Samurai Jeans

how does the quality of the denim compare to such high end brands as 45rpm and pure blue japan?  i'm torn between the three.  if it helps i want a fit that leans more towards the slimmer side.  thanks!

Feels like ages I did this. But why not when it's possible?!

The obligatory post soak fit. After they fully dried over night. I wore them 2 hours and then took the fit pics.

i've heard a lot about how samurai pays a lot of attention to aesthetics so i was wondering if you guys could answer this question.  does samurai use the highest quality denim out of all the japanese brands?

[deadendpro]

^ that is a loaded question and it is all a matter of preference. i would say most of the japanese denim brands use high quality cotton spun to their specs and woven how they like. it all comes down to what you like.

No, I think all of the high end Japanese denim brands use similar quality denim. The denims just tend to vary in texture, weight, weave tension, etc.

I do think Samurai has the best attention to cosmetic details out of all of the brands out there, but as far as comparing them to other high end Japanese denim brands go, I wouldn't rank them among the best for quality control.

@ALEX1976:

fucking cheap button!

just kidding there right?
If so then it's all good…

[ALEX1976]

no joke!!!!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

but not too surprising. you sized down quite a bit on that pair (in regard it being Lot.10)

[Finn666]

^this has nothing to do with sizing down or any other reason…so don't blaim it on this or the quality...thanks!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well…what's then the reason in your opinion?

[Seul]

He just tore it off - what's not to get about it?..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the button tore as he tried to stretch the denim back.

only my point (and sorry for that Rafael). your pair is size 34 Lot.10. which means it ends up measuring 32 - 32,5" in the waist when fully shrunken and when I then see the stretched-out waist size on your IH OD which is 37"…fuck man, that's a big difference and a lot of stress for a pair of jeans IMO (and the buttons)

so that is why I asked for his opinion when he doesn't want to blaim it on the sizing issue

Not a lot of singeing has happen with that denim

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looks more like non singeing has been done
the denim has kinda a felted feel to it. totally different to IH I reckon
