Samurai Jeans

[Megatron1505]

I have used e2nd.net in the past. They're usually well stocked, and if you use an online translator the ordering process is pretty painless.

I have a pair of S5000VX size 28x36 with red tag, arcs and all tags for sale in the Supermarket. Letting them go for cheap. $300 obo.

Fit pics of my new (to me) Samurai Jins, 0110xj, apologies for the toilet shots, but I'm at work so my choice of location is limited. I love this denim, the texture and weave is like nothing else I've ever seen. This pair I might go for contrast fades, rather than vintage, I just think it looks better with the Jin denim.

[Megatron1505]

Lot 10

[rocket]

seems like a nice fit Mega and the texture looks really cool…

[madmonday]

i'm with rock(it)  the texture is amazing &  i'm sure the photos aren't doing them any real justice

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, I'll throw up some macros of the denim tomorrow when I get some decent light, it really is like nothing else.

Nice pics of those Sams Mega, hope that nasty migraine is gone…

[Megatron1505]

Thanks BH, I'm finally feeling a bit more like my old self…..although I think my wife preferred me when I was quieter 

[Seul]

Those Sams look brilliant!..

[Blackheart]

So glad you're feeling better, looking forward to some more pics of those Sams…Nice fit on you.

@Megatron1505:

Lot 10

Same here, got higher lot no. coming for a second pair (sizing down one and keeping the current pair for my old days).
Lot no. 10 is the nicest denim I have seen so far.

Nice fit BTW!

yeah, denim from Samurai really changes from Lot to Lot. At least that's what I encountered on my pairs. Older pairs are often more irregular

wow the new Samurai is pink!!! Not my cup a tea, but you gotta applaud the daring move!

You are quite late to the party We talked about it some posts ago. But I agree with you that the color on those pics isn't the best (or maybe it's really a shitty color). Let's wait how BiG captures the color.

Well after comparing the official picture from Samurai here:

with the ones from 2ND

I have to say, the ones from 2ND are really pink whereas the official ones look better.

If the texture was like the old model I would have bought, but without loom chatter and a potentially pinkish color shade…
Rather considering a pair of S5000AI-OGSP.

I'm totally with you on that one (except for buying a S5000AI-OGSP instead and I don't think you should do it too).
The 17oz had a more interesting texture. But from my observation, it is quite common along the brands, the heavier the denim the regular the texture. Might be a reason, that the looms are already under a lot of pressure with the heavy denim and then weaving in 'failures' would be too much for the loom.
