Samurai Club Recycled Cotton Fleece Caps

Two new cap styles from Samurai Club made from their innovative recycled cotton fleece fabric. They've gathered remnant 100% cotton fleece yarns and re-spun and blended them to create a unique new fabric in a Dark Grey melange color. This long-staple cotton fleece with a thicker than average thread count gives a solid sense of volume but still light in texture. The rims are reinforced with lining on both models and thread eyelets were added for ventilation, sewn in a muted Red color for a subtle yet accented detail. Hand Made in Japan and Available in store and online here

Samurai S5000BK Re-stocked in all sizes

The Samurai S5000BK began as a limited edition model back in 2006 and have since become part of their regular line-up, yet even then are still only produced once every 2 years or so and in small quantities. Made from Samurai's Model "Zero" original 17oz Black raw selvage denim and cut in their S5000 silhouette with tonal Black top stitch detailing, Black coated steel tack buttons, and Copper rivets.
One unique aspect of the S5000BK is the denim's color dyeing process. The warp yarns are rope dyed in Black, and the cores of the yarns are left undyed as is common with most Japanese indigo dyed denim. This is what helps to create the exceptional fading patterns these denims are known for, by breaking off the top layer of color to expose the undyed cores beneath. So unlike non-rope dyed Black jeans which tend to just turn a Grey color all over with repeated wash and wear, the color fading properties of the S5000BK will be similar to those of Samurai's indigo denim jeans which crock and fade in areas of distress.
To demonstrate this, pictured below are a pair of S5000BK's that were washed and worn regularly for around 10 months. More information and details on our new shipment of S5000BK's here
