I did a 45 minute soak today with the hottest water I could muster from the tap. They tightened up nicely. I'll post pictures when I find someone to hold the camera. You all can tell me if more soaks are necessary. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

I just bought some Samurai S5000VX jeans and I'm preparing to do my first hot soak. As you'll be able to tell from the photos they fit pretty well but could use some tightening in the legs. The waist, crotch, and butt are good. Any advice about soaking, how long, how hot, other info, etc. is appreciated. Should I wear these while they soak to prevent the waist and crotch from shrinking up too much? I'm nervous about shrinking too much.

Didn't someone on SUFU get the owner of Samurai to paint/sign his back pocket or am I mixing that up with Evisu?

I exchanged something and had store credit to be used.

I just bought some Sammys from BiG and I can't wait to soak them. Does anyone know where I can get arcs and the red tab added? I'm down to go to Osaka.

Does Samurai make a relaxed fit? I need a fullcut, comparable to AW Cougars.

if you turn them inside out and look at the pocket that has writing printed on it, there should be a small numbered tag on that pocket.

mine says "8" and mine are the 008 model, my friend has the 005 model and his have a "5" tag, so check to see if you have that tag.

Thank you! I found the tag. They are indeed 005s.

Nice. Thanks. They're 33" and the 1 wash model. I just compared mine to the measurements on their site and they match pretty close. Thank you for your help.

I went to college in Boston and spent a week in Cape Elizabeth after graduation with some buddies. Aside from the stomach virus I believe I caught at the Lobster Shack, it was a great trip.

Here ya are:

Not the best pictures, but I hope they work. I can take more. The legs are very tight on me but I think the biggest problem is that the fly and back (from the bottom of the crotch to the top of the belt loop) is too short. It leaves no room for the butt or junk.

Thanks for your help.

PS, Is Rogue's Gallery in Portland doing alright? I stopped by a few weeks ago during store hours and they were closed. I left a mssg at corporate and no one ever called me back.

The problem is I have no idea which cut of PBJs I bought. I can't find any identification on the jeans and the tags were removed in-store.

Do any of the brands BiG carry make roomy, regular, full cut jeans? I got some PBJs I need to exchange cause the crotch is too tight. Ande Whall Cougars & Nudie Straight Svens fit me perfectly. Thanks in advance.

After visting a shop and trying to pick out my next paid of jawns I think it needs to be said that the AW Cougars are the best fitting jeans I've ever owned. I've beaten the hell out of them and I absolutely love them.

I'm definitely selling them. Sagging help but the crotch is still too cramped for me. I need a fuller cut with a longer fly. PM me if anyone is interested. Only worn 3 days, 33" waist, in perfect shape.

Word. Anyone wanna pick these up? 33" waist, worn for 2 and a half days.

I'm sagging but this is still pretty brutal. I'll wear 'em like this for a week and see if it's any better. I can't believe how short the fly is on these; I think that's causing the discomfort.

I just bought these 1 wash jeans at BiG a few days ago and Gordon assured me they would stretch. I've worn them for two days and I'm not sure. The waist has stretched but the crotch is still terrible. There's no room for the bits and they're not comfortable.

Here are pictures after 2 days:

Other than the crotch the fit is pretty decent. Will these stretch?

Is there a thread with must visit shopping spots? Please link me. I go to Seoul in 8 hours.

I'm going to Seoul tomorrow. What are the shopping spots? Is there a thread or a map? Searched SuperTravel, no help.

Dell is up and running 10.5.7. It's running beautifully.

Kiya - When are you in the shop? I'll be visiting in one week and I want to make sure I catch you. I need new jawns for an epic journey.

Looks like all wovens are sold out in Large. Bummer.
