Samurai's latest take on the classic U.S. Army Baker Fatigues—the 15 oz. Heavyback Black Baker Pants—pushes the boundaries of rugged utility wear with a unique combination of weight, texture, and color that denim enthusiasts will truly appreciate. Samurai has been crafting their iconic olive version for years, but this is the first time they’ve unleashed this silhouette in a deep black. This exclusive version is available only at Samurai’s store in Osaka and through select Western retailers like Redcast.
These pants are crafted from 15 oz. selvedge back satin fabric, meticulously woven in Japan with a high-density weave and dyed a rich black. Unlike the usual shiny back satin typically woven with fine yarns, Samurai uses thick, uneven yarns for a distinctive, tactile feel. At 15 oz. per square yard, they might be considered lightweight by Samurai's standards, but don't be fooled—this fabric still has that substantial, crispy feel that sets them apart from typical fatigue pants. Just like with the olive version, the heavy back satin will initially feel stiff, but with wear, it softens beautifully, developing a rich patina and an effortless drape.
These mid-high rise, relaxed straight Baker Pants include the signature Samurai touches that elevate them from a mere reproduction to a piece of functional art. Think black pinewood buttons, patch pockets at the front and back, flap-closure back pockets, and bartack reinforcements for extra durability. And let's not forget the stunning silver selvedge ID running along the side seams—a nod to Samurai’s denim heritage, perfect for those who love showing off the craftsmanship that goes into every detail.
Fit Notes: These Samurai pants run slightly larger than other jeans from the brand. We recommend choosing your usual size. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size.
