Samurai Jeans

For those of you that wanted but missed out on the heavyweight natural indigo and kakishibu dyed zip hoodie that released earlier this year, Self Edge just re-stocked them (S-XXL). From their email they said Samurai made a batch just for them, so I don't think others will be getting these and not sure if Samurai will bring this item back again.
-
@Nobunaga I was waiting and snagged a 2XL
-
@Nobunaga I’ve been waiting for this one, sized up to a large. Hoping it works out because this run looks slimmer than the size charts that are still up on other sites from last run.
-
@denami Same size as far as I can tell. I have one from each release.
-
@samo hmm, redcast and dant have large listed with a chest measure of 46.5” and 47.2”self edge for this run is listed 44.5”.
-
I find Self Edge to be an outlier on measurements. All I know is I have a size large from the original run and I bought a second from this run and they fit exactly the same. Could be I got lucky on that, I'm not sure.
-
@samo appreciate the feedback. My only other samurai piece is one of their flannels that is a medium and fits so this size chart threw me off.
-
@denami I can measure the large if you want. Just tell me what measurements you are looking for
-
@samo that will be awesome. Can you measure the chest, shoulder and center back length?
-
@denami mine is a size L:
Chest: 45”
Shoulder: 19.75” (straight across)
Length: 26.25 (from seam below hood to hem on the back) -
@Nobunaga just grabbed a XXL now too.
-
@samo thanks, slightly larger than what’s listed but I think both medium and large can work for me
-
If you don't mind my asking, what are your vitals such that you went with the XXL over the XL?
I'm definitely leaning XL, but you don't necessarily seem that much larger than me.
-
@Watty 24 chest and 20 shoulder. I prefer my hoodies to be reasonably roomy
-
I should also add that I managed to find the last one on special at a different online store. Their posted measurements were smaller than SE latest run too
-
@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...
-
@worn2fade yes they are! I seen u tried samurai with their wide cut? Were u able to get that fit dialed in
-
@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!
