Samurai Jeans

[Megatron1505]

Having said that, my only actual "hands on" experience of Samurai tops comes from three or four tees, a hoody and a type 2 jacket I've owned. Never actually owned a button up shirt.

Cheers guys, I would like to be sure before ordering and have sent them an email because there are no measurement charts in the description but the email doesn't make any sense with google translator…

Got my old 710 out…still love the denim and fit so  much, I'm considering another pair.

[Finn666]

damn Flo, how old is "old"?…not more than 10months, right?

you beast

Their sizing for shirts is a bit inconsistent - I'm wearing their shirts in M and L depending on the model, thickness of fabric and shrinkage of fabric.

Getting actual measurements from Samurai will be tricky and I fear that 2nd also might not sent measurements…

Could you show super close up of the denim on that 710

[Max Power]

Japanese website mention this washed on their sizing chart but i have doubt on the translation, can anybody help confirm if tag size 38 has 52cm and i can expect minimal or no shrinkage at all if i soak/wash this one or should i consider the size 40 chest 54cm and expect some noticeable shrinkage. many thanks.

[Megatron1505]

All Samurai denim jackets are one washed, you will not get much shrinkage. Trust me, I had the same question a couple of years ago, owned one very similar to the one pictured (mine was the Jin denim), and washed it with no shrinkage.

Thanks for your very helpful input megatron.

I'm a couple of months into my S5000VX and I've just noticed the front pocket stitching coming undone, is there any way to repair this myself or should I send them off and get it done professionally?

Cheers

Wabi-sabi man. Busted pocket threads look pretty cool in my opinion.

(but if you hate it, I would check the Repairs and Modifications thread for home repair tips).

[Megatron1505]

Common problem on these, mine went after about 4 months and I just left them. Never got any worse so…. up to you I guess.

[Finn666]

it really isn't a big problem and somehow common for samurai denim and the thread around the front pockets (back pockets as well btw.!)…on the other hand it's an more than easy fix (diy)...I'm not 100% sure, but somewhere in this or the repairs thread, there should be some pics of my pair with the same problem and its solution.

[Max Power]

I've got two left hands full of thumbs but this is a fix even I could manage…so DIY
