Samurai Jeans

[Lazerr]

Shameless Plug: Would anyone be interested in this Flannel in size XXL? Can post Pictures and measurements if needed. It simply didn't fit like I wanted, so it was only tried on. 

[japanalogue]

If anybody is interested in Samurai's organic Japan Cotton Project, I've just finished my article on it here.

I hope some of you will find it enjoyable or informative.

What do you think about newer version of s710xx19oz (that's in Denimio and some other websites)? Is it gonna replace the old one or just a new model? Looks like they share the same fabric.

Looks like Self Edge is going to start carrying Samurai in March.

I'm selling some 0500's, lot 15. Still raw, size 32x36. Message me if interested.

Looking for some sizing advice for S510XX19OZ.

I'd prefer a post-shrink/stretch waist of 32.5" to 33".

My other jeans that fit well are:

• Sugarcane BSPOW - Size 32 / Post-stretch: 33"
• IH 777s - Size 32 / Post-stretch: 32.75"
• TCB 50s - Size 33 / Post-stretch: 33"

I'm wondering if I would need a size 32 or a 33. I am unfamiliar with the amount of shrink/stretch with this denim. TY!

Why does the S211VX Benkei model not exist in like any discussion on the internet? The measurements on this pair seem nice, and the weight is just what I'm looking for but I can only find a few mentions on the internet and only one fit pic from a reddit thread. Anyone here own these?

 

I'm on the fence between these and the S520, but didn't want 21oz.

I have them the waist is quite small on this model but comfortable around the hips and the rise is comfortable I had to sell the 0255 cut which is the other overseas cut as the front rise was to long and couldn’t open my legs properly

Thank you! Smaller waist, bigger thighs is actually what I’m looking for. Have you tried the S520XX?

[lee porter]

No I haven’t tried the 520 

[s3lam]

Can’t remember the last time I posted a fit pic here on Sufu. Been getting back into denim lately. Been almost 10 years. These are the s5000vx tagged size 35.  I can’t even remember how many washes and wears but here are a couple fits. 

[s3lam]

Oh and some deets. You can kinda see the silver/red selvage.

@maharu post above reminded me that i had some pics I never posted of the sj42cp with a few washes, mostly worn in casual office during 2 winters.  pulling them back out of the closet now for winter #3.  some of the stain from a leather belt rubbed off a fair amount on belt loop areas and there is some visible marbling/crease from wash/dry.  i really like the construction/hardware details on these.  i don't have pics but they have silver selvedge.  lockstitch 1 inch'ish trouser hem type of thing going on.  

 

Thank you for allowing to see into the future of mine.

I bought mine three years ago but haven't put it into much action. The first year or so I had a misconception. I always associated "chino" with "summer" but this one is actually a cold weather trouser. Took me a while to understand that. So this is the first winter season I am wearing them.

Problem is: in winter its cold AND wet and this fabric sucks liquid and dirt like blotting paper. Literally. So can only wear in dry winter weather. Which -  were I live is - quite exceptionally. Plus I am avid bicyclist. And grease just loooves this pants. I mean, they really bound. They really stick.

So all the fortunes of heaven have to be in the right place to bring this one on the strret. 

Still: great pants. I am wearing them as I write this.

I hot soaked my S510XX19OZ twice and I'm surprised by the lack of shrinkage. They shrunk maybe an inch at most at the waist. Both soaks used nearly boiling water at 90 minutes with heavy agitation. I don't need any more shrinkage but I'm wondering if I should toss them in the washing machine prior to hemming. Does the 19oz Kiwami just not shrink that much?

[mpukas]

Every denim shrinks different amounts, and may continue to shrink more. Two options: wash them in a washer, hot water, inside, prior to hemming; or, get them hemmed 1/2" - 3/4" longer than needed to allow for extra shrinkage when washed again. This is what I do, so roping starts to appear when I wash them after hemming. I'd rather too long than too short.

For what it's worth, I gave my 710's (not kiwami) two hot soaks similar to what you did, and when I eventually machine washed & dried them a few months later, there was no noticeable additional shrinkage.

Lucky me score this last pair crisp S5000VX 20th Anniversary .love the details on this gem.

[smittydadon]

Hey guys! 
 

ugh hope all has been well with you all!! 
Figured I’d try to bring some life to the thread by showcasing my SWD-L01 shirt. To be honest I’ve kind of lost count of how long I’ve been wearing the shirt or how many washes but I absolutely love this shirt! Here’s some shots. (Excuse the photo quality I’m at work bored )

Take care guys!! 

[spidereye]

Iconic shirt ....nice

Awesome, love the texture on those.

Were these your jeans, too?

[fresh1]

I've had the S0500xx as a "next on my list" pair for a while as they look like they'd be a good fit for me, but it is looking like they may have discontinued the standard version, at least.  Their website only has one or two sizes left and hasn't restocked them.  It seems most of their standard pairs have received the version II treatment, but I haven't seen the 500's yet. I think the was a special 18oz version, but not the 15oz.

I plan to do that , but they're out of my size.

I'm looking for either S634-GX or S510XX24oz-L in size 40, but the measurement listed on e2nd doesn't match with BiG's

https://samurai-jeans.com/bottoms/s634gxii-jeans.html

I found the second released of this model S634-GX II 

[rockon99]

Does anyone have fit pics of the S3000vx? i'm on the fence. I realize it's a ww2 cut (right?) and i'm sorta looking for a wide fit. Search function only yields a few results, none of which are fit pics.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

There's one in my fit guide. Right here
