The journey doesn't end there. Once the cotton reaches its peak, Samurai spins it into threads and entrusts them to the skilled hands of artisans in Wakayama, where they are knitted on vintage machines. Despite the limitations of traditional loopwheel machines, Samurai's dedication to perfection shines through as each garment is meticulously crafted. With only about 48cm of fabric produced per hour due to the intricacies of high-gauge inlay knitting, every inch is a labor of love, resulting in a small quantity of material that is luxuriously soft to the touch and boasts a thickness that sets it apart from standard hanging knitted fabric.
But it's not just about the fabric; Samurai has also considered the silhouette. While knitted on a loopwheel machine, this shirt features split sides, marrying traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities
All Samurai tees run smaller in size compared to your regular American size. Typically, if you wear a size M in American t-shirts, you will need to select a size L in this. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
Samurai jeans have become a legend in the Japanese denim scene. Created in Osaka by Toru Nogami in 1997, Samurai represents the perfection of Japanese tradition, with its iconography of Sengoku-era Samurais and the search for the best and nothing but the best through materials, artisan garment-making techniques and unique detailing.
