Samurai S5000 owners

[john11f]

yep. got mine...

[hahnstch]

me too.. yay

[beefcake]

i envy you guys SO much right now :-|

I'm expecting a billion pics in every angle and close ups of everything, once recieved!!

oh and if someone's a 30 or 31, and it doesn't fit, i'll be right here. (actually i know it won't fit you, you might aswell not unpack it and send it to me at once)

[horriblyjollyjinx]

NOoooo, I want to buy a 30! I'm afraid that my 29's may be too small.

[beefcake]

thats ok HJJ, i just read the measurements and i'll take care of that 29 for you the 29 might even be a tad larger in the waist than my eternal tigers (W30) were in the beginning. perfect. now go to mcdonalds and eat a couple of Big Tasties!

[tangerine]

You guys ordered direct from Samurai, yes? Anyone know when BiG will be getting their shipment?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

BIG said end of JULY which seems weird, but maybe it is a time zone/time travel/parsely sage rosemary thing.

:confused:

[vivaloschet]

I ordered my 5000bk from 2nd and I got my tracking number yesterday. My jeans just left Aichi prefecture.

[mizanation]

i'm gonna wait till BiG gets them. hopefully, they will get them sooner than the end of july....

[senor_fusion]

gordon said they'll be recieving their shipment 'later this month', so i'd assume sometime around aug 20 or later?

[mizanation]

depends on when samurai ships the shipment out.... hopefully sooner than later.

[greentea]

me too.....

[vivaloschet]

My jeans have now left the "inward office of exchange" in San Francisco. I should have them either tomorrow or monday!

[hahnstch]

^ do you open the tracking link every 5 minutes interval?

[vivaloschet]

What do you care if I do it every 1 minute? What's it to you?

I just got this from Gordon:

"In response to inquiries about the S5000BK. Samurai confirmed shipment from Japan on August 10th to Blue In Green. We should receive the by the beginning of next week. Mailorder purchases will be shipped out asap."

[hahnstch]

What do you care if I do it every 1 minute? What's it to you?

because i open mine every 30 seconds. just kidding man

[tangerine]

If you leave the window open, and just hit refresh, it's faster.

good news. looks like i'll be rocking the BK's just in time for fall.

[john11f]

is BIG's allocation part of the 400 pairs to be made?

[greentea]

hey john can you post some pics of the fit, as soon as youre able. thanks! =)

[senor_fusion]

everyone's dying for some jean porn john, make that shit happen quick.

please, of course. with sugar on top.

[john11f]

i'm sure horriblyjinx will be obliged to do it for us. i just don't take good pictures.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

I should get mine on monday or tuesday, I'm not sure if I will be home when they come to my house though, so it might get delayed by a day. Will get pics.

[lilbucu]

how much was the grand total for the S5000BKs? ordering directly or through big? are they the same price as the s5000vx?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

lilbucu, i'm ashamed that i don't know what the total came to... will let you know when i determine this. the jeans made it through customs and is in the philadelphia post office to be delivered to me today. surprised how quiet this thread has been.

new s5000bk owners-------are you machine washing warm or doing a soak in the master's style? results? comments? concerns?

hahah, im glad i'm not the only one reading superdenim this early in the day (5am over here in seattle)

[denimdestroyedmylife]

just got them! RAAAAAAAH!

didn't open the box yet...

[john11f]

pics please!

[denimdestroyedmylife]

hmmm.. will take pics at home-----in about 4 hours.

notes:

-the stitching is three different black tones: gray (inseam stitching and elsewhere), jet black (bartacked belt loops and the chainstitching on the yoke), and a reddish black (arcuate and the tops of the back pockets)

-very slubby, we know this, but there are some really BIG slubs, like ants crawling up your leg

-tagged 30 measures 15" across the back of the waist band pre-soak (!!!); lucky that i am between 29 and 30

-came with a sticker

whoa------just tried them on (presoak) and they are tight! not much ball-room. difficult (impossible?) to button the fly. i am afraid to warm wash them. may have to just do a luke-warm soak in the master's style. good luck HJJ and others who may have sized down.
