did you just sign up ? Welcome, crazy Samurai
no I think I signed up some months ago but as I don't own any IH stuff I don't have much to contribute
-
Hi Mike!
Seems there are now 3 boards one has to follow (SF not really my cup of tea) -
Hi there, Tilmann! Nice to see you around here, too. but…you're just in for the 1000 members competition, admit it.
-
Loyal SF fan here - has done nothing but treat me fantastically…
Haha, I was being sarcastic ::)
Although relatively low yield compared to SF and a tad less friendly compared to IH or mN, I think SF is quite entertaining, and useful for getting up to date on smaller, up-and-coming brands!I only visit the streetwear forum though…being stuck in shirt/tie/suit all day makes me not want to read about them after hours
Back on topic though, I would very much like to own this Samurai Auto-mobile Club cap:

Dude…you registered on October the 31th...I'm here for ages...JUNE! So I see your reason for being here
I have to admit that I haven't looked too much into Samurai's stuff besides their jeans.

Ok, point for you. But still, cool to have you round here.

Thx Flo!
Since there was talk about my fit guide some posts above, I thought why not x-posting it. There you go

Weight: 185 lbs

Samurai S5000BK Size 34 Lot.12 (SDO)
pre soak (excuse the grandma-socks)
post soak
Measurements pre and post soak. Soaked once with light agitation by hand. Hottest tap water, maybe one hour in. Never had a pair of Samurai shrink that much!
waist: 34,5 / 32
front rise: 11,5 / 11
back rise: 14,75 / 14,25
thigh: 13 / 12
knee: 9,875 / 9,25
leg opening: 9,25 / 8,75
inseam: 38,5 / 35,75Never was that much into black denim but ah_long changed my mind
The contrast between the copper rivets and the black denim is so freaking nice.And a bonus pic. Some guys refered to "squid jizz"

It was just an hour or so. There was instantly a lot of dye and even more came as I moved the jeans in the water. But they turned out darker after the soak
-
You could have done an overdye in this soup.

Just saw that BIG has a Samurai model that is 24oz raw and FICKUNG 27oz post-wash… Anyone has this one?
The 24oz (regular) is stiff and a wee bit cardboard like, but OK. Nothing as spectacular as the SR from IH, but respectable nonetheless. But shit 27oz is amazing. Makes you wonder where the OZ-barrier is located… And where comfort is sacrificed.

Probably not the most comfortable jeans in the world to wear.. But that selvage color is awesome ::)
-
Agreed, the selvage looks great. b_f, why does this item still miss in your collection?
-
I wanted the RHT 24oz model but it's soldout everywhere. LHT doesn't appeal to me THAT much altough I'm really looking forward to the S500JX-LR.
And at some point, money is an issue
