Samurai Jeans

s5000's sizing 2 down true waist = slim fit

true fit for 710 is good

the first page of this Samurai thread is all you really need..

and also 2nd rakuten is cheaper than BiG and you get arcs (if the jeans dont have them, the japanese version does) and the red tabs (like levi jeans)

[40ozprophet]

size down 1 on the 5000s, you'll love it.

[Logikal Retro]

Wow, thanks so much for the quick replies!

I've been studying the first page pretty much for the past few hours now, haha!

I'm leaning towards the 710s, just want to make sure they're not going to be too skinny of a jean. If my waist is 33, am I right to go with a 35 for indigo and 34 for 33 in the BK version?? (Leaning towards the BK and judging that off of BIG's sizing)

Edit: I'm sorry to every body with such knowledge for all the "noob" questions. Should I take sagging into consideration when measuring my waist. I do like to sag a little bit below where the jeans usually sit. Thanks again!

How does one order from Rakuten?

if your waist is 33, go for a 33 in the 710s. the waist is 35 when raw, and then after soak it goes down to ~33.

[Knugget]

You contact a proxy. Or just e-mail 2nd. I say go with 0500 or 5000, especially if you have big thighs.

SELLING 610s!!! the jeans are just too loose. they may look alright, but they feel too big.

going to make a FS thread soon.

Does Take5 ship to the US?

[edmond]

hell yes of course

ok got my s710bk's in. i have about an inch of room in the thighs and can button all but the top button Pre-soak. i'm going for a slimmer fit with these so i sized down 1. i know sams are supposed to stretch a good amount. i was going to do a warm soak with me wearing them. and i plan on not washing them ever as they would be too small in the waist after a wash. so does that sound like a good plan? only do soaks with me wearing them so the waist wont be too small? they fit good everywhere but the waist.

The Take 5 x Samurai collab looks sick.

Can you give us some more info on that Edmond and also if they are still in stock[or even released I dunno].

I'd like to order a pair!

[AK47AZ]

edmond, is that you on the left

I ordered my s710's (lot 10) in the same size as my FH f310's and just got them in today. I plan on hot soaking them for a couple hours as they are very loose and was wondering if i'll be able to get a full inch of shrinkage through the legs. Throw them in the dryer maybe after my soak? I plan on putting something in the waist as it's already fairly tight so I'm not too concerned about them being too small post soak.

That's not Edmond. Those are silly drawings of the owner of Take5 and Samurai respectively on the patch. Probably one of the coolest patches I've seen yet.

s710xx stretch quite a bit in my experience. Went from a 26 and they are now sitting comfortably at a 29, and could go more if I went belt-less. A soak with the hottest tap water you can get is a good initial start. But I would advise from doing the dryer because you'd lose the feeling of the rough and hard texture.

[tintinsonson]

will definitely visit take 5 again this year... my 5000vx are getting tighter and tighter on me, they don't seem like streching out at all... mine are w28...

thanks for the words of wisdom, I wouldn't mind 2-3" stretch in the waist over some time as they are prett tight now so that's good.

As for the dryer, I remember in the old Samurai thread (my uncle just filled me in on this since he'd done it on his 0500's after I got him hooked on dry denim) but people were soaking then tumble drying for a while to get maximum shrinkage and then getting them wet again to drip dry. End results should be very similar if not identical to a simple soak but with the extra shrinkage from the dryer.

What does eddy do again? Work at take 5? Own 2nd?

i want that job.

[skistar]

pretty sure he said something about building structures...

[Dick Danger]

like a brick shithouse....or a bridge?

[Logikal Retro]

So before I go ahead with an order...

I measured my waist at where my shorts usually sit. I tend to sag my jeans a little lower but I feel like that in the beginning I will wear the jeans where I wear my shorts and after they stretch a little, I'll sag a little more.

That came out to a 33."

For the Indigo S710, 35?

For the Black S710, 34?

Thanks again and I'm sorry for all the stupid questions, it's just that I want them to fit perfectly.

[flex_flEx]

no, get them in your true size or even size down 1 they will stretch

Here is a quote from Edmond in the "How many pairs of jeans do you own?" thread,

"yep dm is right im into construction/design/ consultation and female shoes/bags retail ( my fiance designs them )"

Hey, Logikal Retro, stop ignoring everyone's advice. TRUE TO SIZE! Both a 34 and 35 would be huge! TRUE TO SIZE. DENIM STRETCHES.

[please underestimate]

those sammies x t5 collab are fucken awesome.

how do i contact take5 if i wanna cop a pair?

I apologize. I thought true to size would mean POST SOAK.

So, if I go with a 33 (or 32 - which do people recommend?), they'll be fine post-soak? Thanks!

I'm not going with the BK's. Going with regular Indigo. I don't want super tight jeans. I just want a nice slim fit with a little (not baggy at all) breathing room to spare. I have a muscular body and quite big thighs. Super skinny + big legs isn't a good look IMO. Won't 32's go to a 30 after a soak? My waist is a 33....????

Edit: For the S710's, is there a diff. when ordering via BIG and a proxy from Rakuten? Both look like the arcs on the back aren't there.

[Dick Danger]

give up........
