Samurai Jeans
-
Yeah, i've found Samurai have great demins but only the 710xx really has the rise and the taper i'm looking for. I'm 6'2", maybe why i seem to need the higher rise. Some of their 'mid-rise' seems quite low to me, on paper anyway. The Busters should be right up my street, like you say. Also, in a moment of weakness i went back to the IH store and ordered a pair of IH-702 grey chinos, couldn't help myself, have been looking for some troosers for a while that aren't jeans that i can get on with and these look great so..
Will report my findings on my new IH clobber!

Hottest day in Germany and I received my heaviest pair of jeans.
Samurai S5000VX24oz
The patch with the 2 big Samurais (patch looks smaller than usual)
My first pair with the new contrast arcs
The thick selvage
I write a bigger review later along with measurements. But I can already say they shrink FROM tag size (as expected)
-
Very nice BF, Where did you get them from may I ask?
-
Just my size. Let me know if they dont fit!
Or if you need to clear some wardrobe space for them!
-
I bought them from 2ND.
@johnnyv: I can get you a size 34 from Pirates (with discounted shipping maybe)

Thanks, i now have 2 pairs of Samurai Jeans S5000VX and S0500XX
i need to sell my iron heart 461 before i buy another pair of jeans i think.
what model would you sugest as a third pair ?
thanks
-
S5000VX24oz of course
No seriously that's a tough question. there are so many options and routes you can go. Another cut (S710, S510 or bootcut or more vintage), taking a look into the Jins series with LHT denim. Or maybe the heavier denims like 21oz or even the 24oz denim

BF, looking for a pair like you just got in a 34…
-
what size would you need? I think Yuichi from Pirates could help you out. I'll ask him if you're interested

she will mug you for denim! -
Try some Busters!..
yeah the Busters (RAW) are the only IH so far that have my interest. But I haven't got the funds right now…and on top of that surely no time to wear them
-
G would you like to be mugged at home or back here in the US?…
BF, I need a 34, let me know as I am very interested! Thanks!
-
I will contact Yuichi for you. But to be sure, see my measurements below
Measurements
waist: 34 / 33
front rise: 11,5 / 10,75
back rise: 15 / 14
thigh: 13 / 12,5
knee: 9,5 / <9,5
leg opening: 9 / 8,75
inseam: 37,5 / 35,75 -
Thanks BF! I need a 34 waist after soak/wash but could live with a 33. How much are they through Yuichi?
-
Price will be Jap retail but I think he might offer you a shipping discount (40% off for the shipping). on top of that he usually ships cheaper than let's say 2ND.
I will report you how these stretch. Yuichi has holiday on wednesday. I mailed him already but I don't expect an answer from him before thursday
