      How do they compair with pbj ai-002

      No idea.  Never seen or touched a pair of PBJs in reality.  I'd love to try a pair of them, but I have big thighs and none of PBJ's models seem like they would fit well.  I'd totally dig a pair of the Purple Faces, though.

        Not sure when they come out, you can check the Samurai site for info or keep an eye on Blue and Green.
        They did an AI in 24 oz., not sure how they compare with the PBJ's - don't have a pair. These will be pricey
        but I love heavy weight denim so I'll be looking to add these to my collection. 😉

          Only reason I got the 666-XHS'es is because it came to 350 in €…

          Yeah, luckily for me, anything over the IH 21oz has no chance of being wearable in Houston weather, so I didn't even consider those (or those heavyweight Samurai you like, Blackheart 🙂 )

            The new Samurai S5000AI 24oz. But that's just me. 😉

            When do they come out? I thought the 5000 ai was 17oz

            End of June/early July

                The 17oz is 800.00 how the hell much will the 24 be?! Holy shit

                  don't buy any jeans nerk, put the money away & appreciate the denim you have now.  when your current rotation is beat to sh!t invest in a new pair.

                  although i have a stock pile of sh!t, if i could do it over i would buy less & appreciate more.  having too much stuff kind of makes you numb or desensitized to the beauty of the denim goods & the craftsmanship which goes into them.

                  This advice is the best you could give and quite wise, unfortunately, I am a sick person with impulse controll problems and buying shit makes me feel good(perceived) in reality your advice is how a normal person should live. Normal my be relative but "I ain't normal" either way

                        Used to have those Oni's… Bought them 2ndhand... Fit was too wide for my likings, though... Fabric was quite amazing!.. Those were the older model, I guess, as I remember them costing something like 580 back then (new)...

                        Exact same opinion as Seul. I had Oni Red and Oni Blue, both were pretty wide, and the fabric was amazing, a bit like Samurai Jin denim, also a bit wide like the Jin cut.

                        If I had to pick one pair of none Iron Heart Jeans, I would go with the Samurai S5000VX in 27oz, just because they're insane, and you'll get almost $200 change back for beer  😃

                          Absolute sage like advice MM, and as soon as Iron Heart stop making stuff that I simply must have, I will surely follow it  😶

                            for 17oz or 24? You mean US EXCHANGE?  I'm near NYC, big would carry anyway right?
                            I think I have to go with ai-002, the color and denim looks insane, in a weird way

                              QFT. I go along with this 100%, I need to stop buying more and wear what I have. The trouble is, IH make so many fantastic products that are limited runs :(.

                                For 24 oz. nerk, I use XE for foreign conversion and that was the US price it gave me for 68,000.00 Yen.
                                I got my S5000VX 24 oz. from Blue and Green in NY so I'm hoping Gordon gets these in.
                                If you're close to NYC go there and check out the store. 🙂

                                    Very heavy but I love them, I wore them for 7 months before the second wash and the fading is pretty good.
                                    I like this cut because it's more fitted in the seat and thighs, not familiar with the AI cut so I'm really looking
                                    forward to those.

                                      The 5000VX is my favourite Samurai cut too, great fitting, slimish cut.

                                        Perfectly put, Sir!

                                        I'm consistently puzzled by the number of people who appear to worship at the altar of "fecked" and yet admittedly buy more stuff than they could "feck" in a decade or six unless they employed a servant of similar build to do it for them (any job offers hereby considered…)

                                        Only addressing elephants in rooms and pulling combs... don't mean no harm, surely we can safely debate without tip-toeing too much?

                                        And whilst I'm making myself unpopular, what exactly does "badass" mean?

                                        Your friendly unreconstructed socialist with champagne tastes and white cider funds ( just realised that I may have to purloin yer tag line MM).

                                        Much love and respect to all (genuinely).

                                        Be reasonable, demand the impossible.

                                            Question to all!! If you had a max of 600 dollars to spend on only 1 pair of jeans. OTHER THAN iron heart, because I have a few pairs already and wanna try something else, to mix it up..which pair would you buy??

                                            😃 😃 😃  but possibly your size not left in stock…
