Fade Friday – Samurai S710XX (5 Years, 4 Washes, No Soaks)

In Indonesia lives a man named Ray Farandy. Now you might think he’s is your average denim, but there that sets him apart. See, Ray has devoted the last 5 years to the way of the Samurai. He has been living it, breathing it, and literally surrounding himself with it everyday. He has practiced discipline, loyalty, and patience and today it is all paying off.

Oh wait, sorry for the confusion, I’m talking about Samurai Jeans. Was that not clear?

After 4 washes, and every day wear, Ray has a lot to be proud of with these 19 oz. Samurais. On the front porch you have fade fireworks flying everywhere from the whisker-laden top block down to the ‘don’t look directly into them or you will go blind’ knee craters.

On the back, you have sneaky seat whiskers on the outer edges of the seat and a set of honeycombs that look as if they’ve been carved in with a samurai sword.
