Samurai S5000 owners

[khoiphan92]

yeah like i said its cool and all but i want these to last so to prevent any further damage i just repaired them.

and the stitching is getting ripped too after just one day i think ill just let it fray

[bici]

looking to get my first pair of sammies...set on the s5000vx...now just need help on sizing.

as for me and my preferred fit, i like a slim straight look but def not tight in any way and i typically wear my jeans on my hips. i'm 6' and 140lbs. i don't wash my jeans unless i absoluetly half to (other than a first hot soak for stf).

i wear a 28 in apc ns and while they stretched out a good deal, didn't dig the first few wears waiting for them to stretch out...i will say, they fit perfectly now though but am not sure i want to go through all the ball crunching pain again. i just bought a pair of sz 30 momotaro mvpa02 that shrank to a perfect fit but i haven't worn them that much yet to get an idea of how much they will stretch. i wear a 29 or 30 in all other brands.

so, knowing this, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. i'm torn on getting either a 29 or 30.

thanks all!

[jonle714]

make me a wallet like that?

[khoiphan92]

Sorry

1. I can't

2. It's bxc i just made one for myself because it looked cool.

[drofhiphopology]

Fit Pics Raw.

[khoiphan92]

[eequalsmcbrill]

those will look alot better after a soak

definetly.

can i ask where you got those at, drofhiphopology?

[dino might]

khoiphan, no beef, im just perplexed when i see people carry their wallets that way, sort of seems like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole..

i wear my wallet long ways in cooperation with the shape of the pockets, and even then i hate sitting down and having the ass of my pants jet out with wallet bulge, is keeping it horizontal like that not bothersome?

[khoiphan92]

its not bothersome at all i think it fits very well. and if i didnt put it in this way i think it would shift when i sit down.

if i had a bigger wallet i would put it vertical.

hope i answered your questionnnn sirrrr

[dino might]

yeah, fair enough

[drofhiphopology]

definetly.

can i ask where you got those at, drofhiphopology?

got them from 2nd via proxy.

[drofhiphopology]

does anyone know how the CX will fade if at all?

[le14]

is it me, or does the s5000bk's take FOREVER to break in and start to fade..

must be the black denimezzz

[dino might]

^yeah, sulfur dye is much more stubborn than indigo from what ive heard/seen

[chantheman]

im looking at the measurements for the 5000 in comparison to the 0500 and is the back rise really that much shorter for the 5000? my wierd sized lot 10 0500 already were riding up the back i cant imagine anything shorter for the saie tag size. means i would have to size up?

[khoiphan92]

According to the BiG site its .5" smaller in back rise. It's up to you if you want to size up or not. I wouldn't but thats just me. I don't like a baggy fit.

[soundbomber]

I sized down 3 on my 5000's and they're still slouchy in the seat area, you don't need to worry about ass riding with these unless you're carrying a big load.

[khoiphan92]

or maybe since there have been batches too small or big you accidently sized down? i have no problem of my pants being too high

[tk1o48]

is it cheaper to order the s5000vx's through a proxy or BiG?

nothing against BiG but i think its cheaper to go through a proxy. and theres more upsides like arcs and tabs.

i paid $282 for my samurais including shipping + proxy

thats about that much through BiG but if they charge shipping its more.
