Samurai S5000 owners

[alleyooptroop]

Thats true, but those are not washed by Samurai or even samurai.

so did bears do the one wash?

[hollaforadolla]

i just got my sams s5000bk this morning from 2nd. ultra fast shipping! i think i ordered it two days ago. funny how things arrive from japan faster than they do from other states. i decided to document the measurements pre and post soak for my size 26. stay tuned.

assumedly, they're just pictures for the person to know what might happen if they did did one wash on their own. i think they sell it no wash.

yay, shrunk my sammys from w31 to w28 (thx again alleyooptroop) btw how long did everybody's sammy's stay stiff?? My sammys went from being stiff after a soak to soft in only 2 days :confused:

Yeah, mine softened up a lot in one or two wearings. They also stretched out a lot in subsequent wearings.

everyone knows the color of these are impossible to capture correctly. but these do have some serious fading going on....just hot washed and dried them on hot in the dryer w/o any soap last week as they stretched an ungodly amount.

been wearing these off and on since around august or so. But most of my time is spent on the samurai contest jeans.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

both your samurais are very nice. I really want to start wearing my bks.

[justinbaily21]

What do you do to get so much wear into your jeans? Biking?

[dave023]

That's some serious fading Poly...:eek:

[tangerine]

Those are coming along great, poly

[viv1984viv]

Errr yeah, same sentiment from me two, everytime you post em I feel I ought to wear mine more, gotta get em hemmed and start living in em. Amazing pics poly, I feel those are on par with those "amazing black faded jeans" that keep being posted! Poly your great x

[No -]

My 8hr/day-office-job-fade can't compare

[deadpan]

2 months wear. about 5 hot soaks (soaking now). No wash yet.

[erbs]

Do the S5000bk run the same as the vx? I wear a 33 in the s5000vx and I'm thinking about getting a pair of bk's, so should I get a size 33?

[beatle]

Same size....

[JBee]

looking good deadpan

still gotta wear mine (ex yours) in earnest yet, finishing off these damn 47s first....

[denimdestroyedmylife]

jesus, poly, those black sams are unreal!

i was beginning to feel proud of my progress, but fuggit, i'm not gonna post 'em for another 6 months or so

damn!

same here. got to have mine hemmed to a 34 inseam first before i get serious on breaking them in. i have some creases and honeycombs however but nothing to brag about. great work poly, considering you have the shoai's and the samurai contest jeans to work on.

the edo ai's are making progress though but i'm not sure if it's worth washing already. natural indigo is just soooo stubborn...

[deadpan]

You think that's scary...I hang dry them like that in a doorway to my bedroom...the first few times I did it I woke up in the middle of the night, wondering what the fuck the silhouette was that was swaying from side to side slowly in the dark :eek:

[LaiShin]

I think this should be the place to pop this question...

S3000VX is the exact same thing to S5000VX (in terms of fit/cut and denim), but only difference is in the LHT?

[Dick Danger]

no

,./?][{})@

[rainmaker]

Are most of you guys sagging your sams? Or wearing it at the "natural" point? My sams are stretching more than I'd like..

[deadpan]

anyone seen this yet?

^ oops my bad...been away for a while...will now hide my head in shame

[deadpan]

Been taking alot of pics today so thought i'd do some more of my sams with a more correct colour cast. 2 Months wear.

[Guest jeffvyain]

wow. incredible wear at 2 months.

i got tired of writing papers for a few minutes and thought i'd take a break making porn. so here's a couple highlights of my 5000s.

[ironXcrayon]

wow do these usually wear this fast?

[Guest jeffvyain]

not for pussies like me. mine are coming up on 9 months old.
