Samurai Jeans

[ThePerennial]

I love the fact that samurai's inseams are long. My legs are very long and the 38 inseam is perfect for me, but I'm aware that if (and when) I get a pair and do an initial hot soak to get some shrinkage over with, the inseam will shrink. By how many inches will the inseam shrink?

[selaviso]

close to 36

The inseam shrinks max to 36. how tall are you? im 6.5 feet ( 2 meters ), and mine are definetly long enough

Dunno if this has been posted yet (don't kill me if it has) but samurai has a page that shows pix submitted from customers of wear:

gave my 710's a soak yesterday, I really love how the fit after a soak! Really wish they would fit like that for ever

[Superstar]

This thread really needs some action...

I see a lot of sizing questions, but no real picture-deals or sweet detail shots...

Where's to love for the denim gone?

i know some ppl hav done this...was wondering how much did it cost to have denim doctors taper s5000bk's or any pair of jeans in general?

[opethrapture]

^^

I believe it was about 50 bucks!!

[toufu]

more like 30-40

[rmc]

how did u tell them how much to taper since its kinda hard to see the fit before u taper them? do they just taper to what they see as appropriate?

i'm guessing you just tell them what you want your hem to be and they taper a specified point downwards (ie. knee down).

on another note, does anyone know how much the hem on a pair of s710xx 19oz (or similar denim) will shrink after a hot soak?

how much do these stretch in the waist/thigh?

thanks

x-post from wawyt. reallly thinking about tapering, they really look like bell bottoms,

[santos]

I was just wondering which Samurai model has the skinnier fit. The Samurai 15oz S0500XX or the Samurai 19oz S710XX. I have really skinny legs and am trying to achieve a skinny fit (I am sizing down 2). Thanks.

the S710xx is skinner... i don't have these myself, but the thread here does not recommend sizing down 2. and i quote...

Additional Sizing Info (courtesy of dino might!)

710- true to waist size for nice, manly, slim/straight silhouette (HIGHEST RECOMMENDED METHOD). one down if you have more of a skinnier-than-average-build (model chic). two only if youre nuts and want skintight 19oz jeans to hold you up when youre tired of standing on your own (SERIOUSLY NOT RECOMMENDED) (this all based on the lot 10/tagged size=raw waist size jeans) ***ATTN: SUFU FASHIONISTAS- IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A SKINNY FASHION FORWARD SLOUCHY JEAN TO WEAR WITH YOUR SWEET HIGHTOPS AND LAYERED RO FISHNET TANKS THIS IS NOT THE JEAN FOR YOU*** (neither are any other samurais for that matter..)

[enojy]

dino might's sizing information is spot on, do not go against it. but, with "really skinny" legs, 710XX might not be the cut for you -- it's not THAT slim, it's just slim by samurai's standards. alas, it is the slimmest samurai currently offers. the 0500XX is similar but i believe it has a higher rise, slightly fuller hip/thigh, and more taper.

[nifu]

really? the s0500xx has more taper than the s710xx? i was comparing two pairs

s710xx size 32 (actual waist 33) -- hem was 8", knee 9"

s0500xx size 31 (actual waist 33) -- hem was 8.25", knee 9"

this is from BiG, but maybe this isn't how you determine taper?

[emmitbrown]

We need either a Samurai sizing thread, or people need to ask these questions in the "How do jeans fit..." thread.

COTTON DUCK...Please help.

cosigned. can people not read anymore?

departing from the sizing advice isn't a death sentence for your fit. it's right on for someone of average build (because it's advice for everybody). my 710s (lot 10) came out to be sized down 1.5 - 2" and fit great, but i'm tall and have thin legs. i'll post fit pics in a bit.

and i was under the impression that 710s are more or less tapered 510s with different denim

[cpendletonsays]

size 31 710, ~8 or 9 months. salaryman wear for the past 4...

i'm 6'2" 170 lbs for reference
