Samurai Jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You only say that in hope I would give you my jeans
Remember, I only supply my non-denim heand friends with Japanese stuff

@Rafa: any time, just tell me and I try to ship ASAP.

@Sugar: Yeah, the denim world needs a person that buy and preserves new denim. I am always open to donation to save endangered denim (the danger of being worn)

[Finn666]

will do buddy…thanks a lot in advance!
btw. how does your evisu #1 coming along? also hanging on the wall?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

No, they have a nice place at my denim rack

s0500xx…on and off wear since ~2years!

[ChuckDenim]

Inspired by Flo…very nice.

[Max Power]

Nice pair, indeed. I need a 0500 someday, too.

[Sugar Mountain]

I'd also like a pair of 0500. Samurai's Texas denim is the most appealing of their offerings for me.

Dare I say it Finn, these Sams are your best fitting jean. They really work for you.

[Finn666]

ha, thanks a lot mate. beatle always used to say the same after me posting a new fitpic of those…
really enjoy/enjoyed wearing them today, perfect for the upcoming few months!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and they all are right. That's a cut just for you

and it's always nice to see them again!

not sure what lot-# that one is, but do the newer lots differ in shrinkage and stretch?…these are a size 34 and from what i know it really didn´t shrink that much. just want to know if the newer numbers are the same when it comes to shrinkage!

@beautiful_FrEaK:

Yeah I kinda am…mhh...does it make me a bad person?

No, but many other things do! 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

oh Lord…I thought this was a safe place (a place without you!)

[Arabit]

Does the Samurai S5000VX denim  bleed a lot?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Not from my experience.
Well, I only encountered 2 pairs of jeans where I thought "hell do they bleed" but none of them were Samurai jeans

[Arabit]

Great! thanks a lot BF

[beautiful_FrEaK]

stains on white shirts and shoes will still happen, nevertheless

@beautiful_FrEaK:

oh Lord…I thought this was a safe place (a place without you!)

my thoughts exactly…at first I thought I was dreaming!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

if I give it a second thought, the 24oz denim bleed a fair bit more than average Samurai jeans

My last Texas Cotton denim is from Lot.12 The Texas Cotton denim changed from season to season in its appearance. My Lot.11 is the roughest, slubbiest, hairiest Texas Cotton denim I ever encountered. I had Lot.10 which was also rougher and I have 2 from Lot.12 which are very very different. One is the regular with silver selvage lining which is quite smooth and one special run with red selvage which is rough as you expect it.
I'll get a Lot.14 Texas Cotton denim soon but it will be a one-washed jacket.
So I don't think I can help you here. But well…stay with a size 34 or 35.

Isn't yours Lot.10?
