These retail for $325!

thats insane!

According to the expert who posted them thats a "STEAL for the quality"

I think they would just tell me they couldn't ship them, they aren't gonna bust out the seam ripper for an American order.

I agree with the reccomendation that if you can get to San Fran or NY go to the aforementioned stores to get the right size and style for you. Sizing can be tricky, especially if you are not used to the Japanese brands

2xist soy trunks - Amazing fabric, breathes, insulates and you totally forget it is there. Too bad they are so expensive

Finally got my order from 2nd sorted, guess they don't take Visa Sharecheck cards (even though it counts as a credit card everywhere else?), but my normal Visa worked fine. We will see if my Sammies show up with arcs and tabs in a couple of days.

Are the measurements on the big chart accurate to your pair?

You can:

a) Do squats until you get more junk in the trunk

hot wash and possibly dry to shrink them puppies

c) Just wear, it gets a little better with time

d)Sell them and size down next time

My W+H hoodie has been feeling neglected (It got a vacation on the top of Mount Kiluea but thats it)

I am going to try another card and see if that fixes things.

I wish they took paypal, it would simplify the shipping and payment process.

Thanks for the responses.

Might be important to note that this one was from 2nd not Rakuten, and had a price breakdown with international shipping included.

Could this have gone through and we just don't understand eachother through machine translators?

Yeah, my address is the same, but I dont think they need it to be as it is international and I am not sure they could decipher it properly. I called the bank and they said it had not even been run which is odd. I tried modifying the order and reentering the credit card to make sure all the numbers were correct but got another email that seems to say the same thing. I emailed 2nd but they just told me (I think) that it is not them, but Rakuten that handles this.

This mail is the important mail regarding the order of the customer.

Until transaction completes, please retain.

So I set up a rakuten account per instructions and got verification. I then placed an order with 2nd and got an automated email about my credit card not running. Anybody who could explain this to me would be much appreciated. Seems to be saying either my expiration date was wrong (I checked, it was good) or my bank refused the transaction. I am going to call them but I wanted to know if anybody had a similar situation.

Thanks

Stone Russian Imperial Stout FTW

Sooooo tempted to upsize 2 just to see

Wow, damn good deal

Bump before Ebay

That is a great pic of the belt loop

It is not pointless to buy higher quality jeans in general, many people here like keeping jeans dark especially for 'dressier' occasions. I know that the quality of the material, fit and finish and all the little details make my japanese jeans that much more special even without fades.

That being said, you might want to pick up some denim that will show wear faster if you will not wear them frequently. I might suggest Flat Head 3xxx or Eternal but I am sure there are others.

Hit me with offers!

Part of my problem is that I can't decide. I had a pair of xx-005s that looked good but were too tight all over to wear. I was thinking of sizing up on 008s to get that nice denim and a more "regular" fit. I have some Sam 5000vxs that are nice but too baggy in the hips for my liking so I was thinking that sizing down from 30 to 29 might alleviate the problem with the 510; plus the thigh to knee drop is smaller on the 510 than the 5000 so I think it would look less top heavy on me (6'1" 150lbs).

PBJ = Fit

Samurai = Details and quality

Flat Head = Denim and Fit?

My man at bears keeps me coming back to the Flat heads too:

Flathead 380 or Sam S0510xx sized down or PBJ xx-008 sized up

Great deal, too bad you hemmed them so short

Thanks Kiya, as always you are quick and helpful.

But I was also looking for post-wash rise, knee, and hem (at 32in) measurements. Might be a stretch but its worth a try if some friendly soul has a pair.

Buying jeans that I can't try on is a pain, so measurements are the best I can hope for
