Samurai Jeans S211AX "Ai-Benkei" 18oz Natural Indigo Relaxed Tapered Jeans

As many other Samurai Jeans, the S211AX runs slightly small in the one wash version. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.

This limited edition from Samurai is available exclusively outside of Japan. It is crafted using the premium 18oz "AI+" denim, woven with hefty #5 yarn under high tension using antique looms. The denim warp is dyed with a unique blend of natural and pure indigo dyes. However, the most exciting feature of these jeans lies in the weft, which is woven from a blend of ultra-high-quality Samurai project Japanese cotton and US cotton.

The Samurai Cotton project is the personal obsession of Nogami-San, the owner of Samurai Jeans, aiming to produce jeans with Japanese cotton. What makes this Japanese cotton so unique? It is meticulously hand-plucked, with the team working around the typhoons and heavy rains that hit the Sasayama (Hyogo prefecture) area each fall. The plants are planted, weeded, and harvested by hand, without using any fertilizers or pesticides. All the work is done by a group of Samurai employees, a few dedicated customers, and some friendly Sasayama locals. This painstaking process makes producing jeans from Samurai cotton very expensive and time-consuming, but the result is an exceptionally soft and high-quality cotton.

These jeans are full of details, such as the exclusive AI+ pocket lining and the iron pine buttons. Additionally, Samurai has created a special edition heavyweight cowhide leather patch, hand-dyed with pure indigo.

The cut is the S211AX, a relaxed tapered fit available only outside Japan with this fabric. The aggressive taper provides a slim-fitting silhouette while allowing ample space at the thighs, with a mid-high rise. As many other Samurai Jeans, the S211AX runs slightly small in the one wash version. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.

Samurai jeans have become a legend in the Japanese denim scene. Created in Osaka by Toru Nogami in 1997, Samurai represents the perfection of Japanese tradition, with its iconography of Sengoku-era Samurais and the search for the best and nothing but the best through materials, artisan garment-making techniques and unique detailing.
