The Samurai 25oz are way stiffer than XHS. Our warp is double twisted, which results in a more flexible denim...

Interesting..... Ok back on delayed Christmas wishlist (for new year restock)

[Giles]

Whoops, I meant the weft is double twisted, I have updated my original post.....

[bluemantra]

is a restock planned for this soonish by chance?

And it’s not even close. Especially after a few wears, just no comparison. IH 25oz are way more comfortable.

I will say for those considering the 25oz (I have the 888 one) and it goes without saying, is that the initial try on with buttoning may have you regretting your decision. Super rough. And so are the first several wears. Persevere. They become awesome.

Choice of underwear becomes monumental hahaha. If you have too much material in the upper thigh, that material will settle all up in your lower intestines by day’s end. I ride my bike to work and learned the hard way loool. I’m wearing them now at work as the weather has cooled here. Just amazing.

@Oaktavia Unbelievable

Believe it brother, just need to wear them suckers hard and wear them a lot. Coming up on a year of wear but 250 days exactly.

[drewfonse]

@Oaktavia

Those creases on yours are other worldly, seriously. How soft are they? I can only imagine.

I’ll wear the shit out of these this winter. I probably have worn them 25-30 times

[Oaktavia]

@drewfonse they're comfortable and broken in feeling. Not sure how soft compared to a new pair, I'd have to have them side by side.

Day 251

[Oaktavia]

One more from this mornings photo taking session.

[Oaktavia]

One year in these jeans. 255 wears total from October '23 to October. '24

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia These look awesome man.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants thanks dude I'm pretty happy with how they turned out over the year.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia As you should be!
Are you all in on the 634 now or will it be back to the 888 in the future?

(Personally I seem to enjoy pretty much all the cuts, while others are more locked in with a specific one)

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants I'm back to the 888s for the next couple years. I am going to rotate a pair of 888UHR and 888XHSib.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Nice, can't go much wrong with those two I reckon.

(UHR is one of the few I haven't tried yet. Need to get to it at some point, but have too much XHS and XHS-variants to get through first)

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia looking forward to seeing your UHR

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants yes that's where i was at for a while. I usually stick with one pair for a year and rotate a little bit and move on after a year. Typical to lots of denim heads out there. But this time I want to try to double it up with the UHR. I figured in two years I'll have both faded pretty well and why not just do both at the same time instead of one at a time.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Sounds like a good plan. Especially with your high speed fading!

Like @Tago-Mago, in particular looking forward to seeing your UHRs when the time comes
