Samurai Jeans

[futurebass]

word, Yuichi was really patient and helpful when i emailed him with tons of questions. Really fast responses also. Just sent him a deposit for my 710xx.

 

If you guys were wondering how he washes the denim:

 

From Yuichi

Fasten all buttons  , turn the jeans inside-out , using washing machine , with just a little detergent , in a hot water like bath (shower) degree.

Wash 10-15min - dry - rinse 5-6min - dry - rinse 5-6min- dry

I don't put the jeans in a tumbler.

In my experience , the jeans would not shrink any more.

Looking forward to see how this would turn on in a month time, definitely a fit I want for my next pair.

 

Taper from knee down isn't that important after seeing this.

if you're looking for this type of fit, basically i sized for my thighs.  i chose the ones with the smallest thigh and waist i could take.  they're tight on waist for me, but they've already stretched to about 33.75 from a shrunken 31.  mine are size 31 btw.  i basically size down 2 i think. 

 

b_f:  i had yuichi hem my pair to a 34, but when i measured, they were 35.  i noticed from the left over pieces, that he hemmed them before washing and then i think he expected them to shrink to 34.  the cut pieces were still raw.  i thought he would wash, and then hem.  anyways, they're at the shop right now, and i settled with 31.5.  i have a pair of straight fit jeans that are 31, and i like how they look.  i pick them up tomorrow, and i'll post some fit pics.

Waiting for it then! Wanting to see how they fall and the changes in the fit! I'm wearing a size 33 ihxb01, so as a general guide, I would size down to 31 to achieve the same fit? I'm a little short standing at only 173, some of these fits doesn't look flattering on me.

Sorry if this has already been covered, but is Samurai going to continue making the 25 oz denim? Perhaps in more cuts?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

SM410DBN25oz-15oz

[joekix]

so i got my jeans hemmed and i'm liking the results.  sorry about the lighting in the pics.  very crappy, but you can make out the silhouette.  these things have stretched nicely.

Maybe you can check the HDWC2 thread but then...most people only have those jeans for some weeks. So I guess there isn't just much to show yet

[Max Power]

Really dig the fit now.

[louisbosco]

Haha. Not gonna be wearing mine too soon yet.

Just found these, pretty well "interesting" collab with D.Stock, limited to 100 pairs if I'm not mistaken.

Something for the archives...

[everyinchofgod]

That denim gets me every time. Just amazing...

 Sorry, you will need size W36 most likely - good look finding one!

When going through the old comments I found that most people were commenting on how Samurai got the sizing wrong and everybody had to (or should have) size up at least 1 if not 2.

Already tried them on and the sizing works good for me. (The S5000 cut in general is on the loose side.)

Size is 33" - I do not dare to touch them and in stead will try to do cuffs - amazing denim and a deep, deep, deep (natural) indigo color.

Will take proper pictures probably next week or so...

Got a S5000AI 24oz reserved. Wonder how they differ from each other aside from the denim weight?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^ I only remember that many guys about the denim ripping early

[Foxy2]

Yeah, read that, too.

Assumptions being made in relation to the bamboo fibers contained in the mix.

Well, let's see how it goes for me...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yep something along that line. With what was the weft dyed again?

But with the opportunity of your big collection I doubt they get in the state that the denim weakens too much. Same with most of my jeans

[__3xL]

 What would the actual differences be for the 15th anniv edition of the same jeans besides a serialed leather label , gold stitching on the samVri tag and different labels .. 

 Oh and a small denim bag attached to jeans ..

 

 I think they are the exact jean besides those details just making sure
