I know you probably don't wear them anymore, but I'd like to see an updated video on those Levi's since your old ones left something to be desired with the picture/audio quality. The brief view of them we got here looked really nice!
Nice review, but then most of your reviews are well done. Back in the day (1970's) the way we used to shrink our Levi 501 "shrink to fit" jeans was to put them on and climb into a tub of warm to hotish water, soak for 15 mins or so then go for a walk (hopefully on a warm day.) Your legs may have had a blue tinge to them from the dye for a few days but the 501's came out fitting perfectly.
I'm really glad you showed yourself wearing the jeans. it's really helpful and gives me an idea of the fit! thanks. hope you do it more often.
The denim on these looks really special. I've had a good few pairs of selvedge denims, but never had any unsanforised ones. Very interesting to see how these work out and especially how much and where shrinkage occurs. It was quite surprising to see the figures after wash, looks like they knew what would happen when they put the label on them? From what I hear sanforised denim is increasingly uncommon, as it places some demand on the retailers to know their stuff, and customers to trust them, with regards to the sizing.
Yes it did seem that the changes on waist and inseam were predictable / as expected.. surprised that the shrink ranges from 1 or 2 % to 6% depending on the area
The texture of that denim looks fantastic.
It is going to be fun to see how these break in and fade!
Got the s0511xx25oz.. it just so nice denim.. what i can say is, samurai is the best japanese denim.. i already bought 7 since 2014.. i also had the 'Shogun' model, one of the top nocth model they had,,if im not mistaken ,they released it about once every 7 years,and its limited..you will be amazed by the detail.. but the price is around 3 times the regular model..worth it..
great review appreciated. I am going to buy these tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy them!
Really helpful about sizing unsanforized, thanks. 511s are just about my favourite cut. Been a little scrared about it but as I got more experience with raw denim I understand much better what my best fit and true size is. There is a lot more choice too with unsanforized. Some stores offer "One Wash" unsanforized which takes some of the guesswork out.
I love your reviews! Always so thorough. Thank you!
I think that you don't need to get them hemmed. Fit is spot on. Looking sharp!
Thanks! I will let them break in before deciding on hemming, part of me wants a pair which can be worn without cuffing!?
Unsanforized, this will be my next stage...well done, I'am curious about samurai
Now you remind me of my unsanforized denim, that thing shrink like crazy and the waist now is too tight...feels like i have to lose some weight to wear it again.
They should stretch back out with wear, or you can get a waist stretcher to save the labour... I may invest myself!
@@DevonReviewer I believe so, i might just go wear it soon even with initial discomfort. A waist stretcher? now that is new haha
@@devissaputra469 wouldn't that be just some sort of cream pie?
I was about to size up until I saw your video! I currently wear 34inch waist jeans. For this 15oz Samurai I see that the 33 tag model has a 34inch waist unwashed. So you recommend I go with the 33 tag because despite the shrinkage the waist will stretch back to 34?
i tell my so many friends ❤🎉😢they come so many soon
wow - just remembered i have a pair of 511's somewhere in the wardrobe
I think the 511 is a really nice cut!
Is 15 ounces samurai going to be good? I'm thinking of getting only in that weight.
Thanks for the video! My first unsanforized pair was also Samurai (and funny enough, I've got this very pair on the way now as well!) I tend to stick to one-wash these days, but I'm really glad to have gone through the shrinking experience a few times. Samurai in particular really needed a good 2-3 initial washes to get really down to size.
Thanks for the video 👍
I like my Wranglers...lol...they go with my Corolla L really nice.
I just realised I have this same model number in the straight version
My so many friends come to you
511 is my favourite cut. Fit looks great! Keep ‘em cuffed 😉
Thank you! Will do for the time being at least!
I’ve been waiting for this review all week. Great as always. Can I just say there is something which always upsets me when you say it....don’t wanna look like a twat but stuff it here goes...it’s Denimio not Denimo 😂 Apologies in advance just trying to help.
Ha ha dont worry you are quite right, if it can be mispronounced I will mispronounce it.. you have seen my Danner reviews right?
@@DevonReviewer Ha ha...yeah I’ve seen most of your reviews now I think, always top reviews and great products mate, particularly the boots and clothing....keep em coming!
Have you checked out or heard of Hebtro co Selvege denim.
Yes, I don't particularly like the cut of their jeans, nor their approach to advertising / image.. I do quite like some of their shirts so may give them the benefit of the doubt and try some out at some point!
excellent review. Did you just escape from prison?
France, actually.
Some beautiful jeans right there.
Thanks!
great video!
so good!!!
Thanks, Samurai look to make great denim!
Well done
I wear size 30 , tell me which size to choose ( non wash) I have 40 cm waist , thigh 30 cm , front rise 27 cm
Isn't Samurai's 511XX a 1947 501?
You may be correct, I knew that they were based on a Levi's model, and assumed due to the "511" designation!
No S510xx is the 47
@@bobbydavis5119right ,but more in historic way with roomier wider cut ,not like the Slim straight LVC 1947.
i Like so much ❤
Good review 👌👍😎
Thank you!
👌
Thanks!
Let us see the Japanese tags close up so we can tell you what they say.
I can post on my instagram if you follow me there?
Comel bare gu..
Lovely fading on those Levis. I don't see much of Samurai denim here in UK.
The 511s are definitely unfairly overlooked as a first step into quality denim (assuming they are still available).. the Samurais are wonderful we need to get more over here!
I need to start making some 20oz Jeans and sell them for $700. LOL, No Jean is worth More than $100 Dollars, Even the Japanese are jumping on the fashion bandwagon as they know there are Fools out there that pay 10xs for something that maybe 1.5 times as good as a pair of Levi Jeans.
Oops to late, Seems a company already has a 32oz Jean on the market, they actually stand up on their own 🤦🏼♂️
Pricing on items are starting to get a little silly. Come on guys, for real?
I’m guessing you’re new to the raw denim scene, because most people feel the way you do until they actually find a pair that they love, and get hooked. And the Japanese have been in to fashion for a while now lol.
@@jimmydgrant Yes, but their jumping on the high end of off. Raw or not, no Pair of Jeans should cost $365 dollars. LOL. Keep feeling those Jeans. While they empty out your bank accounts and fill up theirs.
I myself have over paid for items. But after doing some research, I realized it's about name branding. I can present you with same Jeans, different Brand 5xs Cheaper and you still will pick the Japanese Selvedge brand. It's called Fashion Programming.
It's your money, spend it how you want to. I am sure when you walk out of that store the store owners are happy, but baffled in how much people are willing to spend on an over hyped and over marketed product. I know I do 🤔
Please present the cheaper jeans that are indistinguishable from the ones in this video for $50. (They go for around $250 on Denimio if I’m not mistakin’) Genuinely interested!
@Tony Of course they are making a Profit. That's wasn't my point. I am saying we are feeding this Frenzy buy buying such over priced items. For what? Jeans are Jeans and you probably won't use them much and after they fade a bit and aren't as crisp, you want to get rid of them.
Don't get me wrong I buy Fashioned items. But never ever pay full price for them, ever.
I cry when I see you people, who live in the Projects, parents are on welfare or have low income jobs and kids blow all their funds on a $400 belt, $350 sneakers, $40 socks, $1,500 Canada Down Jacket, $200 Sweater, etc, then live like bombs in a roach infested apt. Why? Because we feed this sad frenzy.
All of a Sudden, a new Marketing scheme of Selvedge Jean's and Viola. Their worth $500. Hell to the No.
I'm just trying to wake people up to stop feeding this Frenzy and making the Rich Super Rich and yourselves More Poor.
If you can truly afford it and have money to blow, sure go ahead. But to anyone making 200k or less, don't blow your money on these over priced jeans. Look at that retard Kayne, worth 6.6 Billion? Who do you think made that possible?
The cost for the materials alone on a pair of iron hearts for example is around 150, and that's not counting the skilled labor from a first world country to stitch them and the vintage machines they use for said stitching, not to mention the cost of running and maintaining the vintage machines etc. If you want stuff made by a kid in a third world sweatshop with no quality control or attention to detail then go for it. As for the business about people in the projects spending all their money that seems like projecting to me
I have tried the denimio website and it bizzarely keeps switching automatically to Russian language, such a stupid website.....
great video !
Thank you!
I really dig the samurai red tab, do they still produce these.
Thank you for including some B-roll of you actually wearing them!
For some reason I thought tanuki jeans were unsanforized, obviously not! Lovely looking jeans, just got some brave star through from the states give them a go if you want cheap but quality selvedge jeans!
No you are correct, I am somewhat mixing my language, I am using unsanforized instead of "unwashed".. the Oni and Tanuki were loomstate / unsanforized but "one washed" before sale..
I always used to get 501 shrink to fit. Up until the late 90s, I think.
How did you find sizing / shrink?
@@DevonReviewer I was a 34 W, 32 L, and I bought 36 W, 34 L. They fitted perfectly after washing in a washing machine. I did not sit in the bath 60s/70s style.
