Samurai created this model as a nod to the classic jeans of the late 40s to early 50s, often thought to be the apex of vintage jeans style.
Using the classic S0510XX as a base, Samurai modified the shape for this model and then packed it full of specs and details unique to this model.
The silhouette is a regular straight with a little more room around the hips than the S0510XX, and it tapers down gently to the hem, striking a nice balance between being too wide or too narrow. For the denim, Samurai have used the popular 15oz Otokogi selvedge denim made from Texas cotton spun into slubby #6 warp yarns, giving this fabric a rough, uneven texture and incredible fade potential.
The pocket bags are a kinari (natural ecru) coloured selvedge fabric, and all of the cotton threads, thread colours, needle/stitch counts, stitch widths, etc. have been done to new specifications on this model to better express the atmosphere of those vintage jeans from back in the day. The stitching on the back pockets is done in a yellow cotton thread in the current seagull shape.
