  2. I've asked them to measure a pair but they said I have to go after the sizing they have on the site. But the sizing is tagged size raw. And when I compare bill_e_jeans posted measurements on his 36" 510s they are correct. But hard to tell overall I think. Im pending between 34,35 or 36 for the order Im gonna place for a pair of 510 19oz.

  3. hi. i did the soak this morning and the jeans are not completely dry yet but it seems they shrunk a good amount.

    the actual waist measures a bit less than 42 cm (from 44 cm) after the first 60 minutes warm soak. leg opening is ca. 23 cm (from 24 cm).

    i think i will do a second soak tomorrow and do the hem job next week.

    Intressting that they are that small. But it also makes sense with the chart Denimio has. Im starting to think of a 36" waist. But please come back one all your soaks are done. :)

  4. The pre-soak waist of my s510xx is 88 cm in a size 36. I was struggeling between a 35 and a 36 but I´m happy now with my decision to take a 36.

     

    How is the after soak measurements? :)

  5. ^ best hint was to measure the best fitting pair you have. Not only the waist but also the rise and the thighs.

    Easiest would be to use Blue in Green's measuring guide (http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=41) and compare the figures you get with the sizing charts for Samurai jeans they offer.

     

    Then chose your pair :)

    True that, if I go by that I should buy about a 35, but other people here have said they are big in size. But if I go buy the charts they tend to run smaller in the waist.

     

    So, the s510xx has arrived - shipped within two days from Japan to Germany. AMAZING service from Denimio once again. I highly recommend this store!!!

    From my first impressions I would say the s510xx runs (extremely) bigger than the s710xx from it´s tights and leg opening but this was clear because of it´s 40´s / 50´s cut. But, the waist is way smaller in it´s raw state that with the s7100xx after several soaks and wear.

    For my body it seems to be a good (hopefully perfect) cut and so i´m excited about the fit after one or two hot soaks and a hem of course. I will soak them right now and post all measurements later.

    Looking forward to it, post pics if you can too. And Denimio is what Im gonna use also. Really good service!

  6. my s510xx (19oz) is on delivery, so i will receive it hopefully today and can take measurements and a direct comparison to the s710xx (19oz) if you like? maybe that will help!

     

    edit: both in size 36

    Thanks, that would be really great! :)

  7. For starters thanks for all the help!

     

    I have the 19oz S510, and previously owned a a pair of LVC '47. Both in a size 34. While they had the same waist measurement after shrinkage (34.5"), the LVC's weren't a good fit due to there not being enough room in the thigh. If your LVC 47's in size 34 fit you well, I'd consider a different Samurai cut, perhaps the S710. The S510's may be a bit roomy in the thigh for your liking. 

     

    If you do go w/ the S510, and you get them raw, consider a 33 or a 34. There isn't a ton of difference in the waist, but the thigh & top block are both smaller obviously on the size 33. I had to sell a size 33 S510 because the top block & thighs were tight enough that they bothered me, but the waist & legs fit just fine. 

    I'm actually after a more relaxed fit that is different from the 1947 cut. Because they are a bit tight in the thighs, and I want more room and a more relaxed fit.

     

    @snoppkaparN fwiw that fc will quickly stretch back to 33" in the waist even a bit more.

    Thanks for the info, will wear them and stretch them a bit.

     

    Any Samurai in 34 will measure about 35" in the waist, a 35 around 36" and stretch back to those. If the LVC 47 still is smaller than tagged or shrinks from the tagged size, you will need a smaller size in Samurai. You need to measure the true waist of your best fitting pair to be sure.

     

    And if you want a cut similar to the LVC, the 0500 or 710 might be the better choice. The 510 is a very wide cut.

     

    I prefer the 19 oz denim, as it fades beautiful and is more versatile. If you live ina very cold climate, the 21 oz are nice too. But as the 21 oz are only available in the 510 or 5000 cut, you need to compare the actual with your desired measurements.

    Ok nice, after all the info I'm thinking of going for the 510 19oz in either 33" or 34". And the 19oz will do, even if I live in Sweden and it gets really cold.

     

    Do anybody know how much the 33 and 34 differ in the thighs, if I compare to the LVC 1947 will the 33 be close to that or alot bigger? I have for example a pair of Sugar cane hawaii in 36x36 and I like the fit except the waist is way to big now for me. So I want a fit that is bigger than the 1947 and slightly smaller than the Hawaiis.

     

    Thanks again! :)

  8. Ok, so I need you guys help (and I know theres alot of talk about sizing). I want to buy a pair of S510xx either 19oz or 21oz.

     

    But there is really hard to find which size I'm gonna buy, I have a pair of LVC 501xx 1947 in 34x36 and they fit me well and I have gotten max shrinkage out of them. The problem is I bought a pair of Full count 1101 one wash tagged 33x36 but the waist is was 31.4" and there is no way I can wear them, so Im scared another pair that wont fit me well.

     

    So what size do you guys recommend? I'm thinking about a waist of 35", they should have some room for shrinkage and then expand a bit after some wears. But I'm scared they will become to wide then, but if I get the 34" maybe they will be way to small after a soak.

     

    So I need your guidance that have some experience regarding Samurai and s510xx.

     

    And a second question, do you guys think its worth the extra money for the 21oz or should I go for the 19oz?

  9. I got blisters when I walked in a pair of too narrow RW 877. My feet almost never blister but they had it in for me and I got blisters at the heels of both feet. I heard that the 877 can cause that because of the seam that is there. Or maybe it was because me feet was to big.

    But my iron rangers is no problem at all! yay
