Awesome pair, mate. How many washes so far?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Love that pair! too bad the pics are a bit grainy

[Flash]

thanks guys , cant really say how many washes they have had ...... maybe about 10 ?

[Max Power]

Love that pair! too bad the pics are a bit grainy

Maybe that explains why I never get the grainy structure on my Samurais...

well was going to order some 710xx's from big today. looks like somebody beat me to the last pair of 34's. With Dc4's unfortunate robbery, big being out, and the fact that im not real rad at navigating rakuten, any other stockists I can check out?

Rakuten isn't too difficult. I checked them for you and was going to send you a link, but none of the three retailers that advertise 710xx's have any in size 34. Sorry. Did you try Blue in Green? Oh, you said you did. Never mind.

Cell-phone quality pic of my 24oz 5k's after a recent wash.  I've had these since 8/2011.  Guessing about a year and half of actual wear (can't remember).

Right on thanks.  I assume this person is "Pirate" on Rakuten??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

He is..and if he doesn't have the size in stock he will try to get it for you

Right on thanks.  I assume this person is "Pirate" on Rakuten??

 

yes, his name is yuichi and he is very easy to deal with.  i have used him 3 times and have has no issues.

[12ax7]

Awesome,  I have heard the name referenced before..

 

Thanks again.

Latest addition - 2 new Samurai shirts...the weight puts them more on the heavy side of things.

Underarm - side seam is felled and triple stitched (most likely using a 3 needle chain stitch machine).

Button-down...

Same cut - different fabric.

Here is my 3rd jacket from Samurai's element series...

The left side is actually with a yellow shade - can't seem to capture it accurately...

Beautiful, I love the elemental series.

Details on that jacket!

[louisbosco]

nice shirts foxy... i did see them at the samurai store in osaka. sadly, most of them either didnt have my size or they were winter wear.

[Foxy2]

Yes, the fabrics are nice, but certainly on the heavy side.

These shirts seem to be very limited in numbers and sell out immediately every season.

To make things worse the sizing is highly inconsistent and shops like 2nd refuse to post or communicate measurements...

[ivanswk]

Hi foxy, what size is these shirt ? thanks

Size L - size XL would have better in hindsight....

hi. i'm new in these denims. I'm wondering if anyone could share why Samurai jeans, in a way, cost slightly more than Iron heart or other japanese denims?

 

[everyinchofgod]

Not sure where you live, but I live in the states, and Samurai is generally less expensive than Iron Heart here. Both are great, I'm still not sure which I like better. IH are more heavy-duty IMHO, but Samurai's fade better.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

IMO you can better compare the prices going by Japanese retail prices.

 

I'm taking IH's standard jeans 634S (25,200Â¥) and Samurai's standard would be...let's say the S5000VX (24,990Â¥)

 

So Samurai would be a tad cheaper but the IH is 21 oz and the Samurai is 17oz. So we should use the same weight. S500VX21oz costs 29,190Â¥

 

Going by that, Samurai is more expensive.

While IH is sturdy, Samurai has in my opinion more little details (pocket bags, tab, every model a unique leather patch, backside of the buttons [took IH some time to add that]).

 

But then we don't know how much profit the 2 brands calculate. And Samurai has a bigger line-up with smaller batches which is more expensive to produce

 

[occupant]

They might have seen the non-selvedge 634 on Rakuten that's only 18,900Â¥ and gotten confused. That model uses a projectile loom version of their 21oz denim.

[louisbosco]

Size L - size XL would have better in hindsight....

 

well one thing i've notice about samurai is that their shirts and tee sizes run slightly smaller than other brands like FH, IH etc...

[Foxy2]

As consistent and predictable they have become with the bottom sizing as inconsistent they are when it comes to shirts...

I have shirts in sizes M to L to XL!
