S526XX17ozL-25th - 17oz "Sasaki Kojiro" Slubby Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim - Straight

$ 392.00

Samurai is the first brand we've seen to celebrate an anniversary for 2 years! We thought the last round was their final 25th anniversary pair, but we were off by one...we think! This should be the last iteration. Created in honor of Kojiro Sasaki, who is depicted on Samurai’s leather patches and is known as a master swordsman along with Musashi Miyamoto. (This special model will only be released on Samurai’s 10th, 15th, 20th, etc. anniversaries and employs a cutting used only for this model).

The fabric used here is a newly-created lefthand twill denim with a rough yet soft feel, using Samurai's uneven Zero 17oz yarn. This meeting of paradoxes was inspired by the flexible yet rough style of swordsmanship displayed by Kojiro, who is said to have once sliced a swallow in half using a sword over a meter long. The design is a classic style with a buckle back and a regular straight silhouette.
 
Kojiro Sasaki was one of the most famous samurai in Japan and was the greatest rival of Musashi Miyamoto. He died after losing a duel with Musashi at Ganryu Island in 1612. He is known as a master swordsman who wielded a massively long sword, also known as a ‘clothesline’ (referring to the long poles that laundry used to be hung out on). Beyond this, most of Kojiro’s life remains a mystery.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy went back to a 33 on these (mostly because he forgot that he wore a 34 last time). He would have felt much better in the 33.86" waist, and the leg would've been th perfect width. We would recommend paying close attention to the size charts. Being that they're a straight fit, you really only need to get the waist right as the rest will fall in line. Tommy is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 33-34" waist.
