  1. Does anyone know if Samurai has ever made the 5000 cut in 19oz denim ? I wish I would have jumped on those 500 19 oz a while back.....,

    The older I get the wider my thighs get it seems. I've went from SEXI14's to 710's to now needing a cut similar to the 5000. All in the past two years. I guess it's time to get my grown man on haha.

  2. Ray Lansburg at theblackacre.net is great to work with -- excellent materials and craftsmanship at fair prices.

    Yeah, I love his work but do you know if he is still taking orders ? I thought I saw where he quit doing custom orders.

  3. There were a few minor differences with the latest run. Nothing major. We updated our size charts accordingly. Many people report that this denim stretches slightly beyond raw so the 31w could work for you.

    Thanks ! Your size chart looks more like what I was hoping for . Others have the waist running a LOT larger.

     

    Size 32 005 Waist

     

    Rivet & Hide - 33

    Okayama- 34.5

    Blue In Green- 33.75

    Denimio- 33.27 ( One Wash)

    Dutil- 34.5

  4. Does anyone know if sizing for 005 change from run to run ? I had a size 31 a couple of years ago that were too small but I'm looking at the current size chart and 32's seem huge in the waist and 31's seem perfect...,,, After soaking and stretching I like to end up with a waist measurement of 16.5 and a thigh measurement of 12 to 12.25. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  5. I probably have a pair of 710OG in size 31 that I will be looking to sell, if anyone is interested. I bought a 32 and I think these will work better.... They have not been soaked, just tried on in the house a few times. 

  6. I'm, looking for a double wrap bracelet that has a closure that will not wear out if taken on and off a lot. I think the ones like Tanner Goods will so I need a snap or a hook of some sort. Any suggestions ?

  7. They really do not look like that. At least mine don't. I was wondering why that photo came out like that too tho.

    Have the hidden arcs been rubbed by the factory? Looks like the denim is already faded...

    Great pair, Cander, still my favorite in the contest. I'll try to post updates soon, too. But life is keeping me pretty busy.

  8. I've never had a pair but I thought hidden arcs had something sewn in the back pocket ? Mine just have stitching.

    Yes I did..they are in the air ATM

    good to know, then my eyes didn't betray me :D

  9. Got any post soak measurements ?

    Slipped them on today after they dried overnight and the 710 cut is pretty ideal.

    At first I thought they were a bit too slim but they stretched a little bit just in that short amount of time.

    The denim after the soak is quite stiff (as to be expected) and got a bit more hairy as well.

    Definitely going to need these hemmed at some point.

    I'll post some more pictures soon!

  10. Does anyone know the best way to stretch out the top block ? For some reason I have this issue with every 710 I've tried. The waist has a decent size gap that sticks out on my backside. But from the waist down to the thigh is a little tight for pre soak. The thighs are ok tho... Should I wear them for a few days before I soak them? So I can stretch them out a little bit. Or just warm soak and wear ?

  11. Yeah they seem to be 1 size off in the waist and thigh. Those measurements came from Yuichi though.... Guess I am going with a 31 instead of 32. I'm usually in between those two sized any way. 19oz 710 size 32 too big in the waist and 31 too small in the thigh. Hopefully these work out.

  12. These are the measurements I just got for the 710OG if it helps anyone

    These are raw measurements.
