I’m curious if it can be confirmed that Samurai and SDA are in fact being outsourced to China?

@Yoprst Probably even the thought of outsourcing was too much. Sounds complete opposite of what IH is all about.

Didn't mean to hurt anybody's feeling. However, yes I am a sinner
Tell you what - never say never. Once there was used cotton from Zimbabwe, now it is from Texas... Money talks my friend, money talks. I am old enough to learn it's true. Hope nobody's feelings were hurt again.

Can not tell you for 100% sure abt Samurai jeans (though Nogami-san already hurt his fans feelings making his jeans totally facelees by removing tabs and arcuates), but SDA doesn't make secret of it. Check it out online for yourself.

@Yoprst I believe the use of cotton from Texas is because is was totally indistinguishable from Zimbabwe cotton, if not better and Zimbabwe cotton was giving a green cast to the denim and it’s been said Haraki does not like green cast denim. Nor do I, always been a redcast guy, so I’m loving the decision!

QFT

@Mizmazzle I looked SDA's Made in china products up and it seems it's limited to some graphic tees, embroidered jackets and hoodies... I think their selvedge denim products are still MIJ. Can't recommend them enough. Really like SDA.

@Yoprst you are the one that made the statement and then you tell people who question this they should look it up themselves. Very weird way to make a point.

[Mizmazzle]

@FlavourFade I’ve seen some really nice shirts from SDA I’ve been curious about. Kinda crazy that one of the Osaka 5 would outsource like that, even on some basic pieces.

Tell you what, as soon as I get my Blue Monster Denimio/SDA collab delivered I’ll take a nice fat zoomed in photo of the “made in Japan” part . Cmon now….

[FedmahnKassad]

Just reading the replies and these are all quite old so I have to ask... this isn't coming back, is it?

[goosehd]

@FedmahnKassad probably not, but never say never. Tagging @ShopatIronHeart for confirmation.

[moskiitto]

@FedmahnKassad also wishing the same, here is the last comment though

@moskiitto I know but we have to fight the good fight. Perhaps one day these come back...

[WithBongInHand]

Woah these are sick! Indigo x Black is my favorite looking denim quite possibly.

I’m here to fight the good fight too.

@FedmahnKassad @goosehd is exactly right, it's unlikely but never say never!

[kojimastreets]

@goosehd am I misremembering something. Didn’t these just release? Or was that last year? I know I have a back up pair in my closet I scored sometime in the last 12 motnhs

[goosehd]

@kojimastreets these look to have been a one and done from June 2022. No restocks from what I can see in this thread. Maybe you’re thinking of the 25ib?

[kojimastreets]

@goosehd completely confused the two. Yep it was the 25oz
