Specially made for the overseas market, this Samurai's "INDIGO PLUS" series with a minimal look and of course focusing on the character fading with time.

Samurai specially develop this 18oz slubby textured denim for a future stronger fade. For this pair, the warp has been initially grand indigo yarn-dyed then natural indigo over-dyed more than 10 times! The final result is this denim will age like some grand indigo-dyed denim and appear more vibrant shades of indigo like some natural indigo-dyed denim at the same time!

The ultra-thick cowhide leather patch has been slowly natural dyed by hand then naturally dried. Once naturally dried, the patch is then hand polished using horse oil to achieve an amazing matte sheen! With oxidised iron buttons for the fly and copper rivets throughout, this one will hold up sturdy with wear.

If you're keen to try some natural indigo denim still fade to some big contrasted look, this is an amazing choice!

This pair is constructed with Samurai's specially developed 17oz green selvedge ID lefthand twill denim made from a 100% cotton blend from America, Australia and Brazil. Slowly woven on vintage machines, this fabric has an incredibly slubby texture that is still soft and comfortable for daily wear! Thanks to the yarn-dyeing process and the LHT properties, you can expect to see some high contrast fading with wear and washing with a strong vertical texture appearing more and more!

As expected of Samurai, this pair features many beautiful details including a custom ultra-thick cowhide leather patch with the Uguisu bird design, custom embossed buttons and rivets and tonal green chain stitching for ultra-durable wear! The pocket bags are constructed with Samurai's heavyweight jacquard fabric. With time, this pattern will become more pronounced with wear!
