Samurai, our JDM car loving crew from Osaka, hits us this week with a large delivery of jeans and tees.

We have the new super duper wide fitting S310XX19ozII jean, made of their 19oz Katana indigo denim, the 15.7oz S2000HXII jean made of their in-house grown Zero Fabric cotton, and the straight tapered S0520XX jean made of their flagship 15oz Otokogi indigo denim.

We also have a new run of their Zero Fabric t-shirts in natural, kuromame (black soybean dyed, and kuri (brown chestnut dyed), all available in plain and pocket version. Samurai has done a crazy but beautiful thing.. In 2010 they bought a small farm outside Osaka, Japan, with the hopes they would be able to grow their own cotton with the intention of one day being able to make garments made of their own cotton, as in a truly vertically made garment. After thirteen years they've been able to grow enough cotton to make t-shirts and of course they're as beautiful as the story behind them. The cotton is minimally processed in very small batches without the use of any harsh cleaning or whitening agents, also all fractured cotton seeds and all staple lengths are left in the cotton during the carding and spinning process for a truly unique fabric. We can really say we’ve never felt or seen a cotton jersey like this from any company. The natural ones are made of a completely untreated cotton and the “kuromame” have been given a long bath in a locally grown kuromame (black soybean) “soup” to achieve the dark charcoal color while the “kuri” tees have been soaked in a chestnut “soup” to achieve their unique shade of dark brown.
