Some like it thick n heavy!
Ever since I got a Samurai Jeans monster belt earlier this year - I’ve been wanting to buy a pair of heavy denim shorts to go with it. And yes I’m a shorts person for temps higher than 18 Celsius and I pair shorts with heavy HH MC jackets
The heaviest I could find was Samurai 21 Oz and it cost an absolute fortune.
So by chance I saw someone on eBay selling a pair of almost new Soso 33oz jeans at 34 size which is 1.5-2 sizes bigger for me. I paid £125 and thought it was a steal! Too bad the legs are so baggy so I thought why not turn them into cutoff shorts!
For cutoff point I referred to a pair of size L Cactus Industry waxed canvas shorts which fit me so well and it’s baggy so not too hot in summer either.
Turned out satisfactory and I know the threads at the hem roll can be a bit of eye sore but I do want to keep the roll in place. I thought about using deerskin to wrap the hem roll but that’d covered the selvedge on the side - so opted for the heaviest linen threads for saddle stitch bridle hides.
One benefit of having 1.5-2 sizes larger waist, is I can pull on/off these Soso without having to undo the finger killer buttons!
I used to think the size 36 Samurai Jeans belt I bought was way too long for my 31 waist - I can barely buckle up at the hole second to last over these Soso shorts.
One of a kind! I’ll enjoy sweating in them next summer. I do plan to wash these regularly so the waist may well shrink a bit.
