SAMURAI "S511VX17oz-25M" YEAR OF THE SNAKE 17OZ SLIM TAPERED JEANS

Samurai Jeans honors the Year of the Snake with a limited-edition release that blends bold artistry and traditional craftsmanship. Cut from Samurai’s renowned 17oz unsanforized selvedge denim, this model arrives in a modern slim tapered fit, tailored for clean lines without compromising comfort. The fabric has undergone a one-wash treatment, ensuring it’s ready to wear right away with no additional shrinkage expected.

What sets this commemorative piece apart is the intricate detailing inspired by the zodiac’s sixth sign. The pocket bags are woven with a striking indigo snakeskin jacquard—an elaborate nod to the serpent’s place in the Chinese zodiac. Accents continue throughout the jeans: a vivid red-coated top button delivers an eye-catching contrast against the deep indigo, while the red and silver lamé selvedge ID reinforces the celebratory theme. On the waistband, a custom goatskin leather patch is embossed with the character 巳 (mi), symbolizing the Snake. Samurai’s signature “Hinode” button fly, embossed hardware, and selvedge-finished coin pocket round out the thoughtful construction.

Beyond the details, these jeans embody Samurai’s devotion to storytelling through denim. Each element, from the commemorative patch to the gleam of the lamé selvedge, reflects both reverence for Japanese heritage and the brand’s dedication to producing unique, collectible garments. Their distinctive back pocket stitching remains intact, reminding wearers that this is not just a seasonal release, but a continuation of Samurai’s uncompromising legacy.

Fit Guidance: This Year of the Snake model follows the familiar pattern of running slightly small, even in its one-wash form. To achieve the ideal fit, sizing up by one is recommended, though consulting the size chart is the best way to ensure accuracy
