Samurai 710 DMO size 36

Samurai 510 21oz. 8 months, 2 hand washes.

Some 710 BKB shots. Effective wear 2 months. These fade fast.

Just got a pair of these based on your fit pics, was hoping they'd be slow faders but really don't mind based on the above. It's a nice cut the 710. Sized up but shrank to a nice snug straight taper after a hot wash. Will post pics when able.

I was also hoping for slow faders but they are the fastest I've ever owned. And I also went up one size - should be perfect in the long run.

Really happy with the fit, the denim is superb, just wish they'd do a no fade for smarter times. Will practice my penguin walk and try resist lower body movement

any of you folks own or have fondled a Samurai oxford/button down office shirt?  if so, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. i'm specifically concerned with quality (fabric feel, buttons, how its stitched up) & sizing (easy enough if I can find a size chart I trust  :'() .

thanks in advance for any help.

I acquired a few over the years - quality, fabric, pattern, fit and workmanship is more than fine. Fit is more on slimmer side…

I'm right in between size L and XL - size XXL is hard to get by, if on offer at all.

Let's see if I can find some pics...

Here are 2 of the less-workwear button-down shirts…

Fabrics are substantial & unique & outstanding.

Depending on the style and the fabric there can be lots of selvage details…

Their work-shirts are more on the generous, forgiving side with the contours…

Awesome @Foxy! Where did you buy them if you mind asking me?

Enjoy ya addiction!

Rakuten - 2nd, DC4 (back in the day), ordered through Take 5, auction on yahoo.JP, etc…

BlueInGreen - if you're in NYC…

thanks @FOXY I tried BIG & it looks like they don't have them anymore. If not too much trouble, could you advise on what your Sammie shirts measure & if they shrink?  I think I might just jump on one in XL  and be done with it.

After I grab this I'll be grabbing at least one UES oxford.

Oxfords are my current thing 

[FOXY]

Will try to do this over the weekend…

[madmonday]

fair enough.

thanks for your time & your knowledge, I always look forward to your posts.

Most of my Samurai button-down shirts are in Berlin, not here in Moscow.
The only shirt made with the same pattern that I have with me is this one made from a persimmon Oxford…

Lots of selvage details around the cuffs…

3 button collar…

As you can see this shirt is from their 2013 collection and a size XL…

I took some measurements…

Like most of the Japanese shirts I own (RJB for example), the Samurai button-downs are on the small and slim side. The tricky part for me being the measurements of the waist line…
This particular shirt is in size XL, while my 2 white ones are in size L (IIRC) - this is probably due to the fact, that these shirts are made from raw fabrics (which shrinks individually) and pattern adjustments resulting in model specific measurements.
I would guess, that a size XL in the white shirts would be wider than this particular shirt.
Their work-shirts are more generous in the measurements and straight in the waist.

very helpful information.

Think I'll risk an XL oxford from DENIMIO

thanks again
