Guest post : Samurai 5000VX

The Samurai brand needs no formal introduction. The jeansmaker from Osaka is one of the most respected and adored artisans in the world of Japanese denim. I was lucky to get my hands on a pair of their flagship model, the 5000VX, which is Samurai’s take on a modern straight leg jean. The details on these jeans are outstanding: everything, from the rivets to the chainstitch, is impeccable, and the 17 ounce-per-square-yard Zero denim’s rough texture and unique character is guaranteed to age beautifully. I’m looking forward to living in these jeans for the next few years!
