Introducing the Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Samurai Jeans, a tribute to the brand's remarkable journey over the past 25 years. Crafted with precision and passion, these jeans encapsulate two and a half decades of excellence in every stitch. Made from premium non-wash denim weighing 25 ounces, they promise awe-inspiring, high-contrast fades that only heavy-ounce denim can achieve.
This version is inspired by the duel on Ganryujima, one of the most famous battles in Japanese history, fought between Musashi Miyamoto and Kojiro Sasaki. As seen on the traditional Samurai leather patch, it pays homage to two of the most renowned samurai to ever live.
Meticulously designed, these jeans feature exceptional details that set them apart. Woven from the finest Texas cotton, with buttons plated in genuine gold for a touch of luxury, they exude opulence in every wear. The unique back pocket arcuates pay homage to the Musashi and Kojiro duel, symbolizing the essence of craftsmanship and heritage.
Embracing superior quality, Samurai adorns these jeans with copper-made rivets for durability and attention to detail. The Gold Covered Iron Made Rising-Sun button serves as a majestic centerpiece, representing Japan's rich heritage. The 25th-anniversary pocket lining adds a delightful surprise to every wear, while the new cowhide leather patch commemorates the Ganryujima battle.
As it is non-wash version, we highly recommend you soak the jeans in hot water before the first wear. Expect around 2,5cm (1in) of shrinkage in the waist and 6,4cm (2.5in) in the inseam when soaking so please, keep it in mind when looking for your size in the product size chart. As many other Samurai Jeans, the Ganryu-Jimai runs slightly small. 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.
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.
