The term “Murakumo” is a Japanese word that refers to the drifting movements of clustered clouds. It’s a poetic and fitting term to describe the beautifully expressive, irregular weave of Samurai’s S21117oz-SLB Relaxed Tapered Jeans.
Here, the low-tension weave of the denim and the exaggeratedly slubby texture of the yarn combine with indigo rope-dyeing techniques to create the illusion of a stormy sky — rich “asagi” blues punctuated by clusters of cloud-like, slubby white yarns. This is a denim of impressive visual depth and complexity, as much in colour as in texture.
Presented in Samurai’s 211 Relaxed Tapered fit. A mid-rise cut with a slim-ish finish overall, but with room in the thigh. The gradual taper makes for a sharp, clean, flattering silhouette. Finished, as always, with Samurai’s signature array of finer details: heavyweight jacquard-woven pocket bags, silver lamé selvedge ID, and chainstitch construction.
