Just got the measurements of S511NBK from Denimio:
Size 35, One-Wash
waist flat: 88.5 cm
front rise: 28 cm
upper thigh width: 31.5 cm
inseam: 96 cm
hem: 19 cmSize 36, One-Wash
waist flat: 91.5 cm
front rise: 28 cm
upper thigh width: 32.5 cm
inseam: 96 cm
hem: 20 cmI would normally go with smaller waist, but the tight width might be too narrow for me, so I guess I should size up to 36. Any thoughts on how this fabric will work when used, washed, etc.?

As far as I know this is a new denim so there won't be any experience reports available. From my experience if you are worried about the thighs being too small, better play it safe and take the bigger size as thighs don't stretch out that much.

@Max Power or anyone who has a pair, please give an update on your Samurai Chinos.
please and thanks

@madmonday There's some evo, it's just hard to capture. If I think of it I'll try to give an update tonight… Anything in particular that interests you?
-
not really concerned with evo, ???
here are my questions
would you purchase again?
good value?
do you like the fit?
do they shrink/stretch?
would you buy the same size?you know, general internet (subjective) questions.
I'm thinking about buying a pair of tagged 32 or 33 but I'm on the fence and wanted to hear from someone who had/ has a pair for a while and could let me know a bit more about them.
thanks

@Max Power Interested as well!

Here's my short Review. The chinos feel like denim, in fact I think they are just that - Khaki coloured slubby denim, 15 oz. I obviously love that, but they are not as "classy" as other chinos with smooth fabric. This also gives them a lot of character and fading / traintracks for example.
They are really well constructed with thick extra fabric in the buttonfly, silver selvage, doughnot buttones etc.
I went with size 36 (one wash), which is my current Samurai size. They are pretty comfy & loose in the top block (despite the waist) but taper nicely. They're not the modern day slimfit chino but in the classic workwear style somwehat like slim/ straight. The rise is decent and certainly rather a long- then a midrise. They stretch a good amount - I guess staying true to the raw size would work but I can't swear on it as I bought them one washed.
So yes, I would buy again and stick with my size. I tried on a 35 as well but they were too tight in the waist - this is your crucial area, the thigh will be no problem.
Hope this helped…

thanks @beautiful_FrEaK for getting @Max Power to give us a review
cool, I am getting a pair and going with the 32 waist.
wish me luck
-
Fingers crossed!
-
with the quality and fit of my Samurai oxford shirt I am super stoked to get these.
I kept talking my self out of taking the plunge but after looking around the market at the current offerings and your stellar review decided why the hell not.

I will be watching this thread for your impressions @madmonday.

I got my processing order confirmation for the S510XX25oz-20th today from Denimio. Pretty stoked.
-
I honestly have no idea. But I know they are raw. So yeah maybe?
-
Yeah they should be 25oz raw and shrink to 27oz after wash. But if they will be really that heavy, who knows?!
-
Waited too long and my size are now sold out in the chinos
Think they come back in June so will try them then
-
20th anniversary goodness. The tonal stitching and super dark denim is pretty badass. Pre-soak fit is what I expected. Post soak Will be coming.

Nice fit! I think it's crazy how black they appear on all pictures.

My size 35 arrived yesterday and I'm quite happy. They are darker than I thought, so.
