These special edition jeans are based on Samurai's classic S510XX regular straight model, the first ever released by Samurai Jeans. In honor of our 25th anniversary, we've bumped it up to a substantial 25oz. Unique to this design, the back pocket arcs are different on the left and right, symbolizing the contrasting sword styles of Musashi and Kojiro. The double stitching represents Musashi's two-sword technique, while the single stitching pays homage to Kojiro's one-sword style.
Immerse yourself in the rich legacy of Japanese history with Samurai Jeans' tribute to the iconic duel on Ganryujima. This legendary battle between Musashi Miyamoto and Kojiro Sasaki, renowned samurai warriors, is vividly commemorated on the traditional Samurai leather patch. The duel is celebrated as one of the most pivotal moments in Japanese history, marking the beginning of our journey with these leather patches.
The Duel on Ganryujima: This historic battle took place on April 13, 1612, on Ganryu Island. The story goes that Musashi arrived late, only to claim victory over Kojiro using a long wooden sword he had fashioned from a ship's oar, cementing his legacy as a legendary samurai.
