24 oz!

We had a chance to take some pictures of the sample pair of Samurai's newest,
heaviest denim ever, 24 rigid ounces of genuine indigo Japanese selvage denim.
Full production has started now with an expected delivery date of June/July 2009

Looks like sufu was on this weeks ago: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk...postcount=4694 ^ Translation of this blog entry: http://www.samurai-j.com/samurai/blog/?p=423...can

i havent been on sufu for years since they changed their software.

just a total guess...but it looks like the cut is nice! mid-rise, not too slim, and a very slight taper. im excited to see some better pics of these

Yeah, because no one likes Ironheart denim.

fwiw my 19oz samurai's are notably cooler in the heat than my apc's. Weight isnt everything.

cool, comes out in time for summer...

but seriously though, is iron heart going to match or one up this?

these would last forever,

I assume that with heavier denim, there is more indigo in the threads and as a result much darker fades, and much longer lifespan

24oz, thats ridiculous I would hate having to 'shrink to fit' a pair of these bad boys

Hah! A wear-while-soaking-in-tub could result in death or leg amputation due to lack of circulation!

I have the IH 21 oz 634S jeans and they are surprisingly soft. It's become one of my favorite pair. I'm really curious about this one. Not that familiar with Samurais though.

you may need to call 911 for them to bring out the jaws-of-life to get to you
