T-SHIRTS

This T-shirt draws inspiration from the timeless design of vintage souvenir jackets, capturing the essence of Japan's cultural and artistic heritage. Featuring iconic motifs such as Mount Fuji, a geisha, a map of Japan, and the word "Japan," the design evokes the charm and nostalgia of traditional Japanese souvenirs. On the front, a striking dragon graphic—a classic symbol often seen in vintage jackets—adds a dynamic and powerful element. Known for its versatility and intricate variations, the dragon design further enriches the T-shirt’s connection to this celebrated style.

Step into history with this striking pocket T-shirt featuring a bold samurai warrior print, inspired by the same legendary design showcased on our open-collar shirt. This piece pays homage to the samurai of the Kamakura period (1185–1333), whose battle training often included hunting, as they prepared for the challenges of war.

The design recounts a legendary tale set at the base of Mount Fuji, where a courageous samurai faced a giant serpent in the depths of a pitch-black cave. Armed with only his sword, he defeated the beast poised to devour him, restoring peace to the land—a story that has endured through centuries in Japanese folklore.

• Unique Design: Intricate samurai warrior print inspired by traditional Japanese folklore.

• Classic Fit: Comfortable and timeless, perfect for casual wear.

A t-shirt fabric made with an uneven #10 yarn spun in the same way as our 17oz “Zero” denim. The weight is 16oz.

Natural color: Purposely not bleached or dyed, we’ve preserved the natural ecru color and atmosphere of the organic cotton itself. This color is known as ‘kinari’ in Japanese. 

Black bean color: The place where we grow our organic cotton is called Sasayama and it is also home to local black soybean production. We’ve used the juice of these black beans (which is normally just thrown away) as a natural dye, resulting in a very unique, organic, and eco-friendly color. 

Chestnut color: Along with black soybeans, the Sasayama area is also famous for its own brand of chestnuts called “Tamba” chestnuts. We’ve extracted a dye from the astringent skins of these chestnuts and mixed it up to make a really attractive color, falling somewhere between beige and brown.

Founded in 1997 in Osaka, Samurai is one of the most appreciated denim labels in the world. The name was inspired by the duel of 1612 between Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi, the two swordsmen were bitter rivals at the time.  The duel began with both men on guard as a show of respect for the other’s skill with their own style and technique. In the end, though, there could be only one winner. Musashi had provoked Kojirō to make the first attack. Miyamoto quickly countered and succeeded in breaking Kojirō’s left ribs and puncturing his lungs, eventually killing him.  With such history behind, Samurai Jeans could never go wrong and built a history of its own in the denim world.
