Samurai S500JX-LR Contest

[Obbigood]

thanks!

but I gave up that hope...they haven't arrived in Germany yet. I guess by tuesday maybe I get them or can take them from the custom office

That's what I'm hoping too, b_F

My guess is, it should arrive next week (crossing fingers).

Let's load this thread with plenty of pics, esp the LHT and RHT macro shots. Damn excited now

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that was also my plan. and all the details these jeans will ahve...a shitload of oics of the nice leather patch!

[kit99bar]

Mine are paid and were shipped last night. I hope they fit! pics will come

[nate]

sent my payment on Tuesday but never got a confirmation from Pirates or shipping notification. how are you guys able to know if they've shipped or not already?

[Knugget]

he sent an email saying if he recieved the payment and he also gave me an EMS confirmation number

[kit99bar]

same I got my EMS tracking number

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and same for me...

nate you let him wash and hem your jeans right? maybe that's why it takes longer

[beautiful_FrEaK]

so...as most good the info about shipping. start ASAP or wait the few days till 1/1/2011?

I know that it will be very hard for me to not put those on

[nate]

I actually took everyone's advice and asked Yuichi to leave them unwashed. haha I emailed him last night and he got back to me right away apologizing for the lag because he's behind on hemming a lot of orders. Finally got my EMS tho!

I'm down for 1/1/11 if everybody else is. I'll be starting a couple days late if that's the case because I'm home for the holidays and didn't have them shipped here. But it's all good in the hood.

Btw, merry xmas eve or merry xmas guys

[Obbigood]

I'm excited to wear it as early as possible too

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Ok...in the end it doesn't m tter if some guys start 3 days or one week earlier than others. So I'm fine that everyone starts when he wants to.

Good to hear that Yuichi is busy with orders. It's a tough time in Japan right now.

Merry Christmas everybody!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Latest news from Yuichi. Two persons haven't paid so far but that's no problem as Yuichi said.

I will start soaking and wearing these ASAP. But for now my package is still at the custom office in Frankfurt airport

[kit99bar]

Does the EMS site update pretty regularly? Mine has the last update as departing Japan on the 24th.

[mikecch]

^ Updates within 2 to 3 hours of last parcel scan in my experience, although I've had once when absolutely nothing showed up until delivery was completed.

[nate]

I've been getting updates as they happen. It looks like my jeans arrived at my post office in LA yesterday and should be delivered today or tomorrow. But I'm still here in San Francsico til after New Years! SO MUCH WAITING!!

[laxlife1234]

I just paid mine, so they just were sent today!

I probably asked this before or this was asked, but how heavy are these? I don't care for how heavy they are, I am just wondering since I don't remember seeing this.

[mikecch]

^ It says on the backpocket flasher that the denim is 18 oz.

[laxlife1234]

Yeah, I just saw that, that and i just used the translator from yahoo.

[kit99bar]

Mine are in customs now

[beautiful_FrEaK]

my pair left customs this morning and should be on the way to me or to our local custom offive where I have to pick it up (and pay fees)

[nate]

mine were delivered yesterday. 3 days isn't bad at all. has anyone else received theirs? i wish i could be taking pics right now

[Knugget]

What part of LA are you..and did you get hemming? (My tracking number doesn't work/hasn't been activated yet)

[nate]

Mid city 90019. Yeah I got mine hemmed. That's odd tho. From everyone's experiences, EMS sounds pretty inconsistent in terms of tracking. I hope you receive yours soon tho so we can finally see some pics and fits.

[kit99bar]

Knugget, is this the site you are using?

http://tracking.post.japanpost.jp/

mine left customs too;)

@Kit99bar, this is the site I use for tracking

[Knugget]

^ that site works.

i just googled EMS TRACKING and used whatever site pops up. Nothing works, til I used Obbigood's.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My pair is now at a branch of DHL. Hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow. I'm not at home the next days so I hope I'll get them tomorrow.

I want to see pics nate!!!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I've got my pair! Will take some pics.

Now the question. To soak or not to soak right now?!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

S500JX-LR arrived!

Selvage detail on the fly! Very long waistband chainstitch thread

The leather patch (was fvcking thirsty)

The flasher

Fully lined backpockets

Little present

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Pre-soak fit pics:

The fit and measure bigger than I expected them to be. I haven't compared left to right leg if there's a difference in dimension.

Denim has a nice touch to it, but feels thinner than expected. Final judgement not before soak
