Samurai Jeans
-
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

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.

Hi. I'm looking for some feedback on how BiG size as I'm interested in a pair of Samurai 610lx they have on sale. I'm usually good with a 30 in IH 666s and indeed have a pair of BB ODs in 29 that are on the money. Even though the sizing chart on the site is reassuring I'm trying to forestall and issues I might not be aware of. According to BiG they measure 30.5 in the waist which, if true, would suit me just fine.
Would appreciate advice from some experienced Sammie strutters!

They look good @Anesthetist Are they low rise? what is it about the fit that's different? I love the look of the denim but if it's an 11inch rise I'm out of business

They look good @madmonday ,really good,I don't think I can fit in them so another possibly costly obsession dies a borning.
