Samurai 17oz Military Jumper Denim Trousers (Straight Tapered fit)
Bringing together the genius texture of vintage loom denim with the aggressive vibe of parachute jumping.
At a distance, these may look like fatigue cloth but these are specially developed denim by Samurai. We love to see this kind of vintage inspiration clash with classic USA-style army gear.
This specially developed 17oz Yellow selvage id 'Uguisu' denim has a strong vertical texture with a generous amount of irregular slub. The olive green colour has been sulphur thread dyed and combined with unbleached cotton threads to make up for a 'moss' olive appearance. With wear and washing, you'll see that vertical texture become exaggerated like a forest waterfall. You'll also see some strong contrast as the dyed fibres fade to a lighter shade.
For a straight tapered fit, use the fully customisable leg opening straps. You can also re-size the waist to your liking with the urea button straps. The knee section features a mini-HBT lined panel for extra durability over time. With an iconic, panelled military pocket on the front, welted rear and curved pocket flap, this is a super cool combination of classic designs.
If you're after some super unique military-inspired denim, this is an amazing choice that will age beautifully with time!

Samurai 18oz S140SXJ-GRK "Goryokaku" Denim (Slim Tapered fit)
Inspired by the legendary battles of feudal Japan!
Samurai have been inspired by another legendary episode in Japanese history to bring us a truly unique denim that is loaded with details! This pair takes its name from the 'Shinsengumi,' an elite military police force that defended Kyoto and fought warring factions in feudal Japan. The battle of Goryokaku marked the end of the bloody war and ushered in the imperial Meiji era.
Constructed with Samurai's 18oz 'Makoto' denim, this fabric has an ultra slubby and neppy texture! The irregular texture is created through a slow weaving process on vintage shuttle looms. The outer warp yarns have been grand-indigo dyed, while the undyed white weft yarns can be seen poking through the surface to create a truly unique look and feel! With time this is sure to age to an amazing look, with plenty of vertical rain-drop fading!
Construction-wise, it is inspired by vintage Lee 101 Jeans and mixed with plenty of amazing details. For the fly, Samurai have chosen a variety of different buttons to represent the battle of Goryokaku. The top gold-plated button represents the rising sun and the dawning of the new imperial era, the middle three 'Sakura' silver buttons represent the cherry blossom trees that the Goryokaku region is known for, while the natural iron 'Taiko' button represents Toshizo Hizakata, deputy leader of the Shinsengumi who is said to be buried under a Sakura tree at the site of the battle.
Lastly, the striking three-coloured selvedge I.D, which has also been used on the coin pocket and fly construction, has been chosen to represent the colours of the Shinsengumi uniform!
