The S500AX is a heavyweight, straight-cut denim that’s both abundant in texture and unique in its shades of indigo. The "Ai Plus" process used to dye this denim involves blending a range of natural and synthetic indigos. The result is a distinctive pigment that simply could not be achieved by using one single dye.
This denim also contains a helping of Samurai’s very own, homegrown organic cotton. This gives the denim a charmingly neppy irregularity, lending some immediate texture and character while also paving the way for some beautiful ageing down the line.
Cut to a relatively slim, straight-leg fit and finished with a host of Samurai’s finer details, including a set of hidden back pocket arcuates that will only reveal themselves as the denim breaks in.
