Samurai Jeans S211AX Relaxed Tapered 18oz AI Plus Benkei Selvedge Jeans - Indigo Onewash

The S211AX showcases Samurai’s custom “AI-BENKEI” natural indigo denim, named after the legendary warrior monk Saito Musashibo Benkei, a symbol of strength and loyalty. Woven from 18oz selvedge using natural indigo warp threads, this fabric carries remarkable depth and texture. The blend of American and South American cotton enhances durability while preserving a richly uneven surface, delivering the kind of character that only true indigo can develop over time.

Cut in a relaxed tapered fit with a high rise, the silhouette balances comfort and modern shape. Though unsanforized, the jeans are one-washed to remove shrinkage while maintaining the integrity of the fabric. Built with iron pine-design buttons, copper Samurai rivets, exclusive printed pocket bags and a heavy cow leather patch hand-dyed in pure indigo, every detail reflects Samurai’s uncompromising craftsmanship. Clean lines define the exterior, with no red tab, no navy label and no arcuates on the back pockets, allowing the denim itself to take centre stage. Made in Japan by specialist selvedge craftsmen, this is a heavyweight, high-character pair built for long-term wear and striking fades.
