Samurai Jeans
-
I have determined that cotton stitching is for the birds…
Not really a fan of it myself. I've made about a dozen, albeit small, repairs on my Samurais in about 6 months of wear. It's a pain in the butt, and I'm not one of those purist types that thinks popped stitches and failing seams are how jeans are supposed to look because in the 1890s people didn't have poly thread.

Very nice yong, I have the same cut in the 27 oz., one of my fave pairs.

They've been posted earlier on this thread, go back and check them out.
I've had them almost a year now
and need to post some evo pics, only one wash so far after about 7 months of wear but the fades are
looking pretty good.

taken in direkt sunlight just a few minutes ago:
The only thing I'm "proud" of is the wallet fade (credits to OGL) and that I didn't have to do any repairs yet

right, I gave them one soak in the top block some weeks/months ago to freshen up the denim in that area. but the rest is pretty raw (besides the initial soak)

Naked & Famous, right?

^no…Cheap Monday (my other love) do the best and most stubborn belts
@Eli: I bought this belt 2nd hand from riff. He had it twice and oiled with Obenaufs if I remember correctly. Samurai hasn't made this belt since 5 or 6 years. I'm also not the biggest fan of double prong but it works quite well with this kind of buckle

Have worn these S5000GX-H (aka the "Fire" model from the Element model series) since October 2010, I'd guess I invested 300+ of actual days of wear, lots of cycling was done in them as is obvious looking at the wear pattern, crotch is completely fecked atm so they are in semi-retirement … Hope you like 'em ...

Tasty!
