Description

The Samurai SJWS-SC01W Samurai Cotton Indigo Denim Work Shirt is a special edition piece crafted from a factory-washed and sun-dried unsanforized 10 oz. Japanese Selvedge Denim produced exclusively for Samurai on vintage shuttle looms that operate at extremely low speeds and require hand operation. It yields a lower-tension fabric with heavy slub yarns that have a rough texture like the denims of yesteryear’s workwear, with irregularities that soften quickly, offering a structured drape and a unique patina for a dutiful style-forward heritage collector’s item. This Zero+ denim features a thick, twisted #10 slub yarn for the indigo rope-dyed warp and kinari undyed yarns for the weft. This Samurai Cotton series denim is uniquely made from a blended yarn of Texas-grown cotton for the weft and Organic Japanese Cotton re-established by the Samurai Cotton Project in Hyogo prefecture, employing an ancient native cotton strain and hand-cultivation techniques. This Samurai Work Shirt comes in the Westerners Cut with a classic fit suitable for various body types and style profiles. This shirt features signature details inspired by vintage originals, such as flap-front buttoned chest pockets and button barrel cuffs, and is finished with custom white melamine buttons. The Samurai Cotton Indigo Denim Work Shirt is fully chainstitched throughout, with a triple-stitched yoke, body, sleeves, and inseam run-off using contrasting white thread, which combines with a kuri chestnut selvedge line on the interior placket and side seam gussets to signify its provenance and durability. Representing one of the most collectible Japanese producers that continues to innovate through intensive old-world techniques, this Samurai piece celebrates exclusive material development, precise craftsmanship, and thoughtful design in every element, creating a unity between garment and wearer.
