Self Edge has a 15% off summer sale. IH sadly not included. Picked up the Samurai S510XX25OZ-SP and black Bakers Pants for 15% off.

I am loving my S510XX25OZ-SPs, a very comfortable fit. I've been wearing mine for about a month.

@worn2fade Yes. Fabric is lovely but the dye takes to it slightly differently across the face - I have an olive shirt and its slightly lighter where the fabric is slubbier. It kind of looks spotty at first. This seems to fade.

I think the fabric is better in lighter colors where this is less noticable.

@Jeansman how was the waist on this one? I saw a size 32, which is technically my size but it seems to measure small. Do you know if there is much stretch? Im tempted but should have bought size 33 when it was available....so just wondering whether to gamble lol

@cyclops waist was very tight on my tag 36s, they measured 34.8, was supposed to be around 35.5. They seem to be stretching out a bit but I only have half a dozen wears on them.

@rasta haha hmmm thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Dang, i normally go 32.5 as a baseline where its comfy and fitted, i saw one place for a tag 32 its measuring 31.89 (81cm), so...damn. i think i just need to walk away and not take the risk....its hard though haha

Is it actually a tropical weather kind of fabric? Is it the first shirt you’d grab if temps are high?

@cyclops mine have only stretched out by about half an inch, i bought the 33 and and probably should have gone a 34
I'm only about 10 wears in but I'm on the fence atm if I should keep them. The denim itself is unreal, honestly only beaten by the UHR imo.

cyclops

@AskAxel haha yeah you mentioned the UHR, would you say its similar? Im wearing my UHR and love it, though its starting to heat up here. Cant wait to see more fades....

AskAxel

@cyclops Similar hand feel although the samurai has a much rougher surface texture and fuzz to it

@worn2fade Yes! Its very light and perfect for summer shirt - if it comes around again in white / ecru I will buy another. Would be light for a jacket.

This is not the one I got but the back shows what I mean on the dots. They occur where the fabric has more slub. https://rivetandhide.com/gbp/samurai-tropical-weather-western-shirt-olive

Seems less pronounced on the black.
