We recommend to size up for your waist size. On the 20th anniversary of the founding of Samurai Jeans, the brand updated their standard series models of jeans. The main changes to the models are the new weave names and new decorative stitches, but the silhouette has also been slightly adjusted from the base models to review the balance and shorten the inseams by 2 inches (now 34"). In addition, the standard models have previously been non-washed, but now Samurai develops them using a rinsing process to remove shrinkage and make it easier to pick your correct size. There is no change to the denim fabrics, which is the most important element in Samurai's world-class jeans. This is Samurai's new flagship 15oz denim, now known as the "Manki" weave. The "heavyweight" and "wild discoloration" qualities that Samurai is known for have not gone, but they are "deeper" and more "samurai-like" original jeans so that the brand can meet the customers who have grown up with it so far, as well as people of a wide range of generations and new Samurai customers. This is a fabric that feels substantial while still being easily wearable all year, with great fading potential and incredible texture and slub to the fabric that will result in beautiful discolouration through wear. This is a slim tapered fit, but the rise is not shallow and the taper is not too extreme at the hem, making it a flattering silhouette that you can wear easily with boots or shoes, at the ankle or cuffed.
