Description

The Samurai S211VX Bushido Benkei Indigo 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 crafted from factory-washed and sun-dried unsanforized 17 oz. Japanese Selvedge Denim produced exclusively for Samurai on vintage shuttle looms that operate at extremely low speeds and require hand operation. This method results in a lower tension fabric with a pure indigo rope-dyed warp and white weft, using thick and twisted #5 slub yarns that have a rough texture reminiscent of denim from yesteryear, with irregularities that will soften quickly, developing a structured drape and vintage fade patterns. Designed in Samurai's Relaxed Tapered silhouette, this modern cut fits comfortably in the seat and accommodates thicker thighs while tapering to a narrower hem, forming a personalized fit that conforms to the body. Assembled with specialty Samurai warrior iconography throughout, including a silver and red lamé woven selvedge line, a commemorative embossed natural undyed cowhide leather patch, heavy-duty woven jacquard pocket bags, a decorative pine nut iron cast 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 thoughtful design in every element, creating a unity of garment and wearer.

Collection: Samurai

Samurai Jeans was established by Tohru Nogami in 1998 in the center of Osaka, where Amerika-mura was in full swing. In a little vintage clothing shop, right in the middle of this booming epicenter of creativity reinterpreting American music and fashion culture, Samurai was born based on the concept they could create garments no one else could. For over 25 years, Nogami has worked intensely on that mission by developing unique fabrics with vintage shuttle looms, creating iconic fits, and...
