The S500AX is slightly slimmer than a regular straight, and has a moderately tapered silhouette. It's a straight that's easy to wear, regardless of who wears it.
The denim fabric is "18oz indigo AI+ Samurai cotton selvedge". The concept of "Ai Plus" involves a special method to combine both synthetic and natural indigo to create a unique pigment of indigo while also allowing the yarns to be rope dyed. The resulting fabric face is a unique hue which cannot be achieved using synthetic dyes, combined with a slubby, neppy texture that will achieve fantastic fades. It is a denim with a rich and beautiful colour unique to indigo, with a rough expression.
The leather patch for the S500AX is designed to depict the indigo dyeing craftsmen, and it has a navy blue foil stamping. In addition, it has a silver painted iron drum button, copper coin type rivets and a SAMURAI woven label.
The sewing is mainly two colours, banana yellow and gold-brown, and it is adjusted according to the characteristics of each part, such as count, needle, and stitch width. The back pocket is designed with the image of a seagull flapping, and the shadow warrior stitching with dark blue thread. The stitch detail becomes more prominent due to colour fading over time.
