Founded in Osaka in 1997 by Toru Nogami, Samurai Jeans is known for heavyweight selvedge denim and bold, experimental fabric development. Inspired by the strength and spirit of Japan’s samurai, the brand produces jeans that feature custom details like iron buttons, silver lamé selvedge, and illustrated pocket bags. Each pair is designed to develop dramatic fades and withstand years of wear. Samurai Jeans pushes Japanese denim to its limits in both weight and character.
