size (with the help of b_f). The 0500 should have a slimmer leg and a little shorter rise. But then, I could have sized down one in the 500 with ease and thus achieve a slimmer look. In general the 500 feels like a 510: wide thighs, long rise, wide hem. But it's damn comfy.

Think the 500XX looks solid Max the fit suits you well. I'm looking for something similar for my next pair, but don't want to get another pair of sams just yet.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

any "fuller" '50s will do me thinks. it's only up to you what kind of denim you want and then choose the brand

[Rightyow77]

Thinking about the TCB 50's or a warehouse 1001xx

[beautiful_FrEaK]

As nice the TCBs are, they are very very full cut. The Warehouse would be my choice between the two
