Description

The Samurai S510SC-KI Japanese Cotton Kinari is a High Straight tapered fit with a mid-high rise, roomy seat, and broad thigh that gently tapers through the leg to a wide hem. This jean is crafted from factory-washed and sun-dried unsanforized 18 oz. Japanese Selvedge Denim produced exclusively for Samurai on vintage shuttle looms that operate at extremely low speeds and require hand operation. This process results in a lower tension fabric with a completely undyed Kinari ecru warp and weft using thick and twisted #5 slub yarns that have a rough texture reminiscent of vintage denim. It boasts an irregular 6x5 weave that will soften quickly and develop a structured drape and unique wear patterns. This natural denim is uniquely made from a blended yarn of American and Organic Japanese Cotton re-established by the Samurai Cotton Project in Hyogo prefecture, employing an ancient native cotton strain and hand-cultivation techniques. Constructed in Samurai's Regular Straight style, this modern interpretation of a classic silhouette is designed with a tailored straight cut that accommodates all body types comfortably while molding a personalized fit over time. Adorned with specialty Samurai warrior and farmer iconography, including an olive-brown woven selvedge line, a commemorative painted cowhide leather patch, heavy-duty woven jacquard pocket bags, a decorative sunrise iron cast button fly, embossed copper riveting, and hidden back rivets, this jean is constructed with a chainstitched waist, seat, and hem, along with bartack reinforcements throughout. As one of the most collectible Japanese producers, Samurai continues to innovate through intensive old-world techniques, celebrating exclusive material developments, precise craftsmanship, and thoughtful design in every element to create a unity between garment and wearer.
