28" Apc Ns = ?? Rrds

well yea im gonna go for it...been wanting some sammys for a while now....can anyone help me w/my other questions?

will the S0500XX's shrink to be too small for me in the waist?

how much will they shrink lengthwise?

i don't know how you wear you jeans so i can't say if they will be too small in waist or not .They shrink aprrox. 2.5 inches in length. you can also read more about this in samurai denim contest thread

sounds very good for me

I would take it if you don't want that deal.

P.S. i sent you a private message

Did you friend wear them yet?

you got them from factory people didnt you

no i got them from japan

They are prps slim (non selvedge) rinse. they fit baggy.

3.5 months 2 washes.

natural light no flash

First at almost 3 months, hot machine wash with woolite and hang dry. Second washes yesterday, hot machine wash with ordinary detergent and tumble dry.

Hum. Hipster is a woman's jean eh. Interesting. Is a sz30 hipster the same as a sz30 NS? I wear all my jeans pretty low... unless they're tight and i have to pull them up to buckle hahaha.

Hipster are unisex with wider leg opening and lower rise compare to NS.

I don't think different model with the same size would fit the same. I'm sure that Rescue and Hipster have different exact waist measurement.

Might be different from what's popular in here but i love my shoes

i don't know, that's just what she said. i makes no sense to me, but she doesn't speak english too well, so i didn't press the issue. i just emailed gordon, we'll see what he says about it.

She is cute, imo

Oh, maybe that's why my 45rpms have that crease down the side. I assumed it was just from folding.

Nothing to do with folding. My other jeans don't have those lines and i fold all of my jeans in the same way. I have such lines on my sorahiko too. I think that's happen when they dry jeans (Not inside out, tumble dry). I realize about the line when i put my apc in the dryer.

i normally wear 29 but at that time they only have 27 and 30 so i go for 30 and maximize the shrinkage.

PS. Poly, I guess you already know. but just to remind you that when you put jeans in tumble dry. they'll have line at the side ( best way to do is to dry them inside out and iron them. I had a bad experience from that.

you made me buy jeans.

Forgot to mention that i'm not sure. If they already have that model in onewash, they gonna do it or not. ( I still think they do, but just my oppinion )

I really appreciate their service.

I've talked to Gordon about this he said that he prefer to have each of everyjeans they carried in onewash. They soak in hot water. I don't know for how long. Tumble dry. In my case, he said that i can return if i don't like them. But not if you hemmed them.

just to clarify, the high-end 45rpms (umii and jomon) use suvin cotton; the mid-range jeans like sorahikos use zimbabwean cotton

great thread

DDML, no offense

jomon use zimbabwean cotton.

I believe they use zimbabwean cotton for R line and suvin cotton for umii line.

i know washed jeans have been discussed before but i can't seem to find it.... and really looking into distressed, ripped washed jeans.... no abercrombie stuff, no diesel, no energie.... any nice japanese brand i can look into?

Earnest Sewn, not japanese brand but cool!

Nudies are tight!!!

Nicefit for flathead.

I think they do.but you won't be able to return them if you don't like them.

actually the crotch squeeze is a bit more painful.

I gave up from those painful. Last pair i bought is baggy now. I hate TIGHT jeans

Steve, welcome to the board!!!

hang them like this if i wear them everyday if not just fold them.

PRPS slim 28

Sorahiko 29

Weird question... has anyone every had a tailor taper a pair of straight leg jeans. I ask because I love the Sorahikos but they are just too full from the knee down. Some people in this thread obivously know some good tailors.. think they could pull this off?

Initially, I found that Sorahikos have too wide leg openning. After wearing them for a while i just get used to it. If i were you i wouldn't do any alteration. So that you'll have an excuse to buy a new pair of jeans.

Keep telling my self i have ENOUGH jeans.
