Samurai S5000 owners

[BTT]

Just got the S5000BK in size 31, I'm a true size 31 and hot soaked these for 4.5 hours, dropped down to a 29/30, and it's absolutely killing me. Hopefully these will stretch back out, the thighs and inseam definetly went down a lot which is a good thing. So they will stretch back out hopeefully?

[synthi]

They'll stretch to perfection, especially if you're moderately active while you wear them and not just sitting watching TV etc.

Incidentally I shall be adding my hot soaked W28 model (which measures 30.5" all the way around the inside of the waistband) in marketplace next week, decided I need a smaller size Drop me a PM if interested.

[BTT]

well, they stretched out to perfection like you said, absolutely loving the fit. a hot soak is a must for these.

Actually, you'll probably wish you sized down 1 or 2 after a month.. these bad boys never stop stretching, haha.

Hi there, I have decided to get myself a pair of Samurai s5000vx and I would like a little help on the sizing. I have done a search on this board and cannot find any related posts.

I am a waist 32 and I don't like my jeans to be too tight. I currently wear a pair of Studio D'Artisans SD 103s in waist 34 and after shrinking they fit just how I like them.

What I would like to know is how much shrinkage can I expect on the waist and thigh of the Samurai s5000vx.

Thanks for the help.

Regards

Andy

seems odd you're a size 32 but you say size 34 SD103's fit you fine. I'm not certain, but I think the S5000 is about as slim as SD103.

I normally wear size 30 but sized down to 29 in the s5000vx and they fit fairly slim. That said, if you like the size 34 in SD103, I think 33 would be good fit for the sammies.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

they don't shrink to tag size, at least not the first soak/wash, you should probably get the 32, that's pretty much how it worked out for me.

[BTT]

Never had experience with the SDA, but my S5000VXs are not slim. Actually too baggy for my preference so I usually get a 32 in most other brands (sugarcane, lvc, etc), so I dropped down to a 31 for the 5000s, they were baggy as hell so I hot soaked them. Thats where they raped my waist but after they stretch out (and they will keep stretching), they fit absolutely great.

and theres another thread dedicated on these, so you should check that thread out.

[Tooj]

Exactly how much stretching are we talking about here?

[BTT]

I got a tagsized 31 in the 5000vx's, hot soaked for 3.5 hours and it shrunk to at least a 29/30, and it stretched out back, but at least to a 32 to this time, and I'm guessing it'll get to 33 by the end of this week with consistent wear.

[Dick Danger]

I thought there was already a thread on these.

[mackelface]

Just one quick question I still have after reading through this whole thread. I'm a size 32, and I bought a pair of 31 5000vx. I plan on wearing these a lot, and not washing them for a while. What should I do (hot soak first, cold soak first, no soak first) to be happy with the fit?

hot soak them, they will strech out alot. Intially they will be unbearable and there is a high chance you wont be able to buttom them fully, but eventually when you do get the buttons (needed my friend to pull the belt loops inward to button in), and wait couple hours or a full day wear, they will stretch out. And the fit will be greaaaaaazat

So hot-soaking my 31s right at the start and then wearing them should get me a nice fit at around a 32? Thanks for the help, the only other raw denim I have is the Goughs and a pair of RRs that I love.

[drofhiphopology]

I just got my 5000wx yesterday. gonna wear them raw for a few months. jesus, it's like wearing my normal jeans covered in 300 grit sandpaper. i'm a true 34 and got a 34 which is more like a 35 but fit perfect because I wear them a little low. these don't even really bleed that much on my shoes, basically the best jeans I have ever bought from every aspect.

[stuntastic]

^where did you order from?

Wore my 5000BKs today.

Im a 34 now I guess. Got them in 32.

Hopefully wen I soak later on, the thigh shrinks in a bit.

[BTT]

The thigh does shrink a lot and so does the inseam, thats what most satisfactory about them right now. The fits nice and all, but dropping size 2 down, and if you hot soak them...........your waist is going to get raped for the first couple hours.

[stuntastic]

haha thanks for the heads up.

I wear mine out for a while, then soak. That way, the waist will stretch out just enough. So that wen I do finally soak, it wont shrink beyond raw, but to just about how they were new.

Was there any color change after a hot soak?

[s2kong]

i tried on a pair of 5000's the other day but the inseams were ridiculously long. i know the inseams are about a 38.5 presoak and shrink down to about 36. my inseam length with some stacking/cuffing is at most a 33. will the shape of the jeans look funny if i hem them down that much?

i really like the denim on the samurai's but just wish they came with some shorter inseams. any advice on this or possibly recommend some other type of jeans with similar denim quality?

[khaltire]

How the heck can you guys size down 1 or 2.. I got my true waist and they are so tight in the crotch.. Did you guys measure your hips cause its low rise or your natural waist?

Then again, I have a very small waist and flat stomach so I got a 26 (actually my waist is around 26.5).. but I guess my junk is larger than someone who would have a 26 waist? Thats the only thing I can think of :/

Its annoying and Im thinking of selling

[stuntastic]

Which 5000s did you get?

BKs run larger than the other models, hence me being able to size down two sizes. I couldve gotten a 30, and stretched them out to a 31(which I was able to wear without trouble,) but Kiya got to it first.

[khaltire]

I actually was talking about S5000VX... I thought they were the same in terms of sizing? If not, is it SO differnet that you need to size down 2? I guess it doesnt really matter, Im not gonna get a pair, its just Im suprised that Im the only one who cant fit comfortably into my natural waist in the 5000vx.. weird

Nope not any noticable or significant color change but good luck on these.

[drofhiphopology]

stuntastic - ordered mine from SelfE.

Yea, the sizing at the waist is different.

In the VX model I was a true 34, but in the BK Im able to size down a good amount.

really? i thought 's5000' specifies the cut, while the 'vx' vs 'bk' specifies the denim used.

sammy's site has identical measurements for both models (bottom of these pages):

[fallen angels]

i think every pair differs a little, even if its supposed to be the same cut. i've tried on a size 31 5000bk that fit snug but good, and i also tried a size 32 5000wx which i thought was way too snug.

[tec761]

ok... read this whole thing and im still hella confused.

my true waist size is a 35 (measured with a construction tape measure). In sugar canes I am pretty happy with 34.

What shoudl I get in Samurai?

oh i have kind of big thighs i guess. and I really dont want the legs to be too tight

thanks

[synthi]

It's been well documented already that with the S5000 model size down one for true fit, down two for a snug fit. And btw that's not the rule across Samurai jeans, most shrink down to tag just like your canes.
