>>>FS: Samurai 110XJ (Jin), Size 34 (Unworn/Unhemmed)

[heBAY]

Would you want me to remove the other side?

[heBAY]

Well...still available after a long weekend away and a few inquiries...

[Dogfarm]

I love the jeans. Not in the market for them right now, but they are pretty hot stuff. I am unfamiliar with Samurai jeans or the culture around them but why did Gordon tell you to remove the stitching for the right pocket? I don't get it? what happens if you leave it in?

[heBAY]

He said that you would most likely be left with less evidence that there was any stitching there if you soaked post-thread removal...since the first amount of shrinkage would more effectively close up the holes made by stitching. At this point, it wouldn't make much of a difference since I'm sure you could get more shrinkage out of them...so the other pocket isn't doomed to a dreaded "stitching imprint"...but I'll leave that up to the buyer.

[heBAY]

oh my god buy these already bump.

[beatle]

Not that it helps, but I really think that removing 1 pocket stitching does'nt appeal to a lot of ppl....maybe you should just wear them ???

[beatle]

But - a quick reminder of what's possible...

[heBAY]

Thanks Beatle...I certainly wish I could wear them...but they're just a bit too big. I'm going to rebuy these like 1-2 sizes smaller (I was really affraid of the shrinkage at first)...

People have been responsive to this particular pair, some people like the lop-sided back pocket stitching...it's just not in the stars at this point.

[the new gmo]

no doubt these are a sick pair... if only a little smaller... (I bet you feel the same way)

[heBAY]

bump to agree with the above statement.

[andy dufrane]

great jeans.. i have them but do i wear the belt over or under the tag. every morning its a splitting decision

[the new gmo]

after measuring my PBJs, I think these would actually fit me after a hot soak (seeing as I rock my jeans kinda low)

hmmmmmmmm....

[beatle]

Fuck the missing sticthing..most underrated pair of Jeans...

[heBAY]

-Beatle is quite easily my favorite Sufu'er...too bad I was in B-More for the BIG event and missed out on the festivities...esp. being that it was in MY gottdamn city. MINE MINE MINE!!! Best believe this money will go into buying a new pair of Jins...did you happen to see the worn pair in BIG? Some girl who worked at Samurai sent 'em in from Japan after a year or so.

-New Gmo...care to take these jeans off of my hands asap?

[the new gmo]

I got that itch, heBay... I just have to sell my ALD Royals before I can pull the trigger financially... if I get them off my hands, you will be pm'd

[beatle]

Yeah - saw it ....makes me want to have 4 legs to be able to break in more denims at the same time..

Ha - could have met you in Baltimore than - went down there to see the Aquarium...

[heBAY]

Gmo...cool, let me know friend...

Beatle...yea i know...I wish I had four legs to fit into THESE Jins...well...maybe 4 is a bit much, but you get it. That's crazy...you took a mean tour of the eastern U.S. coast (maybe I'm getting my geography fucked up right now)?

[beatle]

Actually - Willmington (Delaware) - Baltimore - Rehoboth and ferry back to Cape May ...

[holeinthewall]

I'm sure you'll be able to shrink it up to 34...maybe even 33. That's what it measured out to...I don't know why lol.

This pair has definitely not been hemmed though...so I guess the soak got all of the inseam shrinkage out the way.

Are you talking about the waist or the inseam shrinking? Would another hot soak make them smaller in the waist?

Will they stretch?

[heBAY]

I was talking about the waist. And yes, the waist can be stretched out a lot (if needed), especially if you sling 'em low.

[heBAY]

and Yes, at this point, they can either tighten up a bit more or or not at the waist...whatever you want...if you want them to shrink up to tagged size (34"), then hot soak em for a good amount of time...if you want to soak them to either stretch the waist or shrink the rest of the jeans except for the waist...then stick a hanger or rod or something to keep the waist stretched (as if it were being worn while soaking).

[holeinthewall]

If they'll stretch and they're currently a 35 I think they'll be too big for a 34 waist.

[heBAY]

No, you're missing the facts of what I'm telling you...they will stretch IF YOU MAKE THEM STRETCH...just like any other pair of raw denim. Naturally, cotton stretches...Sammies are notorious for stretch capabilities...i.e. if you wear them on your hips (which measure larger than your waist), or if you soak them and pull at the waist...such tension will make them stretch over time. To combat that, you just soak them or spot soak and they'll shrink right back.

They are 35" now...but if you want a true 34" waist on these...just hot soak 'em a lil more, as they will definitely shrink to tagged size by the next soak (see my previous post for ways to avoid that).

To close, if you wear ANY pair of jeans lower than your waist, obviously, the waist on them will stretch. It's the nature of the fabric versus the tension from movement at a larger section of your body. To cut down waist stretch, you just have to get a good belt to keep them up on your waist.
