That denim has amazing character, very nice. What's the bag for?

To cover Lando's eyes when he stumbles into this thread…

Good one Seul! I honestly have no issue with Samurai denim. In fact, I really enjoy it fading characteristics and admire the range of cuts. Continue the Samurai discussion, my eyes are wide open!

[Seul]

Always will be a huge Sammie fan… Although I admire the way IH releases products more... Sometimes less is better, is all I'm saying...

I agree with you on that one. Samurai puts out a lot of new jeans. It's like inflation
but you can't deny that the last year was also pretty busy for IH (Beatle Buster, 666: all in multiple denims)

I kinda understand Lando but still…I'm only posting in the "Other brands" section and to say ones personal opinion should always be allowed.

If it wasn't allowed I would have deleted it. Was only posting my opinion about your statement. I understand that this is "Other Brands" and I honestly have no problem with people posting their thoughts/ opinions on them. Just find it odd because I don't believe you own a single piece of IH and yet, you are on the IH Forum posting about Samurai. I am officially done commenting on this subject. Have fun shitting on IH, just don't be surprised if you get on folks nerves… Respectfully, L

right lando;-)

@Beatle:

^what's the point starting the discussion again?

I like the AI's character and structure, looking forward to the post-soak pics.

And you know, that I love Fullcounts. Nothing wrong with completing a collection, especially with so many heavyweight denims. It's not always about size, status and sturdyness. But maybe we can do the Berlin trip together and see, if you change your mind.
(On the other side, do you really need any new jeans for the rest of your lifetime?)

+1…

1. Rafa I can't vote on your picture anymore 
2. We need more fit pics and such, B_F
3. The AI's are definitely gorgeous and probably will fade like madness… Any close ups of the irregularity and white dots sticking out perhaps?..
4. 
5. NO MORE POINTLESS DISCUSSIONS PLEASE, or I'm packing for wherever you live
6. I wished I kept my 710xx'es

I am really curious to see, if they fade at all. AI has so many different fading potentials - TW seem to fade very easy, Momotaros AI not at all (according to one guy on SuFu, who has seen a 7 year old, not faded AI)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

those AIs are dyed to the core…so fading will be very very hard and slow.

will update later with a first post soak fit pic and some macros perhaps. then a second soak for more shrinkage

And the TW NI were rope dyed…....

so i guess these will fade not at all, since you already have problems on holding of with washing on your "normal" pairs :P…

Tbh: they'll look brilliant either way!.. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks for all the interest!
I' own just a very simple cam that can't catch every detail like a SLR could.

Some denim close-ups

Gold button (not everyone's cup of tea)

Coin pocket rivet

The fit right after the first soak.

I've just soaked/handwashed these a second time. Hanging to dry now

[arcanum]

^ those fit is golden b_f, can you share us the post soak measurements ? they really look like s5000 rather than s510, no ? btw the denim looks really amazing !!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

sorry, I haven't taken any measurements after the first soak. but I will once they are dry from their second soak. So most likely tomorrow

Perfect fit. You can see the irregularity of the fabric - lovely. That gold button is quite ballin as well
