Samurai Jeans

@warriors22 said in Samurai Jeans:

Gave these a cold and hot soak to try to get all the shrinkage out of them. First thought love the fit n fabric! They do feel a little less hefty compared to my xhsib. Love the details throughout the jeans as well

These are 25oz?

@AskAxel can you explain further what you meant regarding how you sized these? You normally wear size 32 in Samurai or look for 32 inch waist measurement? I typically go size 34 in Iron Heart and Samurai, and look for 33.5 inch waists. The 25oz pair I have my eyes on have a 32.5 inch waist…

@Rustygate37 Ha! I had the Corlection in my cart, but didn't pull the trigger because I wasn't sure whether tariffs were going to put the cost above what SE would have charged...

[warriors22]

@worn2fade yes they are! I seen u tried samurai with their wide cut? Were u able to get that fit dialed in

[worn2fade]

@warriors22 eh dialed in enough. The hot soak and hot wash improved them a bit but nothing too crazy. I linked a video of the before and after, scroll up a bit if you wanna see it. From reading others experiences with this specific model, they advised they typically sized down one size for a TTS fit (which surprised me cause the size chart didn’t suggest a 33 having TTS measurements for me,) so me sizing up to a 35 (when I typically wear 34,) was essentially sizing up 2 sizes.. not 1 like I intended. They don’t look bad but I’m not accustomed to so much extra fabric. We’ll see how I feel when I pick them up after IIY5.

Edit: Also, I heard samurai’s 25oz is magical. Enjoy bro!

@Watty yeah, they are the ones on sale that I grabbed. Turns out I had $50 credit sitting in my Corlection account and then I received an extra $25 voucher after the purchase. Bit of dumb luck for me on that one

[AskAxel]

@americanathreads Yeah my apologies, I meant I normally wear a 32" and buy close to that measurement accordingly. The 33 in the 25oz had the closest post wash measurements on denimio to what I like. I probably could have gone for a size 34 for more comfort out of the gate but I'm expecting these to stretch an inch.

As a side note, I've found self edge's measurements to be completely cooked for some reason compared to other sites like Denimio and Okayama denim.

After playing around with the cuffs a bit I realized I really dug the look of a clean break. Ima be sending these to guilty party more than likely to get them hemmed to a 30” inseam to achieve this look. Kinda bummed I don’t have any local places in Florida I can hem these at, with shipping both ways and fees I’m looking at close to $60 for a hem…. Sheesh

Grabbed the green in the ultra heavy tee from Rivet and Hide. Love these tees.

[flannel slut]

@1WayTrip dude. Been talking myself out of this exact one for about a month now

[worn2fade]

@1WayTrip them tee’s are sick but I’d die in Florida wearing them for sure.

[freepickin]

@worn2fade I agree I think the clean break on them looks great on looser style cuts

[1WayTrip]

@flannel-slut Do it!

INDIGO & KAKISHIBU DYED HOODIE

[1WayTrip]

@Denimhead-0 Very cool

[Denimhead 0]

@1WayTrip It’s really sweet, however not much different then my UES indigo Hoodie that was half the price Still nicer though, very happy with it.

[worn2fade]

@Denimhead-0 I dig that hoodie so much and I know with a crazy amount of wear it’ll produce some nice fading but I can’t justify the price considering I could only wear it a couple months out of the year.

[1WayTrip]

@Denimhead-0 cool will check both out as would like a new hoodie. Only got a black IH one currently.

@1WayTrip I see you grabbed the green tee, one of my favs. Heavy af
