SAMURAI "S3000VX17oz-SDS" 17OZ MURASAME SLUB RELAX STRAIGHT JEANS

Named after Murasame—the Japanese word for “village rain”—these jeans embody the fleeting intensity of a summer storm: powerful, unpredictable, and ever-changing. Just as rain sweeps through the landscape, disappears, and returns without warning, the Murasame denim shifts in tone and character with light, wear, and time.

At the heart of this piece lies a 17oz extra slub selvedge denim, woven from rope-dyed yarns at one of Japan’s few remaining mills capable of such complex dyeing. Deep indigo and subtle blackish hues mingle across the surface, creating a stormy color that echoes rolling clouds and passing showers. The irregular white slubs break through like flashes of light through rain, while the rough, uneven texture captures the raw energy of nature in motion.

Each pair promises a unique evolution—high-contrast fades, rippling tones, and a sense of movement that deepens with every wear. It’s denim that doesn’t just age; it transforms, mirroring the rhythm of your own life and the passage of time.

The cut is based on Samurai’s S3000VXII pattern: a mid-high rise with a relaxed straight leg. It offers generous room through the top block and thighs, delivering all-day comfort without losing structure or shape. This classic yet rugged silhouette complements the dramatic personality of the fabric perfectly.

Finishing details include iron “Taiko” buttons, copper rivets, a natural cowhide leather patch, and Samurai’s signature jacquard-lined pocket bags—refinements that reflect the brand’s deep respect for craftsmanship inside and out.

Fit:
The Murasame jeans run slightly small in their one-wash version. We recommend sizing up one from your usual size and referring to the size chart for accuracy. The fabric is unsanforized but one-washed, ensuring no further shrinkage after purchase.
