Sure thing, @GautamKrisna. Below are the measurements pre-soak and after a lukewarm soak and dry. A couple of things to note: brand new, the waist measured 34 inches. I wore them for a day and they stretched a bit, so they were 34.5 inches in the waist when I soaked them.

Samurai 0500xx tag size 34 - Pre-soak

Waist - 17 1/4" (34 1/2")

Front rise - 11 1/4"

Back rise - 15 1/8"

Thigh @ crotch - 13 1/4"; thigh 2" down - 12 3/4"

Knee - 9 5/8"

Hem - 9 1/8"

Post-soak

Waist - 16 1/2" (33")

Front rise - 11 1/4"

Back rise - 15"

Thigh @ crotch - 12 3/4"; thigh 2" down - 12 1/4"

Knee - 9 3/8"

Hem - 8 3/4"

Inseam - 35 1/2" (didn't measure pre-soak)

I wore them this evening for a couple hours and it is going to take a while for gravity (or, rather, the force one's gut places on the waistband of a pair of raw jeans) to work its magic and stretch these puppies out. Everything fits well except for the waist which is snug when standing, but tough to take sitting down. My other pair of raw denim also measured 33 in the waist when I got them, so I am hoping the Samurai stretch with regular wear.

Best of luck with that, happy fading...

Thanks for the advice, @HGS. The 0500xx actually fit pretty well after a day of wear. The waist stretched to 34.5", but I could still use another half inch for them to be perfect. I can't return them because i got them during a special promotion and the jeans are not eligible for return or exchange. I'll likely give them a cold soak and hang dry, then wear them for a few weeks to see if they loosen up. Thanks again!

I am curious to know the wash results....

Guys, I am planning to order S5000VX, need some help to get the size right. I intend to cold machine wash and line dry every month after the initial hot soak.

I need to have my waist settle down between 35.5'' to 36'' ultimately after all the shrinkage and stretching is out the way. Tag 34 seem to come with a 35 inches( as per denimio), do you think if I order Tag 34 it will ultimately settle down close to 36 inches ?
