Samurai S5000 owners

[khoiphan92]

Should i wear them while its in hot watter? or just let it sit there itself? And usually how long should it be soaked in hot watter?

i think you have to soak them in really hot water the hotest your tub will go if you want maximum shrinkage. i think youll die in the tub or your nuts would be severely damaged.

i soaked it twice to get all the shrinkage out of the way

I want to size down but dont want it to be really tight. I sorta like the slim jim fit but wish the calf was bigger so my athletic legs would fit in. haha

The s5000vx wont do that to me right?

[khoiphan92]

check throughout the thread of people sizing down. that might help

[eequalsmcbrill]

the s5 isn't a very slim cut.

you should be fine.

[Great Wazu]

Yeah, the s5000's aren't slim -- I sized down one (usually a 32, went for a 31), and they now fit like any other pair of my jeans after shrinkage and stretchage. Size down 2 if you want a slimmer fit, check out the fit pics thread.

So most of you soak yours 2 times? I soaked mine once and started wearing it, now I feel like I should give it another soak. Will that fuck up anything since ive been wearingg it for about 3days now?

Anyone have some sz 30 post soak measurements?

[Guest jeffvyain]

Crossed from Evo, but I sized down 2 on these. These are the old run of 5000s though, and fit probably more like they would if I sized down 1 on the newerish ones. Good luck with them. They last forever, and they feel good. I'm definitely ready for a different fit though.

[khoiphan92]

those are beautiful. more detailed shots would be awesome

jeff, lot 10?

Doesn't his post say old run?

Hi. I'm currently on the samurai 510XX texas. I bought size 30, soaked em, and they were pretty tight. perfect right now tho (3 months of wear). Should i get size 30 on 5000bk? or 29? and is there anywhere i can get it other than blueingreen? (US)

[Guest jeffvyain]

i believe they're lot 9.

You'll be fine. I wore mine for a week before giving them a hot wash and dry, then soaked again to get 'em crunchy and stiff.

so what nudies would compare to samurai's 5000vx lot10?

[beatle]

I second that. Samurai > Nudie. Whatever model.

[lanev0]

Take that back. Fitting wise which one best compares? Also which model fits like the slim jims? Thanks.

You catching hella feelings. I just ask simple questions that you guys might have the answer too and you waste your time writing nonsence when you couldove used that energy to tell me the answer

[khoiphan92]

wouldnt it be straight sven? maybe if you sized down or something in straight svens because the s5000 is straight slim.

i guess that would be the closest but not exactly straight svens have low rise i think and they dont have any hip flair

xpost denim repair thread

i cant believe my s5000's ripped already at the hem disappointed

[beatle]

I don't think they ripped....looks more like fraying from rubbing on the heel of your boots and ? or walking on them....quite common , and I would'nt repair this..

Beauty of evolution...

[beatle]
