Samurai Jeans

[Megatron1505]

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.

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.

Samurai S5000vx 21oz, 6 months, 1 soak, 3 washes.

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.

Funny you should mention that; I just had the same observation while discussing some upcoming releases with Gordon at BiG.  Makes me less interested in the heavier offerings from companies that really specialize in slubby, irregular denim.

oops, my bad, didnt catch the earlier posts. I fucking hate pink jeans, blue jeans are blue, period, with the exception of overdyed models… if not, they cant and should not be called jeans in my blue-jean-taliban opinion
