[Bokkepoot]

are these the infamous 29 inches that you stretched out to 32 or was that someone else on this board? Sadly mine do not have that much progress because winter set in and I started wearing my 24oz. Now with this insane switch to warm weather I'm back to my light weight eternals. I kinda don't want mine to fade anymore because I like the red color.

This weather we are having is INSANE! It was a good 75 degrees out today.. perfect weather, but definitely too warm for sports. Anyways, those elements are looking sweet!

Thanks shinobi2000 and laxlife1234 ...And yes these are size 29 and the measure now about a good 33 inches..

And i have got the chance to buy some wind elements so maybe there willl be more updates from here

[shinobi2000]

that is insane!! my 29s have stretched out to 31 and that's about the limit for me. How were you not in pain the entire time?

[Bokkepoot]

When i got them they where already stretched out to about 31.5 inches..

The guy before me who wore them had a waist of 33 inches so he stretched the *** out of it

Guess thats just the abitility of these Sammie's and how much pain you want to endure

[shinobi2000]

i was wondering when someone was going to mention those! So what's the full story on those? They dyed it with all 5 colors? How is the 634 cut different from the other s5000 cuts in the series? From the looks of it in the pics, it just looks black. Anybody seen it up close?

[spidereye]

Those are the final chapter of go rin no sho...assuming is the total mix of the element..the cut also diff ,this particular model came with suspender button and cinch back..crotch rivet and yes the color is darker ..leather patch featuring only one person (musashi) missing kojiro .Waiting for custom approval

you ordered already? is it slimmer or looser than the s5000 cut? concept is interesting but if it's just going to be black i'm not interested

[shinobi2000]

I did something really bad recently...despite not having any need for new jeans, I was mesmerized by the green on the wind model and just HAD to have them....

call me stupid but i never realized this series had gold and silver lined selvage!

fit pics after a hot soak:

and finally a comparison between the waist sizes of my Earths and my new Winds:

Earths are size 29 with very minimal washing. Winds are size 30. I'm a little scared that they are the exact same size now. What's going to happen when I give the Earths a good wash? I might not be able to fit into them anymore

[wasabi]

^ive washed my earths maybe 5 times (damn they will be 2 years in july) and they always stretched back out

[spidereye]

Shinobi2000....Just received my s634gx..Looks like the cut is more to vintage one...rise is 1inch higher than s5000vx. Love it so much want to reshape my waist.The colour is dark blue almost like( momos x context) jeans. , leg opening is also wider. will post pic soon.

Great Purchase and really nice fit

but what exactly is the dye made of? from my understanding it's all 5 models mixed together. Is that true? i can't wait to see how they look on you. I don't think this cut will work on me. The leg opening on the 5000 cut is about the limit of how wide I like my jeans.

[spidereye]

My knowledge about this model also limited....its more like over dying process denim.will take proper measurement ,picture will tell you thousand words...waiting for better pixel camera rather than my crappy phone camera.

[shinobi2000]

Ha, interesting that they made the free bag out of the wind model. Was that the denim they had the most left over I wonder. Post fit pics soon, I wanna see how a 634 fits.

[spidereye]

Yeah wind model are awesome....s634gx is a sworn enemy for skinny cuts. Leg opening is wider almost look like a boot cut sometimes. .will post fit pic soon.
