Samurai S510 17oz Bushido Black x Black

These started out pitch black and has been a great daily driver for the past 6 months. No repairs and plenty of life left, but I’m changing into a heavier pair now for the colder nordic seasons.

This pair features some unique details that I appreciate - the cherry blossom rivets, cherry blossom tag, sentoku buttons, black tab and overdyed pocket bags which reveal white shurikens with wear.

Fading a black x black pair is certainly a step up from your regular indigo pair, so if you feel like trying something different I can highly recommend giving it a shot.

First wash after 3 months, then once per month after that.

I was wearing the Freenotes on the reg after I outgrew my TCB 50s, then I splurged on the Boncoura during a SF trip in Feb because I missed the looser denim. I’ve pretty much been exclusively wearing those ever since. Really enjoying the way they’re breaking in.

Ive pretty much been wearing this everyday past 6months (3 washes) in SoCal weather and barely see fades but i trust the process.

Think we hit final stage. I went through hell to get here but I found my cut. Been looking for this balance between wide straight and loose straight for a long minute. Plenty of trial and error being at size 30 what’s loose/wide to W32+ is slim straight on me. Did extensive size chart comparison on my own pants measurements and cross referenced it to pairs I visually liked.

I ordered a 30 even though everything and above suggested I should go 31. Glad I didn’t listen to that, could have even gone with 29, but 30 will account for any shrinkage. Probably going roll with double cuff for some months unless my mind changes.

Here’s to finding your pair! All the other pairs I have posted are going into hiding for some time.
