HISTORY OF SAMURAI JEANS

founded in 1997, Osaka basedSamurai Jeans has already managed to establish itself as an unwashed selvage denim producer for connoisseurs. Their collection exists of various models of unwashed denim.Most of the cuts are based on the traditional workwear. They areextremely high quality that are often sold in limited editions.

Samurai is a Japanese Company that is the strongest denim in the world. Its standard cut is at 15 oz per sq meter. Although they have now gone all the way up to 24. The higher the oz, the more stress the jeans are under on the loom. 15 oz itself is very very hard. 24 oz is near impossible. The leather patch depicts an image of the famous duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirō in 1612 on a remote island in Japan. Musashi was the victor and is said to be the most skilled swordsman in history. He is also well known for his writing of Go Rin No Sho or "Book of Five Rings". This is the image commonly found on most Samurai models. Most versons also includes a full moon silhouette and Lot# 10, this number changes every year with this being Samurai's 10th production year. Samurai is also a raw denim. It takes many months or years to get these broken into champions. Although Sam's are known for fading very nicely.

Samurai Jeans fade exceedingly well, giving a contrast between the dark hand dyed indigo and bright white cotton that is impossible to achieve with mass-produced jeans.

Their latest collection that they have recently put out.

Samurai Jeans limited collection "The Book of Five Rings" was focused on famous duelist and samurai Musashi Miyamoto, and was divided into five "books": Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void. We went with a natural dyeing method, and so you can find unique textures you would not ordinarily be able to appreciate.

Sixteen+selfedge collaboration is an impressive ongoing project between 3sixteen and Self Edge. Taking the Japanese ideology of leaving no detail untouched,a rope-dyed indigo selvedge denim these two entities have come together to create a line which brings the Japanese otaku of denim and classic American styles to the western world.

sixteen has built a strong following by connecting with fans through its popular blog (www.3sixteen.com) and more recently, the NHTVSN video project. The brand has matured to the point where it has developed sophisticated cut and sew pieces like the Roxanne jacket that features tough canvas constructions, pinstripe detailing and denim accents. In a scene where hype, rainbow color schemes and endless all-over prints reign, 3sixteen has crafted an identity based on detailing, understating and lasting apparel.
