@Kasi. Thanks!

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I just picked this shirt up and it’s certainly impressive. I’m curious if you have washed it yet and if it shrank at all? I know it’s rinsed and shrinkage should be minimal but it’s the first samurai shirt I’ve owned and making sure that’s accurate before I exchange for a smaller size.
-
@denami I haven’t washed the new one yet, but my other indigo rope dyed Sammies have all seen the washing machine. With these, it’s always cold wash and hang dry for me - zero noticeable shrinkage
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thanks for the reply. I’m slightly between sizes and went with a medium, if it shrinks a little with a warm wash/dry it would be perfect but it’s always tough to make that call. All the size charts I’ve found for smalls vary so widely that it might be too small in the shoulders.

Scored a SIN22-01W on the bay

Heck yeah!

Doing this one for the Redline Rally - S551XX25OZ-25TH
As usual I'm sure progress will be slow and unimpressive, but looking forward to it nonetheless. Really enjoy Samurai 25oz.Happy to have this one in size 46, previously had a different Samurai 25oz Type I in 44, which was ultimately too tight in the shoulders/chest.

I was very close to picking up a pair of the
S510HXII "Samurai Cotton GL3" 15.8oz today but the sizing seemed very close to my 888s and I wanted something with more room through seat and hips. Anyone have experience with those two and can tell me if I’m just crazy? -
I wanted to get another pair of 634's in 21 oz, but I decided to try one from Samurai and got the Kiwami 19 oz denim in the 510 cut. Fantastic fit and fabric.

@Crispy-Heron I got it from Denimio, but that was 2 years ago I'm afraid, so probably sold out long ago. It's been sitting unused (yes, I have too much denim), was planning to use it for the last Redline rally, but never got started.
Samurai seems to do the 25oz jackets/chore coats every once in a while though, so I'm sure you'll get one eventually if keep your eyes peeled. Samurai are also pretty good with publishing their seasonal catalogs well in advance from what I've seen, so might be worth keeping an eye on those.

@JunkPants would love one of these. Where you get it?
-
@JunkPants - thanks that is very helpful. I will keep my eyes peeled.

Man, the S510XX19ozII 19oz ‘Kiwami’ Selvedge Jeans - Regular Straight that I scored recently feels like the IH UHR. Very stiff and cardboard like feeling. Hope they break in and feel supple over time.
-
@the246guy Did those shrink at all? Did you have to go up a full size? I’ve been eyeing those as my potential next pair of jeans in a year or so.
-
The sizing is pretty close to the 634 S 21 from IH, but slightly bigger in all dimensions. Noticeable was on the knees as they are close to an inch and a half bigger comparatively to the IH. I did not soak them or wash them yet. So I did not size up. These are Tag size 32 like the IH Tag size 32 in the 634 S 21 cut. The most satisfying is the length on these as I can cuff them now. On my IH 634 S 21, I could have never imagined to cuff them.

@the246guy damn you must be tall!
