Samurai Jeans was established in Osaka in 1998 based on the concept that jeans ultimately have no value unless the creator and wearer are united in their commitment. They strive to create fabrics with unique texture and atmosphere, pushing the envelope of what is possible with denim by paying close attention to the provenance of the cotton types they use, their characteristics, the shape of the threads they spin, while also striving to use traditional Japanese dyeing and weaving techniques rather than the more modern and generic methods found elsewhere.

Indigo 15oz Otokogi Selvedge Regular Straight Jean (S0510XX–11)
A 15oz regular straight model representative of Samurai Jeans. This model has a little room around the waist, and gentle taper down to the hem. With a vintage–inspired feel, the silhouette strikes that perfect balance between being too thick or too thin. Samurai have used their15oz Otokogi denim for these, taking our slubby #6 cotton thread, leaving the little bits of cotton waste in the mix, and pushing the vintage looms to the limit. This gives these jeans a rough look and texture, while also allowing for those much–loved high contrast fades. The exclusive leather patch used here is based on the classic Samurai patch and features the warriors Musashi and Kojiro, the moon, pine trees, the Shinto “torii” gate, and Mt. Fuji, while the two seagulls on this patch show that these are the successor to the S0510XX model. Other details include an exclusive flasher, the iron sunrise buttons, copper coin–shaped rivets, and their ‘Impermanence’ jaquard slake
