Samurai Jeans

[heprof]

Here's shot of my S0510, which may have the same fit. I'm about 30" waist and got 30" for these. Waist started tight and loosened up--couldn't avoid hip flare but overall very comfortable:

nice fit and nice evo..plus - like the boots...

[GQGiant]

nice fit man.. yeah i don't plan on washing them ever.. just super cold soaks, assuming that the waist will stretch

[weinfeld]

Hey guys, I have a quick question for you all.

I just ordered a pair of 710 19oz and when I put them in my tub for a hot soak the things just didn't shrink at all. We're talking a two to three centimeters at most. Given that, should I throw them in my washer for a hot wash? I need to get these hemmed (there is no way that I can a 36 leg) but I want to get all the shrinkage out first. By the way, the waist is still a little large so I am not too worried about that...

Thanks so much.

you can either boiling soak or put in a hot wash (take it out before the spin cycle). Both should get most of the shrinkage out.

PS my lot 12 710s only shrunk an inch in the waist after a several soaks and a boiling soak but the rest of the jean shrank a lot.

They look bootcut on you

[VY Canis Majoris]

I finally got 'em! They are simply beautiful. I went TTS, and they are actually pretty snug in the waist, but I was able to button all the buttons without much effort, so that's a good sign.

I had a dream about them and they were 81/105. Pretty close eh?

This looks so nice in person, my terrible camera does not do it justice.

Standing on cardboard because it is raining.

I'll definitely wear them lower in future, but they need to relax a little first.

So, what do you guys think of the fit?

[chambo2008]

best fit so far

[Satya]

@the_ming

it looks like a bootcut on you

@VY

nice fit! +rep

[jackandcoke]

anyone got pics of tapered 710s?

[Knife Killjoy]

Got my black knights friday 76/101 love them so far.

Post soak fit

[inthemix_]

Daaamn! Nice everyone.. now I wish I had a pair.

But anyways, I soaked my 5000bk's yesterday, and the patch got meeeeesed up! Haha, in a good way . I'll post a pic after they're done drying.

[erk]

anyone got pics of tapered 710s?

Aren't 710s already tapered?

[Satya]

^^

I think skinny what he meant...

[Stacks]

VY only one with a great fit so far in my opinion, although kiljoy's looks even better but the angles are fucked.

ming, what's the deal with the giant crease running up the back of your left leg? I got a similar crease when I put a pair in the dryer one time, but it was off to the side more and took fucking forever to come out.

Mine arrived in the mail while I was back home for thanksgiving so I'll post up after I get back tomorrow.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

in this thread is a pic of someone who tapered his 710 even more...just looks through the pages

[edmond]

thats pathetic just get april 77 instead

[trident01]

Post Soak...

not sure if they are too slim or not... i came home drunk last night and tried them on and thought they were too a bit too big so i soaked them again and threw them in the dryer.. not sure if i regret it or not

[geneticdrifter]

@trident

i think they look good, but i don't know your steez.

[echau]

trident01, that fit rocks!

Im just not feeling the specialness of the Black Knights

[arcanum]

its all about the legendary 19oz black samurai denim

[appfaff]

Im just not feeling the specialness of the Black Knights

deadstock 2008 Bk denim. limited run. Great fading opportunities for a black denim.

well, from what I've gathered from my little knowledge about Black Knights

[Pi-tol]

Guess I have to sit back and wait for those great fades to start rolling in after a few months of wear by some of our fellow members.

[Satya]

@trident

that fit... just... perfect...

you must spread some reputation before giving it to trident again

[Potsnu]

Nice fit VY and Trident

The_Ming, your fit looks like my S5000BK. They seem a bit too lose all around.

Ahhh mine won't be shipped out until Tuesday =(

40/101 is drying from the initial soak as we speak.

Initial thoughts, this denim is sick, much sicker than all other black denim I've had before. During the soak they turned the water pitch black with minimal agitation. As they dry, I noticed this crazy horizontal effect that I've never seen on jeans before, it looks like RHT but it's not.
