Samurai Jeans

uhhhh....sizing up would also cause blowouts. people with soundbomber status jeans have blow outs also. no hate on soundbomber but some people can't pull it off.

how long does it usually take for the waist to stretch to its maximum size? i've been wearing my 710BKs for about two weeks now and theyve stretched a little, but not enough to be completely comfortable. i'm beginning to get scared that theyll never stretch out enough. IF thats the case, is there any way to force it to stretch out more?

[itsmedeka]

Soak the waist and stretch out manually, I usually stick the heel of my foot on one side and pull the other with my hands. I've gotten a pair of 710xx to stretch a full inch and a half before, fuck the whole uncomfortable/bruised hips break in period

For unsanforized denim, a lot of initial shrinkage usually means a lot of eventual stretch. 710bk denim doesn't shrink THAT much initially (mine about 1" in the waist), so it doesn't really stretch out that much either, in my experience at least. If you want to stretch them more you might want to consider soaking them again and stretching them while they're still wet. I've never tried it on the waist but it might work.

Anyone know where to find these still in stock ? And what model Jin's they are exactly ?

Ok quick shots of my 5000vxs. Will take propper shots when I get back from South America.

I use this. I marked it at my waist size, and use it on all my denim every time I wash. Never have to worry about buttoning after a wash. Plus it's as seen on TV.

I bought mine on eBay though. Easier transaction.

Itsmedeka they are s0210xj from 2007. I managed to get a pair of w33 from 2nd but they have long sold out. This is the only pair i could find.

Ok heres an update on my sams. I was unsure about the sizing presoak of my s5000vx, but after two hot soaks, I don't mind the fit at all. What do y'all think?

PRE-SOAK

POST SOAK

Doing the two things I love the most: Lax and wearing Jeans

[Knugget]

maybe get a litte hem so that cuff isn't so huge and thick.

[sayocean]

yep planning on it, but I don't really mind the double cuff too much

[thecrisisofimperialorder]

thats probably waht my sammies will look like after the soaks...not really digging the cuff. how does it look without it?

[sayocean]

w/out the cuffs, it measures around 34 inches and stacks sloppily due to the hem being pretty "straight" and not tapered. Got any pictures thecrisis?

[thecrisisofimperialorder]

nah, i dont have any pictures. my jeans havent been soaked or anything. can you take pics without the cuff? lol

[sayocean]

sure, will have pictures tomorrow though. Gotta redo the cuffs cause its pretty obvious that its making it look like a bootcut below the knees. FML

[CJsmalls]

sayocean, looks good, thats a really ideal fit on the 5000s imo, and suits ur body type. i think the hem ur planning to do is necessary and will help it out tons

[was ist los?]

4 months, 2 soaks

[sayocean]

I just noticed that on the coin pocket of my s5000vx, you could see the selvage poking out at the sides. I've never seen this done on any of my other jeans and was wondering if anyone else's samurai's have this going on. Is this a common "feature" of a sam?

[Knugget]

it's on my fullcounts.

miz talks about the peeking selvage in his thread.

[itsmedeka]

Got the same thing going on with my s710xx2nd and s5000cx.

[mr.invincible]

^ yes, in miz thread he talks about the peeking selvage. i think it's an intentional "mistake" if i remember correctly.

samurais fade fast..

[rome1]

2nd 710's size 32 hot wash/hot dry post fit pics.

[Planet Mental]

is that TTS?

[mr.invincible]

good question, i want to know myself. that's a good fit, rome!

[rome1]

yeah I went true size on these unlike the 19oz 710's I have where I sized up one because of all of the sizing/shrinking dilemma going on at the time. got the fit spot on with this pair. Not sure if I'm gonna hem these or not...wanna let the denim settle first then I'll see.

[halberdklown]

hey Rome1 think you can post measurements of those?

[rome1]

the measurements are exactly the same as itsmedeka posted a little while back that's why I didn't put them up. The only measurement that would be different would be the leg opening which shrank down to 7.5. They do seem a little slimmer than the 19oz model, but thats kinda what I wanted anyways.

[trailer36]

If you dont mind me asking rome1, what was the total cost of those shipped from 2nd? also, assuming you also own the 19oz, how much lighter and breathable is the 15oz?

[rome1]

290 shipped... there is a noticeable difference in the denim. not much in terms of breathability but overall weight. Funny thing is the BigBoss (pres of samurai) himself autographed the pocket bags of these and numbered them. There's also some crazy seal/stamp thing from samurai on the other pocket bag. I don't know if its on all of them but it was a nice surprise indeed...I'll throw pics up tomorrow.

[halberdklown]

He's doing that forthe first hundred or so I believe
