Samurai 510XX 21OZ

[AsherC]

has anyone got these yet? BIG and 2nd seem to be selling them but not samurai's site

also do they still have the back pocket stitching? and what kind of waist shrinkage can be expected?

[tomenugen]

they've been delayed.

[edmond]

hey yeah theyve been delayed to i think august . i have have to wait mine till then..

Hey I since I am new here I dont fully understand rakuten and was wondering in order to order these could I ask someone to buy them for me and I pay them some kind charge plus the bill amount.

If i did start a rakuten account (its free right?) it would be the first time I would use rakutan and since I am 16 I would only be able to use a western union thing wait ill post the link, could I use this to order from Japan

the thing is i will be in NY and i know i can go to BiG but to pay 330+tax = 355 when in Japan it would cost 250+shipping = 300(tops)

Erm...I was in BIG last week and he's got a sample on him of the 21oz denim from sam. It was only a wallet sized piece but it felt great-really SUPER slubby, and nothing like the SDA 21oz at all-totally samurai:cool:

you should PM xcoldricex i think he's doing that sort of thing

[Microblaster]

Hey any update on these? BiG says that delivery of these will take place in early May so I don't think we will have to wait until August, optimistically speaking I would say July latest even if they get delayed a little while longer.

I am desperately looking to see how these fit, I have measured the jeans and seen a folded pair and stuff but I want to see how they look like with someone wearing them.

[edmond]

i think it will still be in august..

[deadpan]

^Yeah i've been told july/august too

[AsherC]

how quickly do the limited edition samurais (like these) get sold out, i dont really want to get a pair until september will they still be available then?

[edmond]

they would go fast.. its just easy to predict the fit on these cause theyre basically the 510xx fit with a 21 oz denim material.. jesus christ why would you have to wait for people to have it before buying? check out the s510xx 15 oz or 19 oz on the how do jeans fit thread and youll know how these would fit... better pre order now i did mine 1 month 2 months ago...

[beatle]

I 've asked Toshiko....no more available through Samurai...already sold out...

Maybe you'll get luckt through rakuten...

I'm sure someone on here will have had the good sense (and $ortune) to pre order a couple of pairs, and will therefore sell you a pair for...let's say start the bidding at....$1000...

[AsherC]

wow i better sort out my order quickly, hope 2nd stilll have some 28's

[fadeaway]

Just got the email from 2nd. These are in the mail.

[rnrswitch]

Does this mean that BIG is getting theirs in soon as well? BIG made it seem like they were getting first crack at them.

[beatle]

These should be getting out soon..Toshiko said that they are produced...if I am not mistaken , June 18th was official start...

[edmond]

Just got the email from 2nd. These are in the mail.

thats cool can you post pictures when they arrive? thanks man!

[indigo_junkie]

Didn't you order these as well, Edmond? Did you get an email as well? Damn, I just bought a pair of PBJ-007 2 weeks ago and a pair of KMW 1980 off the context sale just yesterday. These 510s were not supposed to come out until August. 2nd hasn't mentioned anything on their site about these jeans being in. Man... what to do... if it's available in store, they'll be all gone in a few weeks. I just KNOW there are procrastinators out there like me who will only pull the trigger on a pair of jeans they see others wearing it (and never do pre-purchase). As soon as people start getting theirs, there's going to be a bull rush for whatever's remaining. And there's that natural indigo version as well... What a dilehmma! My credit card is cowering in my wallet as we speak.

[edmond]

hi mate i pre ordered mine last february... stil no email or watsoever yet.. but hoping soon.. i just want to see some here whop already has one want to know how the denim feels very very curious..

[fadeaway]

thats cool can you post pictures when they arrive? thanks man!

Yeah of course I can post pics. Tracking says they left Japan so they should clear customs in a day or two. I will also have something else to post tomorrow that might be interesting.

[toronto_demin]

I had a friend in Japan order for me to ship as a gift to avoid charges, but I have not tracking info since I am not the purchaser. Has 2nd started to ship the 21oz yet? If so when have you guys started to recieve them?

Thanks

Mine is at the post office. I'll post pics in the morning.

[toronto_demin]

I asked them to hem them 2" maybe that will push me to the back of the line. Damn I have been waiting for so long. Naturally I doubt I can wear them till fall, but I am gonna do a photo exhibit of my stuff and the only thing I'm missing is unsoaked.

i hate you

[rnrswitch]

I ordered mine through BIG a couple months ago and they have them in, but they didn't get size 30W, which happens to be my size... Lame. They are suppose to find out when they are coming.

[toronto_demin]

When they arrive at big, what do they look like, do they cut off the tag as the rumour goes?

[indigo_junkie]

No rumour. I think it's even mentioned on their site that they cannot sell the jeans with the tab and arcs intact.

[edmond]

can you tell them at big that when you pick up your jeans there that they take the arc and tabs off in front of you? hehe

[toronto_demin]

so why do people buy from them? kinda like buying a benz without the logo on it?
