^Excellent recovery by Seul as always …

Does anyone know if Samurai headquarters offer a service of repair in the same way like the good people of IHJP do?

I really think Alex forgot the comma.

I hope

Not having six legs, I'm not interested in Samurai's stuff, but I own both the Jin models, because I love "strange" blue jeans.
My favorite are the newer, S0110xJII. The color of these jeans is really amazing, lighter but intense, and I love the pockets and all the details of Jin model. The denim of S0110XJII is a LHT unslubby, the opposite of that of S0110XJ, king of slubbyness.
But Alex is right, the construction and finish are not comparable to the Iron Heart's standards we are used to.

@ALEX1976:

samurai…shit Quality!

it was all my fault, since I'm a deferent kinda beast (check the sig.)…so please don't blame samurai and/or their construction and quality! cuz they do know their shit pretty well if you ask me!

Based on my experience with the single pair of Samurai jeans that I own, the only construction "quality" shortcoming is in the aesthetic decision to use all cotton constructional thread, rather than poly cotton, like IH does.  As a result, stitches don't last as long on Samurai jeans, but that's the way the company wants them.  That's not a lack of quality, just a different perspective on how jeans should age.

[Finn666]

nothing more to add buddy!…

[georgeel]

You are right, but look at the seams of this pocket after only a couple of weeks of worn…
Same seams on my 666Sod, after a year of hard worn, are still strong as new!

[Finn666]

that's the cotton thread they use!…same on my S0500XX...that's them though!

[georgeel]

… and the top button of my S0110XJ (amazing jeans, however) has broken after 1 month!

Exactly!

I have two pairs of Samurai jeans and have no problems with them as of yet but I do agree that the
cotton thread is a bit weak…Especially for the 23 and 27 oz. denim which I own.
After a second wash on my 27's the thread is fuzzy and thin looking, no buttons problems though.

a scholar and a gentleman!  I must have both Sams and Irons!

I did, however, had a bad experience with my Samurai 710xx Black Knights… They seemed to have been constructed rather poorly, as I remember other people complaining about it as well... Sold them after a couple of months so no idea whether they held up, though... I told the buyer about the issues, of course!..

[Omega Man]

Hey Seul, what was the issue with the Black Knights, if you don't mind me asking?

[bagley920]

Let's face it, not everyone can make jawns as unfuckwithable as Iron Heart! End of story!

Lots of different threads coming undone, and there were problems with the hem, and so forth…

[elclintor]
