Samurai Jeans
-
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.
Probably not the most comfortable jeans in the world to wear.. But that selvage color is awesome ::)
-
Agreed, the selvage looks great. b_f, why does this item still miss in your collection?
-
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 -
…not when it comes to Samurai, right?

There is always a limit you shouldn't cross

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.

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

Can you give me the post soak measurements for your S5000VX as we are the same waist size.
thanks
-
no problem:
after two soaks but it's Lot.10, so a bit smaller than regular S5000VX
waist: 34
front rise: 11
back rise: 14,25
thigh: 12,5
knee: 9,5
leg opening: just little under 9
inseam: 36,5more shrinkage is likely to come with a real wash but the VX also stretches a good amount

Thanks for the measurements. I think the back rise is a little short for me on that model.
after measuring my other pairs of jeans i need at least a 15" back rise.
My flatheads are a 15" back rise and fit perfect.

To people that need measurements for certain models, you can use this website www.blueingreensoho.com
They also carry samurais and much more always updated with newest samurai jeans. -
but they don't offer measurements after shrinking and sometimes I feel BiG's measurements are off, especially in the waist. They give a good hint but I feel safer when seeing more measurements especially from guys who wore them. So that's why I'm always willing to post my measurements

s0500, 4months in, 2nd wash today!
ttc in pic 3 and 4…
postwash pics will follow when i have the time too!
stretched them out while still damp and as i already had them off my legs again, i thought another stretch shouldn't be a problem and went for it (i thought the denim was fully unbuttoned!)
