Samurai S5000 CX

[gimmegimme]

^^ Thanks for the inflo. I guess you can add D-Stock to the won't-ship-list.

BTW - expected to ship sometime in June from 2nd

[wingnutsglory]

But I thought Rakuten wasn't a store itself, its like yahoo shopping...just the overhead to several stores. I'm confused now. :confused:

yeah...sorry. i meant superrag on rakuten.

[poly800rock]

i just read you can fade these? would like to see what color these turn out as.

[Tenchi]

Isn't sulfur that yellow rock that smells like rotten eggs?

Its hydrogen sulfide that smells.

otherwise sulfur should be very faint smelling

[braid]

wtf!! i just got these in the mail today and they're a tannish greenish color...wtf, i thought they're supposed to be gray. do they become gray after soak or something?

[hollaforadolla]

ummm.......

[LaiShin]

lol

It has always been that colour. Time to change your monitor.

[polishmike]

Braidkid, props for pulling the trigger on those. I wasn't sure what color they would be and they looked just too much like chinos. Please report back after the soak and take some pics.

[braid]

umm, is this the twilight zone? the s5000cx on the first page are gray, these s5000cx's aren't.

i ordered these....

they look pretty gray here

[drapygo]

wtf... lol, they're suppose to be grey. maybe in sunlight it'll be grey!

[braid]

they must turn grey after soak is my guess....

[polishmike]

I would think so. Maybe email Samurai and ask?

[Chponglasia]

That is VERY weird. They are clearly gray on every website. Anyone have any clue what's up??

For what it's worth Brainkid, the color you have is definitely wearable...

[drapygo]

I say wear them to shit, and then wash. And picture of fit please, been wanting a pair of grey denim.

[indigo_junkie]

Oh WTF?!?! I was going to pass on these because of that "too grey" colour. Now I find out that they're more of a greeny-tan colour instead!?!?! Damn. Going to have to re-think these ones.

[braid]

well, they're not for me, but for a friend rather. I'm not so sure he's going to want the tan color so these may be for sale in a day or two....

i'll let you know.

[justinbaily21]

Uh... To me they have always looked like a yellowish chino and not the least bit gray. Thank you for buying them braid! Get to busting those in.

[wingnutsglory]

man, i've seen these on many websites (of course, the pics all came from sam), and they've looked grey each time. lame.

wait...they're grey in most of the pictures, but there are a couple at the bottom that might not be...

anybody read Japanese? the google translation doesn't make much sense...

ok...on d-stock's website (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://item.rakuten.co.jp/d-stock/s5000cx/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=5&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dsamurai%2Bs5000cx%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DjjT), these are described as being made from the same denim as the S041CP, which is clearly not grey, but tan. uhhh...khaki samurais?

[braid]

talk about false advertising!!

anyway, can someone please translate what the "color" says on this tag...

[Pandemonium]

it says indigo.

[braid]

it says indigo.

it does? i thought indigo was blue though?

[justinbaily21]

I think that it is an overdyed sulpher with the same properties as indigo. That should fade in a very interesting way. Whomever uses it should keep us updated.

[wingnutsglory]

Seems to me that from all of the adds, these should be grey. However, the ones I received look pretty tan to me...

What I ordered:

What I got:

I saw some reference to sulphur overdye, which I didn't quite understand given the pictures on the store site. Are these actually dyed with sulphur? Will they somehow become the grey shown in the pictures after soaking?

[poly800rock]

i think they should become darker with a soak, but i have no idea. look at it this way, it's not like you really can return them?

[wingnutsglory]

Yeah, can't do that. But I could post them to SuperMarket if there's no chance of them changing color...

I emailed Samurai to ask.

Maybe it really has to do with the soak ??
