Samurai Jeans

Looks like persimmon dye?

I don't like buckle backs but as far as those go I thought Roy's construction and integration into the yoke was better than two contact points on the back as every other one seems to be constructed. Seemed like it would actually be functional.

Tried to order these directly from Lua Shop few months ago - they won't ship overseas.
Tried to order these through proxy - they don't like to ship to corporate (SuToCorp)
Seems like you will have to use local/private proxy service - that is if they ship at all…

Order from here….

Send them an email in English, and use Google translate to provide a rough Japanese translation to go with it, stick to very basic English….

"I want to buy 1 Samurai Type II jacket in size **"

.....for example.

I have bought from e2nd a few times and they are very reliable with fast service.

I'll second what Mega said about 2nd; good service, and they will respond quickly to email in English.

I just purchased a pair of S5000vx 25oz, as my first Samurai. The denim feels really nice and it´s the darkest i've seen for a while (similar to Flat head 14,5oz). It dosnt feel as heavy and brutal as IH 25oz, and as i doscovered af few ours later it really isn't. I even used the smaller silhuette 666 25oz to compare with - Less fabric dispite the much higher rise.

Weight was :

Samurai S5000vx 25 oz = 1.252 kg
IH 666 25 oz = 1.408 kg

If the IH 25 oz really is 25oz and i believe it is, This Samurai must be 22/23 oz.

Damn i feel like a geek now…......so not rock'n roll.

Interesting..

I see what you did there…. and have to completely agree.  Great sellers.

I have some 710 Sammies in 19oz and they don't feel anywhere near as heavy as my IH 666 18oz…..but I still like them alot.

[tatmantall]

Had correspondence with MR. BiG last night.

Per Gordon: the hawk series has been confirmed in the 17 oz. zero denim, will also be produced in either the 15, 21, or 25 oz. all in the 710 cut and hope to have them produced by spring of 2014.

[superfuzz]

Nice, hopefully they'll have some black hawks in size 28 next time. I want a pair!

[ben2t]

S710

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great looking fit right there

[tatmantall]

100% agree… Maybe one of my favorite 710 fits I've seen. Wish mine looked that good on me!
