SJST25-102L - "Snake Slayer" Heavyweight T-Shirt - White

Samurai Jeans brings their signature craftsmanship to the realm of heavyweight basics with the SJST25-102L "Snake Slayer" pocket T-shirt. Built from 8.5oz loopwheeled jersey, this tee has a dense yet breathable feel, embodying the rich texture and durability Samurai is known for. The 14-gauge tubular knit construction ensures a seamless body for maximum comfort, while the regular fit keeps things classic. True to Samurai’s commitment to detail, the T-shirt features reinforced three-needle stitching at the collar and a ribbed neckline for lasting structure. A single chest pocket adds both function and a touch of workwear utility. Pre-rinsed to minimize shrinkage, this Japan-made staple is ready to wear from day one. The extra allure of this t-shirt is the multi-colored print on the back. 

The "Snake Slayer" T-shirt by Samurai Jeans draws inspiration from a legendary tale of the Kamakura period (1185–1333). The design depicts Wada Tanenaga, a samurai who, in complete darkness, slew a giant serpent with a single sword in a cave at the foot of Mount Fuji, restoring peace to the land. This artwork reflects the influence of musha-e, a genre of Edo-period ukiyo-e paintings that celebrate heroic warriors. One such print portrays Tanenaga’s legendary battle, capturing his unwavering bravery.

Fit Notes: In general, Samurai tops fit a bit small. They've modified this shirt to be a bit longer, and have a bit more room in the chest this round. We would recommend starting with one size above your norm, and then going up once more from there if you want something other than a tailored fit. Tommy is wearing an XL in the photos. He is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 40" chest. His North American size is M and his Japanese size is L.
