SJST24-102L - "Dragon Slayer Ryuou-Taro" Heavyweight T-Shirt - Green

When we originally got wind that we would be a new stockist for Samurai, our first thought wasn't t-shirts (it was raw denim). But when we saw these prints, we simply couldn't resist. These prints are packed with color and detail simply unrivaled by any other brand we work with. And we knew with it being Samurai construction, they would be worth every penny. They're a tubular knit made on the "Daimaru" machine with a 3-needle wrapped, ribbed collar and have some beautiful custom tag work. We think the Dragon Slayer tee is the print of the season. It's such an incredible work of art you can read more about below. 

A legend that speaks to the powerful bond between mother and child, this tells the story of Ryutotaro, who was born from Tsusaboro Wada and the woman Katsura (who was the incarnation of a dragon). Fully grown, he seeks to avenge his parents and does battle with the dragon, Ushikubo Gunryu, who had destroyed his mother long ago. The scene where he does battle using his mother's mirror is a very famous image in Japanese folklore and is often seen in tattoos and woodblock prints.

Fit Notes: In general, Samurai tops fit a bit small. Luckily, they now produce an oversized version of the garment indicated by the "L" after the product sku. These tend to fit more true because of that. Tommy went with an XL in order to really get an oversized look to go with his pants. He is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 40" chest. His North American size is M and his Japanese size is L.
