  1. Okay, cool, thanks guys!  So basically what you're saying is that if I currently wear jeans with about a 33.5" waist (rough measurement I just took) and have a bit of room to spare, a size 32 with a 32" waist wouldn't be awful?

    you'll be good with that.

  2. amazing what you can get with 50 days only, especially when you compare it to the pair you wear in that picture!

    seems like you're spending a lot of your time on your knees also!

    it's crazy to think they were the color of the IH's I'm wearing only 50 days ago. and yes- I work retail and our floors are concrete so I get massive knee fades..if only I could even them out.. thanks man!

  3. who the fuck would buy anything from this company at this point? there's been a million shitty reviews for them and you'll wait what seems like an eternity for some clothes that are just off and ugly. 

     

    personally, i'd just pick up an extra shift at work for a day or two, and get well made no bullshit clothing in a reasonable time period, like a week from when you order.

    Well mostly because they seem to be pushing out a quality product.

     

    The thing is, that if this company gets over it's obvious hiccups, we will be left with people delivering really solid stuff for the price. And that's something we all want to see.

     

     

    with that being said, I may have ordered two pairs just now simply for fun.

  4. Nice!!!! I've been seriously eyeing that. I've got the Ecru X Blue one on the way right now, was able to find it on Yahoo Auctions on sale, which is odd considering its from the new season. 

     

    What's the fit like? I'm waiting for the other one to arrive to compare, but afraid if I wait too long these will sell out. They have poor distribution it seems. 

    The fit's boxy and short as you'd expect, but I'm pretty tall and lanky and it still fits me just fine.

  5. Can someone explain how and why humidity and temperature actually changes denim fading progress? I guess there are detailed articles in of pro-denim magazines, but I couldn't google any. I hear a lot about "those lucky asian guys getting sick fades by just brushing their teeth in denim", but can't see any explanation.

     

    well we know that water removes indigo from most denims, so high humidity would basically just be like your jeans being in a half-wash state constantly while you're outside. I think temp is less relevant and just makes you sweat a ton, furthering the fading process.

  6. Yup cool collection.

    What happen to imperials, don't see them get mentioned much.

    How are they compared to Samurais?

    The Imperials are cool. Only have a month or two of wear. but when I was visiting my parents, mom threw them in the wash and they shrunk a ton and have some vertical dye shifting, so I haven't worn them since. They are infinitely softer than the Sammy's, really almost no starch at all. Really really solid construction though. If they were indigo I'd wear them a lot more.

  7. 12bsp LHT loomstate I believe. Model was discontinued and sold off unfortunately. Tons of character here. The CT is also a super good fit, they're releasing a CT120x this fall which is awesome.

  8. What size chart are you looking at? The one on Denimio is the official Samurai one, which from what I've seen/heard, isn't very accurate.

     

    But I was basing mine on measurements from Segovia's pair and Robert Langdon's pairs earlier in this thread which are both sz 36 with a roughly 34cm thigh after multiple hot washes, etc.

    BiG's charts say 13.5" thigh for 36/14" thigh for 38. So it's not too much to expect them to shrink marginally then stretch back to 34cm with wear.

  9. Ordered a pair of S0500XX from Denimio and had them measure the thigh. They told me the thigh is 34cm for both the sz36 and 38. These are supposed to be unwashed, so doesn't that seem incredibly small? They said they measured from the "base of the crotch".

     

    Anyone know if there are any problems with under sized S0500XX? Or is Denimio just measuring wrong or something?

    Pretty much what the size chart says for the 36. A bit small for the 38 since it's listed at 14"
