Samurai Jeans

[Cold Summer]

Beautiful jeans Max. Your S710s from a few years back are still my favorites of all your fades.

How are your Eternal 811s coming along?

[Max Power]

Thank you! I've worn the 811 for about 3 months now, so they are somewhat faded but nothing really worth showing. But when I take pictures of the 710 I'll try to take some of the Eternals as well.

[ChrisJ28]

Damn, I wish Samurai would come out with another run of 19oz  500's. I missed out on those. 

[Cold Summer]

Have you been wearing the S710s again? Either way, I don't mind seeing them again.

[Max Power]

No, not really. But if I take Pictures tonight I'll try to include the 710s as well.

By request, 710XX from 2012

One of the all time best in my opinion. These pics in of in themselves probably helped Samurai sell a bunch of 710's.

[JDelage]

Very nice. I'd like a Samurai I think...

Does Blue in Green still sell Samurai jeans? They don't seem to be listed on the website.  I emailed them a while back and never heard back from them.

I have 2 pairs of Samurai I got from Americaya while I was in Tokyo that I need to sell.  Both are size 38.  19oz S710xx with a hot wash and 7 wears.  Also 15oz S0510XX that are brand new with tags.

Message me if you're interested.

Guys, I am planning to order S5000VX, need some help to get the size right. I intend to cold machine wash and line dry every month after the initial hot soak.

I need to have my waist settle down between 35.5'' to 36'' ultimately after all the shrinkage and stretching is out the way. Tag 34 seem to come with a 35 inches( as per denimio), do you think if I order Tag 34 it will ultimately settle down close to 36 inches ?

I haven't heard anything other than a few comments I've seen posted here, but BiG's pages of their classic brands are seriously reduced except for warehouse and oni. I bought a pair of limited edition pair 710s in November for full price and now there is nothing there. I'm all for supporting BiG and was fine paying full price, but feel like a bit of a fool now that I see they basically aren't supporting the brand online anymore. Maybe it's a different story in store.

You're going to have to thank Levi's for that. Until that latest lawsuit is settled, you're only going to only see brands without red tabs and arcuates online. If you're interested on following the case, its all on public record in the San Francisco courts.

[Maynard Friedman]

Interesting. Does that mean there is a wider range of brands in-store than online?

I was wondering if that was the reason

[mpukas]

@coleslawyum - thanks for the info. Very interesting and infuriating. 

[Cold Summer]

What is this new Levis lawsuit? Haven't heard anything about that.

[Max Power]

Would also like to hear / read more. Is there any recommended article about it?

[Balto]

Denimio still has Samurai's products listed online for anyone trying to make a purchase, got a fresh pair of 710's recently. Here are my 24oz 710's at 15 months with 4 soaks and 4 machine washes.

Can't really match the fading powerofmax ... but, here's my humble 710XX Lot9. It's like keeping humptydumpty 2gether @ this point ... countless fixes, but will not let these faded jeans to fade away.

Wonderful repairs as well as evo, BrownMetallic!

Great looking jeans Brownmetallic!!

Those look great BrownMetallic! I've had my S710s since 2012 and haven't had to do much repair, just fixing some broken stitches on the back pockets. For 100% cotton jeans I've been very impressed by how sturdy the stitching is. Granted, I haven't worn mine for nearly as long (just about seven months of wear) as yours.

[Jambol]

Last week have arrived with me!

[BrownMetallic]

@^^  @^^^  @^^^^ Thanx peeps!

These Lot9s were actually my 2nd pair. 1st pair was a Lot10 W33, w/c unfortunately, were undercut & ran shrink-from-tagged, post wash

'Got rid of them & tried to su1, but BiG soldout on Lot10 W34, so I took  Lot9, instead ... 'long story short, Lot9 dint have any of that [sizing issue],  the W34 ended a bit loose post wash.  

Anyway, 'kept them__ wore them low w/a belt ... wore them hard&frequent for 7mos.  

1st to give was the crotch stitching, then the front pockets, & then the back pockets. & button holes.  More recently,  the chainstitching along the waistband & hems has kept my sewing skillz up

All - do you think it is possible to remove a chest pocket from a one-wash Samurai chambray shirt without living a trace? Talking specifically about removing the left pocket (and button) on this:
