Samurai S5000VX
21oz Samurai Original Japanese selvedge denim RRP $398 http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=3888&category_id=&manufacturer_id=10&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=62&vmcchk=1 30 waist 34 leg (hemmed and chain stitched from 36) Worn for 2 years from raw. Perfect fade patina with distinct honeycombs and whiskers. Mid Rise Straight Leg Fit 21oz Samurai Original Japanese selvage denim 100% Cotton Pure Indigo Front pocket bags have an original Jacquard pattern interwoven with thin Beige threads which reads "Shogyo Mujo" (諸行無常), a basic belief principle that all things of this world are transient and impermanent; also translated as "Everything is transient and always changing" or "All Things Change". The rivets are made of copper with the underside of the front rivets reading サムライ "Samurai" while the underside of the back rivets read "Shogyo Mujo" (諸行無常). 21oz Made In Japan Samurai calls this the "Cloth of Super Excellence" and for good reason. Woven on vintage wooden shuttle looms, only the weaving craftsmen of the highest merit and skill were able to tame the looms that created this tough 21 ounce denim. The average weight for these antique looms is 13 ounces, 15 ounces is manageable, 17 ounces is pushing it, 19 ounces and the machines are under pressure, 21 ounces is well....... While the resistance created noise at levels almost intolerable, the weavers had to basically train the machines to handle the heavyweight threads attacking and passing through them. Great hardships and pain were endured to successfully weave the "Cloth of Super Excellence". Had they not the skills nor patience to control these power looms we may never have the chance to experience this truly unique denim created by these truly unique craftsmen. Their blood, sweat, and soul is symbolized by the strands of Red and Gold lamé which run along the selvage line of this XX21oz denim. Posted with eBay Mobile |
