S5000VX24oz

Mid rise straight leg fit. It uses a 24oz heavy denim (loomstate) which should shrink to a 27ot denim. Samurai used

the 24oz RHT denim first in 2009 on the S510XX24oz and I'm quite positive that this 24oz VX denim uses the same

specification as its XX counterpart.

Measurements

waist: 34 / 33

front rise: 11,5 / 10,75

Your true waist is 35, however many of your jeans are shrunk down to 33 and 32. Does this mean you stretch the waist out to a 35 after wash? Which method of stretching do you use?

It may also have been the case that I have misunderstood something; if that is the case, I give my apologies in advance.

On the other hand, the guide is great and well-documented, and I believe it will be very useful to the Samurai-fans out there, past, present and future.

well...at the point where I wear my jeans, I measure about 35". But fat is very forgiving so I can pull the measureing tape to 32-33" ;)

but you are correct, the jeans stretch out to 34 - 34,5" after long wear. so as I always say, waist is the smallest problem in sizing as it will easily stretch back to pre-soak measurements (although that might be harmful for the denim and the jeans)

Thanks for clearing that up :)

beautiful_FrEaK, what are your top5 samurais?

are there any other tapered, or even slim cuts available, next to the 710?

I found:

S003JP (slim straight)

S0505XX II (slim)

S0710 (tapered)

S526XX (slim)

any experience with the slimmer cuts, except the 710, which you already posted in this thread?

Samurai is not really a brand for slim/skinny cuts except the S003JP.

You could add the S0610LX to the list of the slimmer fits and if you size down, the S0500XX also fits rather slim.

From your posted list I only have experience about the S710XX. And I wouldn't include the S526XX in there

And about the Top5, I'll get back at you later :)
