Samurai Jeans

[Cold Summer]

I've had that happen before, it's just starch.  Wipes right off, no worries!

[JohnM]

The Samurai S710-OG is tempting but I'm also thinking about the Samurai 510 cut in either 15 or 19 oz.  Is the 510 sort of like a 710 with a bit more room in the seat and thighs?  I've looked over BF's fit guide and that looks to be the case but I thought I'd check in here with those familiar with both.  Also, any preference between Samurai's 15 and 19 oz. denim?

 

Thanks.

John

Undersized S710XX

 

 

Can see what I was talking about in my post above about some marbling effect. Not as pronounced now as they have gone through a few more washes since.

My 500s against red hawk.

Post soak 40min

W 36 (hanger)

Th 13.2

Fr 11.4

Br 15.25

In 35.5

H 8.5

Probably have a good 1 inch left of shrink in the inseam and a .25 inch everywhere else but I think I'm gonna break em in as is. Had them chopped down 2 inches by BIG with the lemon stitch for extra contrast. Rest of the stitching is orange. I am stoked on these. 500s gonna chill for a bit.

I'm assuming everyones favorite pair right now are the 710 OG's hahah. Considering getting a new pair of Sams as my s710xx are pretty beat.

Just wild a guess, other brands might follow using OG denim too.

 

Or  I could be wrong.

I've always soaked new jeans outside-in and dried them the same way.  The only time I turn them inside-out is if/when they go in the washing machine since the abrasion from the machine can cause very clearly defined (white) marks

What's the difference between outside-in and inside-out?!

[JohnM]

Great point Maynard! I meant to say outside out.

So now that people have had the 710OG for a couple weeks, whats the consensus with stretching?  Does it stretch more, less, or about the same as the standard 19oz denim?

[Max Power]

They stretch pretty easily back to pre-soak measurments (haven't measured that, but it feels that way). They don't behave much different than other denims in terms of shrinkage or stretch, as far as I can tell.

[garden gnomes in space]

you liking your jeans Max?  Has the fit relaxed?

[Max Power]

Well, the are ok now. I love everything in that cut but the croth / thigh area is still a bit too tight - 0,5" more thigh or hip would already do the trick. I've worn them 5 days in the office so far. As I try to get my hands on the 500OG as well, I can live with a tighter fit in them 8as long as I don't have to sit all day). They need a hemjob though, but I'll wait until the 500 has arrived. I wrote 5 mails to 2nd and am still not sure what's so hard to understand when I tell them to "hem to 91 cm in unwashed state". Given my current bad luck in sizing, they hemmed them to 30".

My 710xx getting an extra cold soak outside a helpful local bar as part of the ALS/MND effort.

 

 

Funny how I always choose my 710's for the fun stuff...

[B-Sandy]

Ordered the last pair of size 34 710 OG from Denimio. Will post some pictures when they arrive sometime next week. 

[Max Power]

500OG's are on their way to me. If they work out, they'll replace the 500XX. if not, I'll probably kill myself or a random person in the streets.

[501XX4EVER]

if not, I'll probably kill myself or a random person in the streets.

 

Why not do both? what are you, lazy or something???

[unorthodox]

I need to know more about the S711vx. Has anyone got them yet? I saw that Denimio has a few pair but I'd love to see a fit pic.

I have a pair and posted pre-soak specs a few pages back, but slacked getting pics and updated measurements up after washing. I just sent them to BIG this afternoon for hemming/chain-stitching, and won't be getting them back until I'm up in New York in a few weeks.

 

I’ve been wearing them every day for the past 2 ½ weeks. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I’ve favored more regular cuts recently, so the transition back to something slim/tailored took some adjustment. That being said, the vx denim stretches quite a bit and the 711 feel like maybe they’ve stretched out past raw measurements (definitely in the waist). I have a size 33 pair of 710 and a size 32 pair of 5000, but went with a 34 in the 711. They have a noticeably lower rise than the 5000, and are much more slim through the upper thigh than the 710. However, despite being a slim cut, I don’t feel movement restriction like I have in other slim/skinny cuts, which could be due to the vx denim.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm going to defer to BF's knowledge. I can't remember at all.
