any of you folks own or have fondled a Samurai oxford/button down office shirt? if so, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. i'm specifically concerned with quality (fabric feel, buttons, how its stitched up) & sizing (easy enough if I can find a size chart I trust :'() .
thanks in advance for any help.
the mad one

thanks @FOXY I tried BIG & it looks like they don't have them anymore. If not too much trouble, could you advise on what your Sammie shirts measure & if they shrink? I think I might just jump on one in XL and be done with it.
After I grab this I'll be grabbing at least one UES oxford.
Oxfords are my current thing

fair enough.
thanks for your time & your knowledge, I always look forward to your posts.

Most of my Samurai button-down shirts are in Berlin, not here in Moscow.
The only shirt made with the same pattern that I have with me is this one made from a persimmon Oxford…
Lots of selvage details around the cuffs…
3 button collar…
As you can see this shirt is from their 2013 collection and a size XL…
I took some measurements…
Like most of the Japanese shirts I own (RJB for example), the Samurai button-downs are on the small and slim side. The tricky part for me being the measurements of the waist line…
This particular shirt is in size XL, while my 2 white ones are in size L (IIRC) - this is probably due to the fact, that these shirts are made from raw fabrics (which shrinks individually) and pattern adjustments resulting in model specific measurements.
I would guess, that a size XL in the white shirts would be wider than this particular shirt.
Their work-shirts are more generous in the measurements and straight in the waist.Here is the link to a gallery of some of my Samurai shirts...

Think I'll risk an XL oxford from DENIMIO
thanks again

I was lucky enough to score a pair of S0110XJII last night at 50% off at BiG. I usually buy a 33 in IH but bought a 34 due to availability. I have read a big of conflicting info but I as I understand it, the Jin denim shrinks hard but stretches easily. I'm hoping they fit, they look like a great classic fitting jean.

Here are some more pictures of those shirts from the weekend…
They are from 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 - all in size L.
They measure about 51-52cm P2P, only the last one is a little bigger (52-53cm)Here is a chart from samurai for one of their current shirts:

M 68cm 51cm 64cm 42cm
L 72cm 53cm 66cm 44cm
XL 75cm 55cm 68cm 46cm

thanks for the above @FOXY can't wait for my shirt to make it to me. I tried for a pinhead oxford but they were all sold out so I had to settle for a plain oxford.
very excited for it to make it to me

forgot to take images of the selvedge details on the sleeve & cuff. all in all I'm happy as it cost what a Gitman shirt costs & the construction & materials seem top notch.
I think I will be getting a few more. thanks again for all the info @FOXY as I would have bought an XXL if I didn't put up the above info

Beautiful shirt @madmonday! I bought these during the BiG 50% sale and although the fit will take some getting used to, I love the denim and the orange/gold thread.
