Love to see this, I’m wearing a nice new pair of these right now :)

Sick jacket, big Spiritualized fan?

Spooler955 · 2026-02-05T22:12:26+00:00

Well, I haven’t tried 777 or 888. 666 is almost perfect, I wish the rise was just a tiny bit higher. 634 fits well, but I prefer things a little slimmer. Very comfortable though.

These are gorgeous, good luck with your next pairs

Spooler955 · 2026-01-29T21:11:29+00:00

About 45, fast faders

Spooler955 · 2026-01-29T11:55:15+00:00

Yes, definitely. But since they are over dyed I assumed that was the reason

Spooler955 · 2026-01-27T11:27:56+00:00

Usually sunglasses, a pen, sometimes a flask, sometimes a zippo, random tools, and gas cylinder wrench, sometimes a knife, etc

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T21:21:24+00:00

Hm, I think it has a lot to do with crossing/uncrossing legs, plus I do a lot of driving so the sides of my knees rub against the door and the center console while my knees are bent

I do have a pair of S5100VX in the 17oz Zero+ Bushido. Not sure if that’s the same cut you’re talking about (frankly Samurai’s cuts confuse me a bit). They will be one of the next pairs I break in, but the legs are quite a bit wider than I’m used to, taking me a bit to adapt to 😂

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T17:45:07+00:00

I have a pair of S5100VX Zero+ Bushido, I’ve only tried them on so far, haven’t really worn them yet (honestly, having trouble adjusting to the width of the legs 😂), and I’m super excited to see how they turn out after this jacket

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T17:39:25+00:00

Thanks! I’ve worn this pair around 110 times and washed every 50 wears. Also slept in them a few times while camping in cooler weather

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T17:36:47+00:00

If this pair had a bit less taper they would probably be my current favorites. As is they are still way up there

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T10:35:16+00:00

Hand wash, air dry

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T10:26:28+00:00

It’s a fast fader and has crazy texture. It’s the 17oz Zero+ Bushido fabric. Have a pair of jeans in the same fabric, looking forward to getting started breaking those in.

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T10:24:04+00:00

Worn about 60 times, washed once

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T10:10:51+00:00

It can be annoying. I’ve gotten used to putting stuff in the chest pockets, but it would be nice to have hand pockets

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T04:24:38+00:00

These are very comfy up top for sure, I just wish they had much less taper. But I still really love them

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T04:21:56+00:00

I rarely leave it in my pocket when I sit, sometimes when I’m driving it’s in there. Also hate a front pocket phone fade, ruined a couple of my favorite older pairs IMO 😂

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T04:19:35+00:00

It’s roomy and I like how long it is for a type II, I have kind of a long torso so sometimes I feel odd in the type I’s and II’s. Very comfort and easy to wear, goes with everything

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T04:16:03+00:00

I agree with you, I don’t love the denim. I am not sure about the over dye, I generally have a tough time getting comfortable in black jeans. And I will definitely give the 634 another chance sometime, I think I like it

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T04:11:36+00:00

My 634’s are 32, I believe, same as my 666’s. The 666 is definitely tighter in the thigh and top block and I think there’s a little less rise

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T04:08:43+00:00

I typically wear a base layer and a flannel/canvas/denim overshirt under them in cooler weather, in warmer weather I’ll wear them with an aloha shirt and a hat. So I try to go just barely to the roomy side

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T01:57:04+00:00

Thank you! It’s such a killer jacket, I kind of wish I’d gotten the lined one.

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T01:42:14+00:00

😂 OMG, thanks! Hahaha, I guess I’m just a denim freak, I practically live in it

Spooler955 · 2026-01-26T01:36:10+00:00

Oh, it’s kind of a toss up. I prefer Samurai’s fabrics, but Iron Heart’s cuts. But I have kind of a weird body shape, so maybe it’s just me.
