moar pics plz.

Bump for LHT awesomeness.

I went true to size with my lot 11 710s. perfect fit everywhere, don't wear a belt with them. and i'm on the skinny side, so you needn't size down unless you're REALLY skinny.

edit -- took two or three hot washes to shrink them down, though.

edit 2 -- i found some pictures for reference. in order, they are raw/presoak, then after hot wash hot dry, then after hot wash hot dry #2.

Good looking fit +rep

Measurements

Waist: 16.5

Upper Thigh: 11

Knee 9.5

Leg opening 9.5

Length 36.5

Front rise 11

how are these different than the other jin models i think its the 110xj's?

TBH I don't even know.

Only thing that I can see is the lack of rear built in belt thingy. But don't quote me on that. I don't speak japanese so don't really know.

I'll get measurements tomorrow.

I bought these just a week ago. I soaked them twice and the fit just isn't right for me. These are awesome jeans I am going to buy a size down.

I wore them one time for about half a day. I'd keep them but I'm going to commit to them for an entire year so I don't want to settle for a fit that I don't love.

My loss is your gain. I just paid $260 and I'll let them go for $210 anywhere in North America.

Now for some pics.

Samurai Official pics

Can take more on request.

I've already ordered the 32s so help a brother out!!!

It's not for me.

I think I'm going to sell the 1040x Jins if anyone is interested in some size 33s.

I want to size down. The fit isn't perfect for me and if I'm going to dedicate another year of my life I don't want to settle. So if anyone 33-34 is interested PM me. I soaked them twice and only wore them for like a half of a day.

this is something new for me

i noticed my samurai's red tab was folded

so i ironed it flat

Slip a toothpick or two down it and it should stay flat eventually.

Ok two more quick ones.

What do we have here?

Oooh

Self timer shot ended up being pretty funny, Camera decided to focus on the couch where my old pair was. So those are in focus and I'm not. Oh well just quick pre soak shots.

I think they'll end up fitting pretty well. Not quite as fitted as my 5000vxes but I'm not sure I could get into a pair of 32s. These 33s I can barely button up as it is so once they soak its gonna be a painful stretch.

Looking forward to it. I may just start mixing them in with My 5000vxes then in like 3 months of everyother day wear just got hard on them for a long while.

Oh and I promise better post soak shots.

also ended up costing me nothing from customs. I asked them to mark it down on the box.

The Jins have been released by customs. Should have them in my possession tomorrow.

Waiting for things is hard.

Looking forward to seeing them man, have you soaked your pair yet?

Nah, sorry wasn't clear. Just ordered them. Should get them this week or next.

Looking forward to it, those are the ones that were cut like the 510 right?

Allegedlly.

Btw thanks for all the comments and +rep guys. I got a ton.

Ok, Ordered the S0140XJ from 2nd true to size.

We'll see how they fit. Gonna hold off wearing them for a bit though.

I think I settled on my next pair.

Anyone know how the s0140x's size compared to the 5000vxs?

Looking at the numbers it looks like I should size down for a simlar fit. But that feels dicey.

FWIW I went true to size on the 5000vxs. I also own dukes in 33 that fit well and I sized up on the RJB 19cms and those are slightly too big in the block.

Ok guys here it is. 365 days 365 wears.

Four soaks, four washes.

Figure I am going to go at least a few more months. Not really sure what my next pair will be. If you have any ideas shoot.

Gonna apologize in advance for so many pictures. But hey its the a year and I won't be posting them for a while after this.

First pics I have.

Two more days until 365 days 365 wears. Pics coming!

Stacking is intense on those I love the hidden arcs.

The hidden arcs are crazy because they are the exact opposite of the normal arcs.

With the normal arcs as the jeans get older the arcs pretty much fall off and disappear and with the hidden arcs the older they get the more pronounced they are.

sixsixtie - incredible man, just amazing.

have you needed to repair them at all?

they look tough enough to go another year.

No, no major repairs thus far. Did a few stitches in the crotch just to keep the seems from coming apart but the denim hasn't ripped at all. Will probably need a patch in the next 2-3 months. We'll see I guess.

sixsixtie: nice work there. Have you noticed if the top button is a little loose because mine are?

My top button actually popped off about 2 weeks in. I hammered it back on and its been loose ever since, though its never came off.

Lol it was the strap that screwed me. I put it down on my BBQ and then went to grab it. The strap hooked on something and pulled it right out of my hand and that was that.
