      I acquired a few over the years - quality, fabric, pattern, fit and workmanship is more than fine. Fit is more on slimmer side…

      I'm right in between size L and XL - size XXL is hard to get by, if on offer at all.

      Let's see if I can find some pics...

        Here are 2 of the less-workwear button-down shirts…

        Fabrics are substantial & unique & outstanding.


        Depending on the style and the fabric there can be lots of selvage details…

        Their work-shirts are more on the generous, forgiving side with the contours…

                  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  😞

                        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...

                          very helpful information.

                          Think I'll risk an XL oxford from DENIMIO

                          thanks again

                            Certainly some of the nicest shirts out there - good luck!

                            Hopefully, Denimio has stock - the other day they came back to me when inquiring for measurements of some shirts saying they have no stock although the website said otherwise…

                              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.

                                  Does anyone know any other brands that have cuts similar to Samurais S0500. The size 33 specs are perfect for what I'm looking for. I was just wondering if there might be some different denim choices out there with other brands. I wish they made it in the 19 or 17oz.

                                    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:

                                      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.
