Samurai Jeans

[spitfiredealer]

Thanks man. Stuck between a 33 & 34. Thigh is the most important for me.

[Max Power]

I'd size up, even if I don't know about Stretch / shrinkage of the Geisha denim. I went with my 35 that I got in the 710 BKB if that helps.

[spitfiredealer]

yeah i am thinking that is the way to go.

How does the Geisha fade, wear? Is it slub like other Samurai denim?

I'll quote the lovely Ika from a few years back.

 

^you're def gonna love Geisha denim, trust me
i love my 16oz Geisha, they're as slub as other sams denim, uneven woven fabric and texture is amazing, oh the pink silver selvage is pretty....

[Max Power]

Yeah, we saw the pair in real life - still one of the most beautiful fabrics that I've encountered. That's why I always wanted a pair in that denim. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

 

Huh, I begin to get excited now - after all November is approaching quickly.

[spitfiredealer]

sounds like it is worth getting a pair then. 

[spitfiredealer]

pre order done. Looking forward to the end of November. Although they won't be getting much wear to begin with due the Iron Heart World tour.

Max, your commentary pushed me over the edge. Preorder placed! This will be my first pair of 710's. I've got the 19oz & 21oz 510's in size 34, and opted for a 35 in the 710 cut. Got big thighs, which is my only worry.

Airing out the 19 oz today after some decent wear

[mpukas]

Fella's, I'm not following what model your going on about? 710 DMO? Pre-order? Whaa... I'm lost...

Cool - thanks. So this is the 16oz Geisha denim Max said he likes? 

[spitfiredealer]

Yes

I contemplate preordering these on a weekly basis...but every time I see the 90 degree pocket rotation I just can't pull the trigger.

what does this actually affect? does it shrink strange? i never thought it would be a deal breaking feature(or an actual feature for that matter)

[chicote]

^I think the issue is that it will just fade in a different way, as the horizontal warp on the pockets will stand in contrast to the rest of the pants.

[spitfiredealer]

can't say something like that would put me off but i may eat my words once i have them. 

[Max Power]

Actually that's the one Detail that I would think will annoy me the least. The Gold top button and the weird arcs are worse IMO.

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah those arcs are a bit lary. 

[beardy3344]

Agreed on the arcs. Seam ripper can fix that one though. I stared at the Deminio pics for weeks before pulling the trigger and it was only the arcs that made me hesitant.

• blueingreensohoExclusive first peak at the new Samurai "Sumo Series" Jeans. This new series will not be available in Japan and will feature the S710XX, S0500XX, S5000VX, S510XX21oz, & S711VX models all with the special Shinobi stitch detail. Release dates are expected to start in the Spring. More info to come. #blueingreensoho #samuraijeans #サムライジーンズ #SumoSeriesJeans

[Max Power]

What is the Shinobi stitch Detail? And is it safe to guess that the western retailers asked for that because of denimio?

 

(I feel like back in the 90s where I tried to get Japanese LP/CD Releases - they had bonus tracks to make the expensive domestic versions more attractive than imported western releases.)

[spitfiredealer]

Gotta be just another way for BlueinGreen to charge more money for the jeans

Merchandising__ reinventing denim can only go so far

I think they're sorta ninja war patch/embroidery ?!?! ... 'Wonder where the placements will be .... Prolly pocket bag or somewhere hidden, I hope.

Tough to compete when most of your merchandise is available over seas with very little hassle at a fraction of the cost.

Suspect a lot of moneyed folk in NY have no issue with paying BiG prices and not even considering going to Japan directly.

Seems fair to pay the asking price if you want to try before you buy.
