@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.
-
@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
-
@Denimhead-0 heavy af is pretty accurate
I really love the fit on these and also the colours. Only trouble is I am acquiring lots of heavy warm tees but no lighter ones
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

@will6er nice cheers.

@1WayTrip Me too, looking forward to fall.

Hey guys has anyone tried on their heavy chinos before? Just asking about SJ42BP and wondered whether they have much stretch? Or any general feedback on them?
-
@cyclops I have the SJ48CP (I think that's the code) which is essentially the same trouser but in a wide cut. I love them, I wasn't too sure what to expect but since they arrived they have quickly become (aside from denim) my favorite pants to wear. I've found mine have given about half an inch in the waist, so not really a lot and that is post a cold wash and with some decently heavy wearing so far.
The material is thick and firm at first but they have started to drape well now. Samurai state they are 15oz and when wearing they definitely feel like they're in the 15-16oz!
Edit: Fixed an incorrect product code

@AskAxel thanks man! Really appreciate it. Im between sizes for their 32 tag. so wasnt sure whether to go 31.5 or 32.6 etc..... with orslow and other pants they always have a bit of give, so i wasnt sure how much these have etc. So thanks for the feedback!
-
@cyclops Im not sure how the measurements differ between the wide and the slim cuts so bear that in mind, but if this helps I am a natural 33" waist and generally wear 32-33" in jeans. Samurai S3100VX I wear a 33, the latest Samurai 25oz I bought a 33" too. The Chinos I bought in a 32" and they fit almost perfectly after a little break in. Denimio places all of those at around the 82-84cm waist mark and I've found Denimio to be pretty reliable for samurai's measurements in my experience.
Let us know what you think of the chinos!

@cyclops the SJ42BP is the same material as the baker pants. The SJ42CP is a heavy chino pants. Assuming you are talking about the BP, there is a bit more give in these than the CP in my experience. I don’t think there is a SJ48BP, but there is a SJ48CP which is a wide version of the chino pants, so you guys may be talking about different fabrics - chino vs. back satin. Just wanted to chime in because the two fabrics do stretch a bit differently.
-
@samo thanks for the input. The one im thinking of is the SAMURAI JEANS Heavy Back Satin Trousers Olive SJ42BP. I saw them on "earthmarket" so was thinking about buying them. Might go with tag 32....but it sounds like most people like the quality of it...
-
@cyclops yeah those are the same fabric as the baker pants and they will give a bit in the waist.
-
It softens up a lot. I have one from last season and it's got 1 wash. I was surprised how much it's soften up with a wash and some wear. It's a nice lighter sweat shirt.

Marvellous fabric. My Masunagas peaking from pocket -
@cyclops Samurai sizing is interesting. I'm 36" in their s3000 zero denim and s3100 at 35" was too big. Check the specific cut. Generally 33-34" in IH too. Was lucky enough to visit Samurai jeans in Osaka. Amazing store and great service!

@Denimhead-0 said in Samurai Jeans:
@rasta Did it loose much indigo after first wash?
Maybe a bit, she definitely doesn’t get as much attention as she should. Too many hoodies in the rotation!
