Description

The Samurai S211BK Koku Benkei Black is a Relaxed Tapered fit with a medium rise, featuring a roomy seat and thigh with a strongly tapered leg and a narrow hem. This jean is made from a factory-washed and sun-dried unsanforized 17 oz. Japanese Selvedge Denim produced exclusively for Samurai on vintage shuttle looms that run at extremely low speeds and require hand operation. This results in a lower tension fabric with a sulfur rope dyed warp and grey weft using thick and twisted #5 slub yarns that have a rough texture like the denim of yesteryear, with irregularities that will soften quickly and develop a structured drape and grey-scale fade patterns. Made in Samurai's Relaxed Tapered, this modern silhouette is designed to fit comfortably in the seat and accommodate thicker thighs with a narrower hem while forming to the body in a personalized fit. Assembled with specialty Samurai warrior iconography throughout like a silver and red lamé woven selvedge line, a commemorative embossed black cowhide leather patch, heavy-duty woven jacquard pocket bags, a decorative pine nut iron cast blackened finished button fly, embossed copper riveting, and hidden back rivets, this jean is constructed with a chainstitched waist, seat, and hem with bartack reinforcements throughout. Representing one of the most collectible Japanese producers that continues to innovate through intensive old-world techniques, these Samurai jeans celebrate exclusive material developments, precise craftsmanship, and considered design through every element to create a unity of garment and wearer.
