Samurai S500JX-LR Contest

[chambo2008]

wow congrats to you! its amazing the the back pre soak picture the difference between both leg

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah I noticed that too...one is totally covered in creases, the other is still flat.

The right leg is RHT and the left one is LHT

[Obbigood]

^^good observation

I didnt notice u guys mentioned it, interesting.

[xxhalcyonxx]

Funny how one side is all creases.

But hey, we all know this is going to be a special contest as people who got too many denims and not enough time to break in to them, this contest enables you to do so by having two denims every time you wear it! How awesome is that!

I am expecting different tone of fades on each side but I do hope the whiskers, honey combs, stacks, etc. remain pretty even.

[Pi-tol]

Bfeak, give us some pre-soak measurements on that size 34.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

your wish is my command:

waist: 35

front rise: 11

back rise: 15,375

thigh: 13

knee: just under 10

leg opening: 9

inseam: 38,75

I decided to soak them on 1/1/2011. If you guys want to do it as you receive them, I'm fine

[kit99bar]

The selvage fly and 39 inseam are surprises. Great pics as usual BF!

Trying to share my post-soak fit but my parents' blasted PC is being finicky; go figure. My initial impression of these - beyond how enamored of the ultra-dark (almost black) 2-weave twills - is that I'm very happy I sized up 1. The seem to fit slimmer than my 15oz S0500xx's through the thigh, but wider thru the waist.

They laterally shrunk a lot after a hot soak with ZERO leg twist, which I assume owes the front panels being cut from an opposite weave to the back (???). If so, that tension between the 2 sides of each leg might have also augmented horizontal shrinkage. Vertical shrinkage definitely seems less than typically. I might have even SU2 - sz. 33, if anyone decides their 33 is too big and wants to trade for a 32 - for a fuller leg more to my liking, but the other aspects of these are so dope, I'll be more than content with them as is.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Can't wait to see some pics of all your pairs!

I'm rather certain that I will do 2 initial soaks for major shrinking.

Do you have some pre and post soak measurements so the rest of us can see what to expect?

[laxlife1234]

^2nded, and does the waist fit though? Cause I went TTS and I am concerned the waist will shrink too much now, that's just my only concern.

[kit99bar]

these jeans are shrink to tagged size (aka BF's 34 measures 35 raw). you will be fine.

[Knugget]

I got mine today. Here are pre shrink measurements:

waist: A little under 32.

front rise: 10

back rise: 14.5

thigh: 11.5

leg opening: 8.5

inseam: 33.

[chambo2008]

what was your tagged size 33?

[Knugget]

tagged size 30.

i do hope these don't shrink too much in the inseam...thinking maybe I shoulda asked for 34.

[chantheman]

why have i never known of this thread until today?

[Knugget]

because you spend your time posting pictures of beautiful women. please don't stop.

[Obbigood]

Alright, recieved the jeans. Fit pics up later.

Here are the details, and it is wat I expected, very interesting and even more intrigued to see how it fade...

Parcel from Pirates

Hemmed potion

Closed up of LHT and RHT

The actual leg opening, LHT and RHT

See anything funny?

This is the left leg, which is LHT but the left back pocket is RHT, left yoke is also RHT.

Clearer and bigger version, basically all in vice versa....

Close-up

Really awesome leather patch

[chambo2008]

Very nice pictures their rep when I can

[kit99bar]

damn didn't know they alternated the RHT and LHT like that. These jeans are far more epic than they let on with the preview pics . +rep for the great photos.

[laxlife1234]

WOW THAT WAS FAST. The jeans went out Monday?...it took them 3 DAYS to arrive from JAPAN. UPS Ground in the CONUS is slower... -___-... This is incredible at how fast it took them to arrive, and I was in no way expecting these so it pretty much made my day (shitty morning don't ask). Anyways, I took some pics, I know there are a lot of pics already, but I decided to take them anyways.

Will have a post soak fit once I wash them.

Anyways, here are the pics:

29x36

Selvage coin pocket (WTFFFF?!?!?!)

Here is a pre-soak fit pic:

[almostnice]

happy cuffing,hehe.

[chambo2008]

i was like eh? then just saw the photo's haha

[laxlife1234]

Haha, yeah can you tell they're a bit long? But I just threw then in the wash so they should shrink a bit.

[almostnice]

my contest Fullcounts measured ridiculous 40",it appeared somebody at BIG sended them out before hemming them to the requested 37".3" doublecuffs did the job.

[laxlife1234]

Yeah, well for now I am fine, I am waiting until they come out from the wash where they will probably measure to ~34". I will probably not be cuffing them cause I'm one for stacks.

[xEMBx]

:eek: almost surreal!

[kit99bar]

Aren't they 39 Presoak? Prob won't hit 34 post wash

[laxlife1234]

Nah, they're 29x36 tagged. They may be 39" I didn't double check, but once they come out of the wash and dry ill update with measurements... damn I just realized I forgot to take measurements.

[chambo2008]

my s0500xx, measure 36 after 5months wear around 4 machine wash's

[Biff15]

...those are some great pics, Obi...

+Repped...
