Samurai Jeans
Japanese Denim with an Unmatched Spirit

In the world of high-end Japanese denim, Samurai Jeans is a legend. Founded in 1997 by Tohru Nogami, the brand is known for its extremely heavy denim, unique details and deep connection to Japanese samurai culture. Every pair of Samurai jeans is steeped in craftsmanship and tradition, and designed to stand the test of time - just like the spirit of the samurai.

What makes Samurai Jeans unique?

1. Heavy, rugged and authentic selvedge denim
Samurai Jeans uses some of the heaviest denims in the industry, ranging from 15oz to as much as 25oz! The fabric is produced on old shuttle looms, resulting in a dense, irregular texture that, over time, produces insane fading.

 

2. Unique Indigo Dyeing Techniques
Samurai jeans are often dyed with natural indigo or a deep, intense synthetic indigo. This creates beautiful, high-contrast fades that give each pair of jeans a personal character.

 

3. Samurai inspiration in every detail
Samurai Jeans incorporates subtle yet powerful references to Japanese warrior culture into their designs. Think special buttons with katana engravings, pocket lining printed with samurai motifs and leather patches featuring traditional Japanese artwork.

 

4. Left-Hand Twill & Slubby Texture
Many Samurai Jeans are woven with left-hand twill, resulting in a softer feel and a unique slubby structure. This gives the jeans an extra dimension and allows for spectacular fading after prolonged wear.

 

5. Unsurpassed Sustainability
With extra-heavy stitching, reinforced rivets and chain-stitch finish on a Union Special, Samurai Jeans are built to last. The combination of traditional techniques and innovative details makes each pair of jeans a masterpiece.

  • "Arborator is a world unto itself. When you step inside, you find yourself in the Valhalla of (among other things) the world's finest denim (& heritage clothing) qualities; which was also the reason for my visit (I'm not from the area). Struck by chance on the internet, this is a shop like no other. Martijn is a sweet, gutsy man with an invaluable passion. Super bold that you stick to the high quality you deliver (from product to overall atmosphere). Thanks for a particularly enjoyable shopping experience, 10/10."

Arborator Denim Company's roots

1984 "Martin, put your coat on." Ma is already outside. The sandwiches in a paper bag, the thermos filled with coffee. "Come, we must hurry: The clock won't wait for us." It is 4 o'clock, we are driving to the flower auction in Aalsmeer. It's exciting. Every time. There is no time to lose. Literally. The clock determines.
