• As the Black warp yarns are rope dyed, and the cores of the yarns are left undyed, the color fading properties will be similar to indigo dyed denim jeans.

5 buttonfly.

Black Leather patch with silver embossing. Cuba perhatikan kedudukan bulan adalah ditengah-tengah dan tiada burung terbang di atas gunung Fuji. Dibahagian Lot# terteran BKSHDW iaitu acronim untuk Black Shadow. Dari segi lain tak nampak perbezaan yang ketara sangat untuk patch ini.

The selvage line contains intertwining strands of Red and Silver lamé which symbolize the bleeding passion of the samurai's soul and the gleam of the razor sharp sword which he possesses. Jahitan rantai/chain stiching juga menggunakan benang yang telah di dye hitam.

Review - Naked & Famous WeirdGuy in Mega Heavyweight 26oz Black Warp

Presenting the newest, craziest, heaviest and most rigid jeans ever made…
WeirdGuy in Mega Heavyweight 26oz Black Warp / Black Weft Selvedge Denim. (Style# 011263)

Verbatim : 

These jeans are raw. The longer you keep from washing them, the more special and personalized they will get. many denim enthusiasts dont't wash raw jeans for the first 6 months. enjoy!

This tough fabric was so difficult to weave; our Japanese suppliers said they had to battle against the looms to make it happen. The shuttles were loaded with such heavy and rigid black weft yarns that it struggled to make each fill pass. As a result this created “a war within the loom” and the vibrations (loom chatter) were intense! This is all evidenced by the beautifully unique and irregular character of the resulting denim fabric.

Then came the challenge of sewing this crazy denim into jeans. Our factory friends in San Francisco took on the challenge, and with some hard work and dedicated expert mechanics they were finally able to figure out a way to properly adjust each machine in every process to make it work.

Another challenge was installing the 15oz leather patch which can be as thick as 10mm!!

The S8000JX-N uses 100% Texas cotton which is famous for being a "rough" cotton due to it's high amount of short fibers. Normally, the short fibers are removed to make a smoother fabric, but Samurai adds more short cotton fibers to make the yarn even rougher. The result is a yarn that is highly uneven in size, making the woven fabric very "slubby" (irregular). Moreover, while most denim manufacturers who use Texas cotton mix it with different cottons from various other areas, Samurai uses only 100% Texas cotton. Even the sewing thread is made of 100% Texas cotton. This creates a jean that captures the essence and spirit of this tough Texas denim. Samurai have produced a few styles now using their 15oz Texas cotton denim but all were in the traditional right hand twill denim while the S8000JX-N marks the first time they've attempted using this Texas cotton in a left hand twill denim and in an heavier 18oz denim. Left hand twill denims generally produce a softer hand so the end result, a mixture of these rough and soft properties, is a unique 100% short cotton fiber Texas denim in a smooth left hand weave.
