mctaran

1 month of wear. pretty happy so far.

more pics at Samurai S500JX-LR Contest

I guess it's time for a late update.

It was a nightmare cold month (like -20-24c everyday), and i had a flu, so missed 1 week of wear

So right now it's like 1 month of wear.

Nuff much happening, but some stuff is already set, i can see fades near croth, on the back, some atari, etc.

And yea, i can see some differences between pant legs!

And some closeups:

Also a question: Japanesse HH will be only black? will sell my soul for brown color

i can be wrong, but Viberg SB is around $600-650. not 700

aye, great fit and car!

x-post from Samurai S500JX-LR Contest:

Wearing them like 5 days @ week, like 2 weeks total.

my size in RW GT and White's packers is 8D, guess will do some feet tracing to figure out viberg size.

my white's packers

bought it like 6 months ago.

Afaik it's the japanese horsehide, but exactly the one wich flat head and buco are using for boots, but i'm not sure.

I saw flat head boots in japan and the leather is super nice!

It was cold outside, so i took some indoor fit picks

My jeans was washed and hemmed by Yuichi-san in Japan, and i must say he did a great job!

RW as bonus

So, here we are:

1st day.

i took some pics on my way to my office. I'm working in historical centre of Moscow, near kremlin, so i took some picks to show how my city actually looks:

Buildings near my workplace looks and feels kinda vintage

aye, sorry, just had my jeans yesterday!

and...

THEY ARE INSANE UBER COOL!

and fits just perfect!

pics will be tommorow at evening, will do some fit pics + some cool shots of moscow

Oh! that's a super video! Thank you!

I was at this place last spring, so i just had a deja vu

Nogami-san wears some uber A1 jacket. is it samurai or other brand?

great fit b_F!

My pair is in Moscow EMS office already, i'm soo excited!

i would like to join with my Samurai S500JX-LR - 18oz

when were your pair shipped to you? is the post that slow in Russia?

can't wait to also see pics from you.

they was shipped 24 dec, but we had some massive issues in Moscow airports,

so probably my pair is still in Japan, due to airports crap + holidays. I mailed Yuichi-san, so mostlikely he will ask japanesse EMS after holidays.

Its most likely a transport issue.

eehh my pair is still on the way... but great pics all! can't wait!

yeeep! from official facebook page, i even shared on fb

I was kinda suprised, but there is Barack Obama in some A2 Jacket and faded jawnz

btw, any info on cat's paw heel.

how it's wearing compared to vibram 700 heel?

raw measurement of size 33 is 88 cm (waist) , 98 cm (inseam)

Oh that's niiice!

Thanks a lot!

Paid mine.

do you need one week to prepare for a soak or a real wash?

haha, ofc not!

But i need hem, and if he will hem them for me, i guess he will wash them, so that was my point.

in the end...there's nothing we can really do about it now I assume

yea right, i'm not gonna cancel etc, but right now the one thing we actually can do is decide about wash.

i mean if they r too small we can do cold soak instead of machine wash etc etc.

Atleast inseam and waist sizes will help.
