A perfect fit, I must say. Which cut of samurais?

Latest addition: 5000VX 21 oz.

Fit pic after a little over 2 weeks.

I'm surprised how easy these were to break in, and they've even started showing a little electric blue on the button fly.

Stacks don't actually look like that in the back, btw.

The 13s used to be a slightly bigger cut than the 11s (based on my personal pair) now they're the same though.

Leather patch on the 13s reads "Blue In Green" rather than Pure Blue Japan.

The hardware isn't the same black color that it is on the 11s, and the leaf is blue rather than white.

That's really about it I think?

amazing fit, how did you size?

True to waist: size 28.

On a side note I'm so glad I still had the opportunity to cop these so late after their release.

I'm really digging the 17oz denim.

My PBJ XX-013 at 1 year 6mo.

Two Soaks, and one hand-wash at 1year with help from my man Dr. Bronner.

These are the older model 13s and are a little bigger than the current model at the leg opening.

Really close to current color; you can probably see all the dust these have collected working shipment.

bonus pic: The reason they got that hole in the knee, and need to be washed. I'm not sure if I want to patch the knee before I wash it because I'm not a huge fan of patches on the front (I've made plenty on my crotch).

I just don't want the hole to fray more in the wash.

They're definitely looking better as the day goes on at first they weren't settling and came up almost to the knee, but now they're right where I like em.

I'm 5'10" and completely unhemmed.

Thanks for the opinion b_F

Just adjusted the brightness so you guys could actually see the fit, pretty dark outside and flash made them blend with dark background.

I won't mind when they're just a tiny bit looser on the waist and can come down like an inch, but what do you all think?

I'd appreciate it b_F. I'll get fit pictures up once my buddy is done shooting for his final in photo and gets me my dslr back.

My Blue Shadows arrived yesterday! First pair of Samurais and I cannot stop admiring all the perfect details on these.

Can't decide whether or not to leave them stacked as is (kinda ridiculous) or have them hemmed and let them stack a little, or just cuff em. All my other previous pairs have been 15oz and below (XX-013, New Cure, LVC'47, LVC'66) so I'm not sure if the stacks will fall like they did with the lighter-weight denim.

Anyway I couldn't help but post a teaser pic of the hairiness (like my PBJs when new but x10 if memory serves me) :

XX-013 size 28

Around 6 months of (mostly) daily wear.

I figure I might as well contribute to this thread. These NCs are about 11 months old, with one wash at six months, and a rinse at the start of June. I know they look weak for 11 months, but they were basically my everyday campus stompers. My older 47's became workwear so they got the thrashing.
