Samurai Jeans

as I promied. It's gonna be

Samurai S5000BK Size 34 Lot.12 (SDO)

pre soak (excuse the grandma-socks)

post soak

Measurements pre and post soak. Soaked once with light agitation by hand. Hottest tap water, maybe one hour in. Never had a pair of Samurai shrink that much!

waist: 34,5 / 32
front rise: 11,5 / 11
back rise: 14,75 / 14,25
thigh: 13 / 12
knee: 9,875 / 9,25
leg opening: 9,25 / 8,75
inseam: 38,5 / 35,75

Never was that much into black denim but ah_long changed my mind
The contrast between the copper rivets and the black denim is so freaking nice.

And a bonus pic. Some guys refered to "squid jizz"

How long do you soak them ? That´s a lot of starch and dye…

beautiful_FrEaK

It was just an hour or so. There was instantly a lot of dye and even more came as I moved the jeans in the water. But they turned out darker after the soak

You could have done an overdye in this soup.

Just saw that BIG has a Samurai model that is 24oz raw and FICKUNG 27oz post-wash… Anyone has this one?

The 24oz (regular) is stiff and a wee bit cardboard like, but OK. Nothing as spectacular as the SR from IH, but respectable nonetheless. But shit 27oz is amazing. Makes you wonder where the OZ-barrier is located… And where comfort is sacrificed.

LHT - softness it up a bit I'd imagine?

Probably not the most comfortable jeans in the world to wear.. But that selvage color is awesome ::)

Max Power

Agreed, the selvage looks great. b_f, why does this item still miss in your collection?

beautiful_FrEaK

I wanted the RHT 24oz model but it's soldout everywhere. LHT doesn't appeal to me THAT much altough I'm really looking forward to the S500JX-LR.
And at some point, money is an issue

Max Power

…not when it comes to Samurai, right?

There is always a limit you shouldn't cross

At least Samurai don't have an English forum…that's why I spam here

Another well known source -if not the source- for Samurai denim is: http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/2nd/br-sj-r/sj-411-01-r.html. They only speak English via translator software, but ordering has never been a problem.

beautiful_FrEaK

Yes 2nd has the whole Samurai collection. I prefer Yuichi because it's easier to write with him and he sometimes has nice offers
