Samurai Jeans

[Jord666]

Cheers for the nice comments guys! I'm loving the fit It's probably my favourite cut I've owned so far, I'm also a big fan of the coloured arcs on these, I don't know why but they have really grown on me since I first pre-ordered and when I got to see them in person and all the different details I just absolutely love them

Oh and I say BIG is the way to go depending on wether they have what your looking for or not obviously, customs charges from Japan to me (in the UK) have been far more expensive than a package from the US

And as for the red tab, I recently traded the pair of S5000VX I got from BIG with another forum member here and they had the red tab.

Hope that helps

If BiG doesn't have the specific model you want, email Gordon and see if he can get it for you.  I know he's willing to track down things they don't have in stock.  Sometimes even things that are supposed to be only released in Japan.

[Jord666]

^^ that's good to know!

Thanks a bunch to everyone who pitched in their two cents to my question above.  Been thinking of getting a pair of samurai's a while now.  I'm really digging the arcs and red tab that you can't get locally in the states.  So for now I will keep pondering.  Thanks again.

^ again, as was said many times, email gordon about your… concern, and i am sure you will be more than pleased once you hear back from him. He is amazing to deal with!

Can vouch for both Gordon and Yuichi.  They both know all there is to know about Samurai fit and cut.

I've been more than satisfied– surprised, even-- by the Samurai's I've purchased from Blue in Green. If you live in the states, there is simply no reason at all to shop elsewhere.

Can someone who knows there way around samurai tell me what if any other fits use the same denim as the s003jp-a?
I love the character of those but there a bit to slim for me and they are also sold out
Thx guys

[beautiful_FrEaK]

answered you already on Sufu. It was a special denim only released once in this cut (so far)

[Nerkg]

Oh jeez. It's like the only denim by them I like, Mabey ill have to find a second hand pair and sqeeze in. Now the problem of finding them

[MikeC]

Exposed selvage on the coin pocket looks tacky and cheap.  Samurai should stick with hidden selvedge or peekaboo.

[Nerkg]

I agree on that part. That's cheesy

[seanocono]

^Haha. MikeC, you're the man. I love how you state opinion as fact. In our increasingly-PC world, you're a breath of fresh air.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think most of us agree with with MikeC

@nerkg: you might like the S001JP-F? The cut is fuller (similar to the S5000) but uses 100% wool weft instead of the paper the 003-A uses

[Nerkg]

So it's similar?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well…both are 17oz denim. the warp is similar just the weft is really different. The only worn in pair of the S003JP-A belong to saintkeat who had 4 or 5 crotch blow outs (but he bikes A LOT). In terms of fading...puh...hard to predict

[Nerkg]

Cool, thx. Ill be looking for a pair of the -a

[jchang71]

Hey guys!

I have huge thighs and calves but want a more slimmer look. Been rockin the IH-634S for like 9 months now and am looking at samurais. Any suggestions to the direction i should be heading in?

Thanks!

[Finn666]

5000, 0510, 0500…some of those should be the right thing for you!

[MikeC]

b_f, do you know anything about the 2013 710XX collabs from BiG. On their Instagram, it states there is a black and indigo and they are named the Black Hawk & Yellow Hawk.  I'm really liking how Samurai consistently puts out waist 35s.
