Review - Samurai Jeans - 18oz Texas Cotton LHT S8000JX-N LTD ED.

This Limited Edition commemorates the "Summer Seige of Osaka Castle" in which Yukimura Sanada, often referred to as one of the greatest Samurai warriors of Japan and leader a small army that won many battles though often outnumbered, was able to hold off an assault on the Osaka Castle in the Summer of 1615 with his team of 6,000 men against an army of 30,000. The leather patch on the S8000JX-N depicts the image of Yukimura, based on a statue of his liking at the Sankō Shrine in Osaka, in front of a burning Osaka Castle.

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.

Green Day Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Collection

Whenever there’s a collaboration between a fashion label and performing artistes, you know that the market is probably targeted at the said artistes’ fans, or anyone who appreciate the work of art put into the products. with the Green Day Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Collection, we guess there’s no ‘or’ cos’ we are sure it will appeal to both Green Day fans and non-fans alike. to begin with, it is a Chuck Taylor and seriously, who doesn’t love Charlie’s classic appeal? adding the iconic artworks from Green Day’s greatest albums throughout the years to these sneakers only made them even more lovable. all in all, there are four models, each with its own unique design elements, to choose from. there are the Chuck Taylor All Star and the Bosey Boot models that features the artwork from American Idiot (Green Day American Idiot Chuck Taylor All Star, $60 and Chuck Taylor All Star Bosey Boot, $75). and then there’s the Green Day Dookie Chuck Taylor All Star ($60) with the screen-print of the seminal Dookie album against a white canvas with funky yellow-green laces. last but not least, the artwork of the modern day classic Kerplunk album find its way onto the Green Day Kerplunk Chuck Taylor All Star ($65), making a clear statement with its simplistic green, along with the white and black shades of the album cover. the Green Day Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Collection is available now exclusively at Converse and Journeys brick-and-mortar stores, as well as their respective online stores.

Evisu Jeans: Homage To Levi’s, Lee & Wrangler

Years ago the Japanese denim brand Evisu made a homage to the Big 3 denim brands: Levi’s, Lee and Wrangler. Each homage denim came with the typical details from the brand. Levi’s had the famous red tab and made from right hand fabric, Lee had the lazy S (bulls long horn) and made from left hand fabric and Wrangler had the leather backpocket patch and made from broken twill fabric. The typical signs were added with the legendary Evisu paint. All three are in deadstock unwashed/used condition. Great to see these three legends on this creative way.


Evisu Heritage pai kulit...salah satu dari evisu punya pecahan...
Sangat cantik...sangat rare...agak-agak caghu ada tak seluar-seluar nih dalam koleksi dia? Kompom takde punya pasal dia bangga ngan jenama AMAREKAA dia...


 Evisu: Homage to Levi’s

Trademark Levi's Red Tab...tapi evisu secara kretifnya pakai cat merah je...memang kretif dan klasik...
Selvedge/kepala kain Rising Sun...boleh kata semua Evicu Heritage line pakai kain jenis nih...bozzo tak pernah jumpa lagi yang redline atau greenline...kalau ada sesape pernah terjumpa silalah komen sket...sama-sama kita kumpul ilmu dan pengalaman...


 Evisu: Homage to Lee

Lazy S yang memang nampak sangat lazy dan pemalas...
Untuk seluar yang ini Evisu gunakan kain NO 13 left hand fabric...sama dengan kain yang digunakan oleh Lee untuk edisi Lee Riders dolu-dolu...tahniah Evisu kerana berjaya mengekalkan keaslian Lee...yang bozzo tak pasti cuma samada Evisu pakai buttonfly atau pakai zipperfly...kena beli dulu la kot baru bleh tau...hu hu hu...

Evisu: Homage to Wrangler 

Ha ha ha...Evisu pakai cat je untuk tiru lambang Wrangler...kalau diperati betul-betul kat poket tu bleh nampak kesan hidden rivet...memang cun sangat...
Untuk tribute Wrangler ini pun Evisu gunakan selvedge/kepala kain Rising sun...jahitan rantainya pun nampak nipis...tak macam jahitan rantai standard Evisu...
