This series started with the 2020 model, and the fifth installment features dragons showcased in various locations. The pocket bags are crafted from the original Samurai's dragon-patterned fabric, which they also used for this season's aloha shirts. The sewing specifications highlight green and yellow accents. Additionally, they designed a new flasher and leather patch specifically for this model. The fabric is their signature 21oz denim, and the silhouette is a regular straight, with slightly slimmer thighs compared to our S510XX regular straight.
Samurai once again presents its annual model, this time dedicated to the Year of the Dragon for 2024. For this edition, they have utilized their iconic Kiwami fabric and adorned the jeans with numerous details, such as the dragon-patterned pocket lining fabric featured in their Dragon Hawaiian Shirt, iron-made gold Taiko buttons, and green stitching referencing the dragon's scales.
These jeans feature a classic and comfortable regular straight cut, designed to provide a timeless fit for individuals of all styles. With a mid-rise waist, they offer a balanced silhouette that effortlessly combines fashion and functionality. As with many other Samurai Jeans, this limited edition runs slightly small in the one-wash version. In general, it is recommended to choose one size larger than your usual. The jeans are unsanforized but one-washed, so there will be no further shrinkage.
The denim used is their heavyweight 21oz Kiwami fabric, meticulously woven on a vintage wooden shuttle loom using a blend of US and Australian cotton. The yarn is a unique #4.5 x #4.5 original slubby yarn, adding texture and character to the fabric. Only the most skilled and accomplished weaving craftsmen were able to tame the looms that created this durable denim, weighing over 20 ounces. The dedication and expertise of these craftsmen are symbolized by the strands of red and gold lamé running along the selvedge line of this exceptional 21oz denim masterpiece.
