Sorry, just noticed the colours are screwed up. They looked correct in PS. The colours should be somewhere between 3 and the other pictures.

[Quinnskimo]

little different white balance. the blues, of course, look different under different lighting.

[chantheman]

oni patchwork..great stuff

[opethrapture]

Amazing Onis!

[chantheman]

they arent onis...

[khoiphan92]

he probably got confused and mistakenly typed onis.

can you imagine the horror it would be if he were serious? MASS NEG REP oh noes

im kidding of course. if you think im serious

[enojy]

these are all among the best pictures of denim i've ever seen...

i meant to quote the one of the tab & rivet but i've already gone too far, no going back now.

in fact, do you still have a higher resolution copy of that image? that's just a great picture.

[beatle]

Best zero denim evo ever.... !!!!!!

[opethrapture]

Amazing Onis!

they arent onis...

Haha, I was in a hurry when I checked sufu before leaving for work, so I just assumed they were Onis because of the patch.

Correction, Amazing Samurais

[please underestimate]

if i wear a 28 in most denim. what size should i go for the s5000vx 21oz?

i heard its a lot slimmer than the 17oz. version.

[Quinnskimo]

i've got larger photos, but they're not the best quality. that was hand held in low-ish light. pm though if you really feel like you want em.

zero denim is definitely the greatest stuff on the planet.

yeah either theyre slimmer or dont stretch nearly as much, had to sell mine. so either way, id get a 28 or 27, not a 26.

while were mentioning oni, they wont exist much longer for an indefinite period of time. the guy who does them doesnt want to anymore/cant

[Guest patchmb]

^Too much goin on with those jeans for my tastes but at least you didn't start another fuckin thread for these jeans like you did for those sugar canes. Which , by the way was completely unnecessary .

[chantheman]

what are the measurements on those?

[Pauken4]

I've read a ton and I'm still confused about sizing. I could use some help.

What size should I buy I want a new pair of S5000Vx's to be between 33.5 and 34" in the waist after shrinking and stretching?

[chantheman]

33 will work

[mikesduc]

Hi Pauken, FWIW I wear a 32 in the 5000 and it fits perfectly. A 33 will stretch out too much for you. My 32's are right at 34now. BTW thanks sooooo

much for selling the 1293's. I literally will not be buying jeans for several years now since I got these. Mike

Hey Guys,

I just ordered a pair of S5000vx in tagged 29s. If I want to get the shrinkage out of the way before I start wearing them, I read that I should do a hot soak for four hours and then toss them in the dryer. Will this cause significant indigo loss? And I thought you were not supposed to use a dryer for jeans because it ruins them?

Dryers are very abrasive, but on the cotton thread only. You lose the indigo in the wash. Do the hot soak for sure, but skip the dryer and let them hang dry.

Good choice on the S5000s tho. Great jeans.

[chantheman]

hot wash take out before cpin cycle, 4 hours is too long for a soak anyway. dryer or no dryer whatever your preference, but the wash is better than just a soak

if they dont fit let me know thats my size

this is good advice.

you definitely wont get all the shrink out with a hot soak.

with a hot wash you can skip the dryer, which is a good thing.

[blm14]

i didnt even know this thread existed! +rep for bumping it.

[khoiphan92]

i miss my vx's

but these bks are awesome! i am wearing them to my job and they will definitely going to get some real wear.

[dawei69]

Or you a do a overnight soak... just leave it there for 8-10 hours... this way works as well! you'll get pretty much all the shrinkage out in one go

[chambo2008]

does it really need 8 - 10 hours? seems a bit extreme

just put them in the washing machine on 60 and they are done in a hour, hang dry for a couple of hour's, wear damp.

works every time

yes, it would be extreme if you check up on it every 10mins, like what most people will probably do....

but do it just before bed, then when you wake up, they are done...

[erk]

the hot wash only takes like 10-20 minutes...then you hang them.

And i dont know about you guys, but my samurais take waaay longer then a couple hours to dry. Its more like all day.
