Samurai Jeans

Yeah its there now.. thanks. I almost got that pair but they didnt have my size. How long have you been wearing them? Washes? Soaaks? I love the blue stitching.

@Filthy @Megatron1505 @Max Power @beautiful_FrEaK I just finished reading this whole thread to find 25 oz fade pics and i didn't find many… but i noticed that you all had a pair if i am not mistaken. Would it be possible to get some recent pics idk why i am so obsessed with this lol

I soak them when they got here to do the first shrink. I didn't get all the shrink out, too. When I did wash them, they shrank a lot, but now fit more like they were supposed to I think. I wore them a lot before washing. Not sure how much, but on New Year's Eve, I was the "pony" for all my daughter's friends. That put a lot of wear on 'em.

Sorry brother I didn't really care for mine too much. They got relegated to work pants and have been laying in th the back of my pick up truck since about August. The problem is I have a ton of jeans and I wear the ones I love. Right now I am currently wearing exclusively my 888-UHR pair.

I'm somewhat in the same boat as you, @Filthy. I wouldn't say I don't like them, but they are a far cry from IH.
-
Right, I am used to wearing either 21, 23, or 25 oz Iron Heart and pretty much everything is disappointing compared to that. I almost bought a pair of 25.6 oz NBDN I saw that looked cool yesterday. But then I realized that I would just rather stick with Iron Heart. I don't know what or how they do it… but the denim is always crazy soft. I'm addicted to Iron Heart denim.
-
I have some White Cone denim, too, but I just can't get into it. When they closed, I was happy because it might force some American brands to find a new supplier. (I know that's heresy, but oh well.) Everything from IH seems in a different league compared to most brands. Samurai is good, maybe even great and same with PBJ; however, I just don't think either have the same feel of IH denim or duck fabric. The duck is awesome, too. That's not to say anything about the UHFs.

@BD81 , sorry man they have been gone from my possession for years.
-
@BD81 Same for me…I don't like heavy weight denim at all anymore and sold all my heavy jeans.
I think my heaviest jeans weigh around 16oz or 17oz and that's as heavy as I want
-
@BD81 I'm in the same boat - 15/16 oz is about my Maximum These days. Also, I only owned the 21 oz Samurais. You can find the most recent updates on them on my instagram @max_power_denim
-
Well that's kind of dissapointing. Thanks anyways guys
I love heavy jeans.. cant wait to try IH. 24oz N&F was my first, Samurai my second, IH will be 3rd. Should have made it 1st by the sound of things im hearing. -
To be honest the 23oz N&F seemed to be about the same weight as the 25oz Samurais.
-
@bd81 you come to these things when you come to them. I went in the same order as you. I got rid of my N & F as their denim felt like a gimmick. I still love my SJ denim. It's just IH is better quality. Also, this is all coming from people who love IH so much they talk to strangers (who have become friends, of course :)) about IH products. If SJ had the foresight to do a fourm, you might see the same fevor for them.
-
I guess the only way to find out is to buy a pair of IH .

after a long hiatus, I've been wearing my Iron Heart 18 ounce IHSH-177 all day. (I hot machine washed it on a 2 hour cycle and then put it in the dyer for an hour gasp), and, I don't think 25 ounce Samurai denim is as heavy as Iron Heart 18 ounces. I am making this comparison because I like heavy denim, and also both denims are very rough and hairy. Both are similar in texture and color.
-
I have been wearing the shit out of these and they are starting to fade pretty nice. Cant wait to get me some 25oz IH ! -

Sorry for the shitty quality. I can only upload one photo at a time for some reason
