Samurai Jeans

@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 ! -

These are tagged 34 and they have stretched to 36, Will Iron Heart stretch this much? I know it says one inch in the description. Samurai description said that 34 would stretch back out to raw measurement (34). I really worked at stretching them, i guess what I'm asking is has anyone really tried to stretch I.H ? Like using a knee or foot and pulling as hard as possible on the waist kind of trying or two legs tn the thigh as far as possible then trying to spread them? Not just normal wear stretch. Maybe i should just go a size up lol

Haha I'm not that dedicated to it. I already tore the pocket bag trying to stretch the pockets on these. I think sizing up is the way to go it will also make the jeans last longer. I guess a bit too big in the waist is better than too tight in the long run. I have had these samurais since august and i have already had to repair them 3x. Hopefully IH is a bit more durable

I'm thinking that If i always wear a belt IH prob won't stretch that much in the waist anyhow?

My 666-XHS about three years old and have a few hundred wears and five or six washes, and the waist is <1” bigger than when they were new. I always wear belts pretty much. I’d say 1” with a belt is about right. It also stretches slowly. If you’re prone to crotch blowouts then having a bit more room in the top block and thigh is probably a good thing.

Same here button came off my 25oz . I think im going to go 34 or 35 in the 634-xhs 36 will be way too big once it stretches.

I think you are prob right, I can't wait to try a pair out. For now these 25oz samurai are starting to fade pretty fucking awesome tho.
