yeah.. the one that really matters is how hard you wear those jeans not the time.

In my case, I sit a lot and walk less than 2 miles a day. I am a student who are sitting for hours hearing a lecture... therefore, I need more time to break in my jeans T-T

now that i think about it...... how can i tell if flatheads are real?? the seller told me they are from pre2001 so they are OLD, but i dont know if they are real or not. i dont even know if the company existed in 2001....

FH already opened at 2001. Ask the seller to give you more photos such as the selvedge, inside pocket, etc.

Envy the leg twist!!!

fmbh, I agree with edmond.... Those SDA are tough as hell to break them in.....

but, if you are confident in it, then go for it...

+1 vote for SDA

Got drugs from Masataka yesterday.. so high!!!!

HAHHAHA JUST KIDDING

Got 2 denim from him yesterday.... communication is excellent, shipping is fast, reliable service, TRUST him

Will do business again......

hey guys I just got a pair of 710BK sammies from BiG.....is it suppose to be black denim...i thought it was suppose to be indigo?

you spend $250+ on some denim that you did not know?

haha.......... hilarious

WTF, Flathead for $46.05........... Is that authentic? If it is, then you are so damn lucky

Flathead is unsanforized, so you will expect shrinkage after soak/wash......

damn lucky............

hahahahaha

good luck then

hey jay..... Fading is not everything. Both Lamb and sidneylo have great pairs. Their different fades is caused by their body types and what activities they did in them.

Surely, you wont go hiking a lot or workin in a mine to get a beautiful fade.

So, stop comparing which one is better and blam Sid for editing.

Both are great pairs.

Question. I fucked up my patch doing a hot soak on my jeans. It's now hard like a cracker. Is there any way to get it back to being supple??

apply some leather oil on them.

a bit of knee honeycombs?

wtf? are there no more working Japanese proxy services? sharpservice? parachutes? cyberPUNK? who are people using these days? they all seem to be down or on hiatus.

try zipangu treasures

I am using it right now.

Masataka is a great person and reliable

Great idea! You could get 4 crappy pairs for $250 instead of 1 good pair, and end up wearing them all out in the same amount of time you would've spent on the 1 good pair....

Well, I only recommend him to get the fit he want (tight fit)

What do you recommend anyway smarty? it seems that there are very few tight fit that has high quality.

Skulls is a good option.

Try cheap monday.........

I have to agree with napoleon. I down sized 2 with my s5000vx and stretch it manually. Finally, it could fit better.

Trust me zero denim stretch A LOT, weeks after you wear it, you will feel the difference.

BUT, it is your jeans. It is up to you though.

Good luck

is there any mouse in your house?

while you are sleeping, they bite the jeans???

I heard that he already closed his shop??????????

Am I right??

Please correct me if I'm wrong

do you wash your "little brother" when you take shower? just kidding:D

I believe that is from the chemical that destroy the jeans and make holes

some kind of acid??????? you were saying that H2SO4???

why proxy from 2nd???

why don't u e-mail them and ask them to ship to you directly..it's much cheaper that way

I can't, coz I live in US.

2nd don't ship samurai with arcs and tabs to US anymore coz levis lawsuit.

please correct me if im wrong

Kubrick --> NICE FITTTTT.. that's the way s710bk fit should be.

Masataka.. I have a question....

Do Samurai still have problem in lot 10 sizing on samurai s5000bk and s0500xx at 2nd?

I need to decide on the size....

thanks,

I am sorry to bring this topic back again, but I 'm really curious.

Do Samurai still have problem with the sizing (shrink from tag size 32 to 30) until now? or they already fixed it?

coz, nobdy discuss it anymore...

I am planning to proxy from 2nd.

Thanks in advance for ur opinion

just think it as a process of aging...... dont worry too much

see, thats why i dont like to machine wash or dry. for 4 reasons:

1) the stupid creases that are more likely to occur

2)the machine agitates the entire jean, thus increasing the chances of the jean looking washed-out too early.

3) in the good old aces&eights days they didn't have washers or dryers

4) hang drying leaves the denim more rigid imho.

Then, what do you recommend for cleaning them up?

Hand-wash/ soak??

from the "how do jeans fit" thread

probably wont get to break these in for a while. still working on some jins and tasukis

pre soak measurements

waist 31

front rise 10.5

back rise 13.5

thigh 11.5

knee 8.5

hem 8

inseam 36

Is that a 5000 fit?????? it is supposed to be regular fit (slimmish)

its so slim : )

it is more like one size up s710xx cut for me imo

hehe
