Depends if you like their efforts at trying to reproduce vintage jeans using traditional methods and machinery. From what i see, japanese jeans doesn't have the best cuts, are damn hairy and uneven(slubby), stiff, uncomfortable, and generally not very stylish as compared to the more mainstream brands.Sugar canes are pretty affordable I think? Can grab a pair of 47's off 2nd@rakuten for 200 sgd. Sugarcanes are really worth their money, looking at the amount of manual work taken to produce one, natural indigo and all. Wouldn't know anything about sams or skulls.

Blehbleh seems to have a problem with jap denims. Not stylish??? Wtf? Generally slubby?
And seriously, your comment really very personal.I'm not saying the cuts on "mainstream brands" are not nice. I think dior has one of the best cuts. And my friends look great in them.
But saying that jap denims are generally not stylish is kind of stereotyping. Just because they don't produce cuts that u like, doesn't mean they are not stylish.
Guy A:
I see I have to explain every part of my post to clear up misunderstandings with you again ronaldsh. I meant not "stylish" as in japanese repro brands come with a lack of wash, fancy hardware and or markings, prints, or any of those random crap which SOME people might find stylish. it usually comes in a raw, pretty standard 5 pocket traditional design. And yes, compared to mass-produced mainstream brands like zara, levi's non vintage, uniqlo non mij, topman etc, japanese denim are generally, I repeat, GENERALLY slubbier and hairier. I'm sorry, this is the internet, I'm sure you are old enough not to take any comments on the board personally, and if you did, I can't help you.Bumblebee, I know most japanese brands do a slim-tapered cut, usually as collabs. But hardly any skinny. To clear the misunderstandings, I don't wear skinny, nor slim-tapered anymore, so i'm coming from a neutral standpoint. But the SE05BSPs are slim-tapered, so are the pbj-x11. Some would say skulls 5010 has too roomy thighs to be considered skinny, and if you have to downsize 3 million, it wouldn't really be called a skinny cut. I'm not familiar with the various samurai limited edition cuts, but the 710xx seems to be their slimmest cut which has been around for some time, and it's barely even slim. I should rephrase "not the best cuts" into "not as many cuts as nudies".
Scribble, retired diors already, into 2nd month of my flat head 3001. Don't like dior cut and fading ;/
