The Samurai Jeans SJSJK26-ARS is a sports-inspired jacket built around one of the brand's most distinctive fabrics: an original indigo sashiko lattice dobby cloth, woven and dyed entirely in-house. The result is a piece that reads equally at home as outerwear, a light overshirt, or a layering companion to Samurai's denim — quietly distinctive and built for years of daily wear.

The fabric's lattice pattern is reproduced through a combination of natural indigo and synthetic indigo blended dye, creating a deep, slightly purple tone with real visual depth. Using a traditional Kasezome hand-dyeing process, the yarn is dyed in hank form before weaving — allowing uneven dye penetration and the kind of tonal variation that rope-dyeing cannot produce. The more the fabric is washed, the more its texture and color character improve.

Inspired by ripstop weaves — traditionally engineered for exceptional tear strength — the cloth features a lattice pattern with thick ridges, developed to order using sashiko weaving techniques. The result is a fabric with exceptional tear strength and long-term durability, born from the immense experience and intuition of Samurai's Japanese artisans.

The silhouette is a slightly loose sports jacket cut — clean and versatile, designed to complement a wide variety of styles. Every seam has been sewn using extra-sturdy stitching methods, ensuring the jacket lasts across years of continuous wear.
