Fade Friday – Samurai Jeans S003JP (4 Years, 1 Month, 5 Washes, 1 Soak)

$

Imagine taking your new pair of jeans and putting them into the fade machine. Now, imagine that machine takes over four years to work and produces the kind of fades worthy of trophies, and you may be close to today’s Fade Friday. Sent to us by Wilson Gautama from Indonesia, these Samurai S003JP‘s have earned their keep the hard way – with lots of good old fashioned wear to work and school.

We see a lot of gnarly jeans on here (you probably do too), but it’s pairs like this that set the standard for the rest. Sure the whiskers are there, the thighs are almost white, and the honeycombs are so thick they are starting to blend together. But take a look at the real money shot here, the insanity happening around the ankles. These are some of the cleanest and most uniform stacks we’ve ever seen, it’s almost as if they were made by that fabled fade machine.

Samurai S310SP16 17oz. Selvedge Denim Jorts

First of all, this writer isn’t sure that denim shorts hemmed by the manufacturer can be called jorts – the bizarre name is earned through the DIY scissor hackjob, right? Tomato, tomahto, and in the meantime Samurai has whipped up a pair of heavy-duty denim shorts, so that loyal heavyweight fans can now work on their fades in the summer, too.

The cut of the S310SP16 is based on Samurai’s Futoshimi silhouette (S310XX). Features include the usual sunrise button fly, signature Samurai arcuate, and unique imagery on the waistband patch. Constructed with once washed 17oz. selvedge denim, be prepared for a few summers of simply breaking these in.

Available for $193.48 on Rakuten.

Fade of the Day – Samurai S5000GX-M (5 Years, Unknown Washes, Unknown Soaks) Front Back

Nothing like a Samurai jean to brighten up your day, especially this one. Hario Prastowo from Indonesia was smart enough to snag these puppies while they were still in stock several years back and he’s been fading ever since.

Five years down and all of the original indigo is gone and faded into something we only see cheaply imitated at wash factories. The whiskers are staggered but slightly washed out by the intense lap fade. Hario’s honeycombs are nothing to take lightly either, making you wonder how he got them to this point.

  • Name: Samurai S5000GX-M
  • Fabric: Raw Japanese indigo selvedge denim
  • Weight: 17oz.
  • Fit: Slim
  • Other features:
    • Denim is dyed in both an indigo and a lighter blue color

Samurai-Jeans-Anniversary-Organic-Cotton-Special-Selvedge-Denim-Front-Back

Samurai Jeans is now officially an adult, celebrating their 18th anniversary with a new release – the S5000MOG. The celebratory jean is an organic 18oz. indigo denim with twisted yarns which give it a noticeably darker shade. This might mean more time spent trying to get those dope/ill/trill/sick fades, but the resulting fades should be considerably more contrasting; thus more dope/ill/trill/sick.

Other commemorative features include gold colored buttons with iron shanks, copper rivets, and, of course, their signature sword selvedge which they’ve incorporated into the fly.

You can celebrate Samurai’s coming into adulthood for $297 at Denimio.

The SM410DBN Double Knee Work Pants are 15oz. (30oz. in some parts) of unbleached herringbone goodness. They take their style cues from a traditional double front like Carhartt and add their own touches, like quilt stitching the knee patches and adding hand pockets at the thigh.

Fade-Friday-Samurai-Jeans-24-oz.-S510XX-Front-Back

Coming our way from Singapore’s Ahmad Ibrahim (@j_kaminari) is a downright mean looking pair of Samurai Jeans for this week’s Fade Friday. He often travels to Osaka, Japan for much-needed RnR, where he also goes hunting for new and interesting denim. After a year of almost daily wear, his fade patterns have reached a whole new level. We love how the honeycombs extend up into the thigh region, and the rear pockets are looking pretty good, too. One has to wonder how he’s managed to get the lap fade to the state that there’s almost no dye remaining.

After just a year of almost daily wear in the Singaporean heat and half a dozen combined soaks and washes, it’s easy to see how these have reached Fade Friday status. We love how the honeycombs extend up into the thigh region and the equal amount of wear on the rear pockets. One has to wonder how he’s managed to wear in the lap area. That’s some serious whiskering with almost no dye in the central region. Overall, a superb looking pair of jeans that will hopefully stay with Ahmad for years to come.

Ah yes, the magical six-month mark. If you prescribe to the idea of not washing your denim until they’re half a year in, then today’s fade is for you. This pair of Samurai Jeans S710xx comes to us courtesy of Aji Abdul Aziz of Bandung, Indonesia. He’s reached the six-month mark and given them their first soak after wearing them every day to school and when hanging out with his friends.

Samurai‘s are known to be fast faders, and these are no exception. Thanks to hours of sitting and playing video games, the whiskers have come along quickly, Aji says. The honeycombs are well-developed too, and the seat is already turning white. We’re looking forward to seeing how these look in another six months and hope they’ll come our way then.

Samurai Jeans S710xx

  • Fabric: 100 % cotton unsanforized selvedge denim
  • Weight: 19 oz.
  • Fit: Mid-rise slim taper
  • Unique Features:
    • Raised belt loops
    • Silver “katana” selvedge line
    • Branded rivets, buttons, and pocket bags

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s some sort of triangular geometric pattern that Samurai Jeans has turned into a wabash print for its latest indigo shirt. The rock and roll Japanese denim brand has never been one for subtlety and their latest workshirt is sure to turn a few heads.

The pattern is actually known as “Kunai” and mimics the look of the Japanese throwing stars, shuriken. But instead of cutting heads, you want to cut some attention, look for this shirt with its cats-eye buttons, triple chainstitch runoff, and striped indigo dye.

This sharp number is available for 23,760 JPY (~$233 USD) at Samurai.

Fade-Friday-Samurai-Jeans-S710xx-Front-Back

Fade Friday is here boys and girls and have we got a grail status pair of Samurai Jeans S710xx for you. This week’s fade comes to us from Michael Soo of Philadelphia. Working in a biochemistry lab with nary a dress code in sight, he’s put plenty of wear into this pair of jeans and it shows given these are only 15 months in.

In addition, Michael usually walks or bikes to work, guaranteeing he put more reps into his Sams. The fading here is intense all over, and going to white in the top block on both the front and the back. The whiskers are good, even tearing; the honeycombs are better, but the standout here perhaps is the stacks. 

Being an active person, he’s worn these jeans all over. To be sure, these S710xx’s have picked up some damage along the way; Michael darned the crotch blowouts and pocket fraying, He even used some of Samurai’s “katana selvedge” to repair the coin pocket, where Michael keeps his chapstick and flash drive. Perhaps these jeans can now ride into the denim sunset, and join the others in faded glory.
