Samurai - 15oz "Otokogi" Selvedge Denim Jeans - Regular Straight O/W
How could we say no to these jeans? They have custom hardware designed to pay homage to jeans from the 1940s/50s. Their Otokogi denim is 100% Texas cotton known for its rough texture and impeccable vintage fading qualities. It's a short fibre cotton that creates the rough texture you see. Normally, those fibers are removed to make the cotton smooth, but Samarui adds more to ramp it up even more. They've also used 100% Texas cotton sewing throughout, something we rarely see these days. This denim is for the purist at heart. As the denim is spun at a high tension, even post soak/wash they will become even more stiff (luckily they're only 15oz to start, and not 25). This will result in some of the best fading denim on the planet.

Fit Notes: Andy is wearing a size 31 in these. He is typically a 30 in North American brands and 31 in Japanese brands. These are a classic straight with plenty of room throughout. The one-wash also helps with getting a proper size as you don't have to worry as much about shrinkage. Don't be afraid to size up, though. 95% of our returns are because people buy too small of a size. Shop owner Tommy is our standard fit model and wears a size 32. Tommy is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 32-33" waist. His typical Japanese size is 32.
