im 6"0" 135lbs. and my true to waist is 28". what size should i get in sammies s5000bk, 26 or 27?

For reference, you always can look at the first page of Samurai denim (redux) thread. That is almost like samurai-encyclopedia. Thanks to gimmegimme

In my opinion, you can get 27" to play safe

26" could be painfully tight

the one thing i'm waiting for is a black version of the s0500xx texas denim...

haha, besides that i'm really thinking about picking up a pair of s710bk since they really look very nice...

Are they gonna be released??????? or is it just rumor??

that's good for a first date!!! let your girlfriend types on your crotchhhh haha

compared to mr.3001 FH

which one is sicker??? hahaa

For those of you who already bought SExFH05, is it gonna be your current project or as an investment for future project???

shit...i was gonna proxy some S0500x's from 2nd but now i guess i'll just order them myself...save me ~$80

I heard that 2nd can not ship to US due to Levi's lawsuit. If you live outside US, it wont be a problem

I also 2 size down from my s5000vx. I got 32. True waist 34"

When I soak it, I placed rectangular cookie sheet on the waist to avoid much shrinkage.

Now, it fits me a littleee bit tight on the waist, but not painfully tight.

I also lose a couple pounds.. Maybe that is the explanation why I can fit : )

Btw, fndmybetterhalf...

when you soaked your 0500xx, you already placed a hanger at the waist, right? how come it is still tight? even you only sized down 1.

IMO, the best evisu is no. 1.

Coz, I dont like overwhelming paint on the back pockets

That's only my opinion though

you have to buy what you really want to buy.

take others' opinions as guide

Agreed. I know it seems like a lot of cash, but go straight for one of the Japanese brands like Samurai or Flathead, etc. Most of us on here started with something like Nudie or APC, and then ended up buying a nicer pair and tossing them to the side. Save yourself the money and the hassle.

There are always good deals in the supermarket. Find a brand/cut/model you like, get the sizing advice in the corresponding thread, and then scour for someone else's pair for sale.

haha trust gimmegimme...... I also started with nudie, but after I bought Samurai and Flathead, you can notice the big gap on the quality between the japanese brand and nudie/APC

huahahaaaa pal... this is not a forum to discuss about rock republic, true religion, seven, and other fashion brand denim. This is a forum to discuss REAL japanese denim brands like Samurai, Flathead, Studio D'artisan, DenimJunkie, etc.

You should change your denim style. I used to wear TR and RR, but after I read this forum I am interested in japanese denim.

The benefits of wearing japanese denim:

- nice fades

- durable

- high quality (much higher than those fashion denim brands)

- less water consumption to wash ur denim as you dont need to wash it often

- etc

that's only my opinion

how can that huge wallets fit into your back pockets?

maybe you only can put it on the back of your cargo pants

is S710BK out in the japanese market yet?

if it is, can someone please let me know where I can buy from online rakuten stores?

Thanks in advance

Got my jeans from Masataka

Great Communication...... Great Services..... Trustworthy..........

A+++

definitely will do business again : )

anybody here breaking in FH 4001BK?

If there is any, I would like to see the results and compare it to samurai black denim...

: )

I'm curious then, denimformytummy, why you're spending time on your nudies if you admit they're lower quality...

Haha.. good question.. I already wore my nudies for 4-5 months before I know other higher quality japanese brands like Samurai, Flathead, etc. Since I already waste my 5 month time, I just wear it until it hit 1 year. I don't like to stop at the middle of the breaking in process. BTW, I already saw many great results from nudie in spite of its lower quality. That's only my opinion : ) .

^ hey, im not going to doubt you denim expert if you say nudies & apc are shit.

but if you want to sound credible, at least give me reasons why they're not as good as compared to say samurais, flat heads, iron hearts, etc. Otherwise i would think people buy samurais because other people buy it and it's more expensive than nudies & apC so that justifies theyre a better quality? in whichever case, it's not the reason for me to pick up anything >$150.

are the cottons better or something? or what makes samurai superior?

Hi mr. Invicible, I also just got into dry denim 5-6 months ago and I already read hundred thousands of posts in mynudies and sufu forum.

If you want to hear reason why japanese brands like Samurai, SDA, Eternal, Flatheads, Ironhearts, PBJ, etc (u name it) are better than APC and Nudie.

First factor is that their quality is more durable and they have better construction. The most important thing is the dying process.

For Japanese brands, you can wash your jeans monthly or even weekly without losing much of indigo, and you can still get a good fades.

Try to wash your nudies/APC monthly or even weekly, they will lose A LOT of indigo for each wash. It is almost impossible to get a good fade with nudies/apc washed frequently.

That's only my knowledge coz I just got into dry denim 4 months ago. Hope it helps a bit.

Does anybody here wants to try S710BK instead of the indigo one?

add 10 or 20 bucks you can get uniqlo

or buy used uniqlo

or gap selvedge

that's the only option..

Save money!!!!! DOnt eat out too often!!!!

haha.... BTW, I am not planning to break in all of my raw jeans.

The only thing that I want to break in after I finish this project are RRDS , Flathead 3001 and s710bk

I just want to keep the rest raw. coz I LOVE the smell of fresh indigo and the thickness. I don't know if it's just me. haha

If I have more time then.. I will break all of them. : )

I am confused between these two

Samurai S710BK or Flathead 4001BK

flathead 3001.... coz I own one..lol

Btw, If my waist size is 33", is it ok for me to get 32" S710bk?

Hi, I am new here.....

I am just wondering which japanese black denim is the best besides Sammy s5000bk/s710bk.

Thanks in advance
