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:

@Max:

Hi there, Tilmann! Nice to see you around here, too. but…you're just in for the 1000 members competition, admit it.

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.

Max Power

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

I thought it would be a nice idea to give a little visual fit guide for all interested people.
I’ve gained some weight so some fits are tighter than I planned them to be.

My stats
Height: 6’
Weight: 185 lbs
My real waist is now at 35 (used to be 34 and I plan to get that again)

S0500XX 33x36 Lot.12 (SD2)

S0510XX66-2 34x36 Lot.7 (SDO)

S0510XX66-RR 34x36 Lot.12 (SDO)

S3000VX 34x36 Lot.11 (SDO)

S5000VX 34x36 Lot.10 (SDO)

S510XX19oz 34x36 Lot.10 (SDO)

S510XX21oz 34x36 Lot.12 (SDO)

S710XX19oz 33x36 Lot.12 (SD2)

Pictures are all taken today with the same lighting and same distance to the cam. Hopefully this is a little help.

beautiful_FrEaK

as I promied. It's gonna be

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 / 35,75

Never 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"

Beatle

How long do you soak them ? That´s a lot of starch and dye…

beautiful_FrEaK

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

Max Power

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.

Simon

LHT - softness it up a bit I'd imagine?

Probably not the most comfortable jeans in the world to wear.. But that selvage color is awesome ::)

Max Power

Agreed, the selvage looks great. b_f, why does this item still miss in your collection?

beautiful_FrEaK

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

Max Power

…not when it comes to Samurai, right?

beautiful_FrEaK

There is always a limit you shouldn't cross
