  1. Here are some updated pics of the 2 pairs of Samurais I've been workin on since last year. I've worn both of and on for the past year. Washed each pair once in hot water and dryed on hot.

    In my estimates, I've worn both pairs for about 6 months a piece to work them evenly

  2. Here are some pics of the fit on both jeans. I'm 5'10" and 165lbs. The s5000BKs are 34x36 and the s710xx are 36x36. Both were soaked and dryed the same exact way. Neither are hemmed:

    Do we still need pics of the selvage coin pocket? I mean, we know it's there...

    I guess I really like the little details the jeans have. I didn't even realize my s710xx had it. When I saw it on the s5000BK, I went back and checked the s710xx and to my surprize, coin pocket selvedge. Attention to detail is great.

  3. Here are some pics I took during the soak:

    The tub was pretty much black after about an hour of soak. I let the jeans soak in boiling water for a little more then 3 hours. Added about a gallon of boiling water every hour. As soon as I let the water drain, I put them in the dryer for 50 minutes on hot. The result was very very good imo

    Hi Moe preme welcome to the forum,

    can you do me a favour and post me pics here or private message of your

    5000bk after they have been worn for a week or so?

    that would be really good help cuz im interested in how the creases start to set in.

    I'll be sure to post up some pics in a week or so here so you can see the very small progress they have made. Hopefully I can keep this post up for the evolution of my Sammie BKs & s710 for about a year.

  4. Here you go. This has been posted many times before though... :)

    Those are the instructions I used to order my sammies. Just follow them step by step and you should have no problem. Shipping is fast, and as much as I love Blue In Green, it's gonna hurt your pockets less. You also get the jeans as they are made with the accurates in tact and with the red sammie tag. As you can see my s710xx have no red tag cause they were purchased from BiG after the Levi's stuff. I'll try and post some pics of the after soak and fit of both pairs.

  5. Hello fellow Sufu peoples. I've been lurkin around the forums for a few months now and plan to become a regular around here. Already started on my s710 sammies and just recieved my s5000bk from 2nd.

    I have to thank a fellow SuFu member for the instructions he used to order from 2nd in Japan. I can't access my inbox right now so he remains anonymous.
