Samurai Jeans

[salaami]

i think nogami hit a goldmine with the 710 cut. they seem to be very popular lately.

Samurai Yamato jeans are up on BiG now.

The patch is especially awesome:

^^patch is dope, the stitching is laced with that silver lame throughout the entire jean. Pockets are triple stitched for reinforcement with a bunch of other really cool details the only one I personally don't like is the outer selvedge coin pocket. The cut is pretty much the VX cut although I felt it was just a smidge bigger.

i need answer for this question

is the Samurai 50510 10thYR anniv series that BIG sell is the one that with hidden arcs?

Because, i know that BIG have some issues with their samurai jeans and his Arcs in US.

[Hulk]

[dnm_dnmz]

Hey I have a question. How do hidden arcs work? Do all sams from BiG have hidden arcs on them?

hidden arcs are newer, i think they debuted with the BiG samurai "USA" model. I haven't checked them out in person but it appears to be a lined pocket with a chainstitched samurai arc underneath it, so when the indigo dye fades away, the hidden arc will leave an impression.

indeed

they are really fun.

cosign... I actually like the effect a lot.

[.API.]

hidden arcs are sewn into pocket liner between denim and outer pocket. looks like pretty heavy yarn chainstitched possibly might be wire woven in. good idea of faded look here:

speaking of hidden arcs, i have a pair of sz 32 (lot 11) new with tags attached for sale if anyones interested. damn be me i forgot to ask 2nd what lot and just assumed it was 10.

The chart on the first page says for a slim fit size down 1 on the S0500, anyone here can vouch for that?

[chantheman]

read the previous posts or get the fuck out with that question

[grouse_allergy]

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

I don't think these look like bell bottoms at all. Maybe it's just the picture, though.

Those new Yamato jeans are niiice..

[poly800rock]

i'm cool with the new pocket designs, but that exposed coin pocket selvedge kills it for me. if that's the future of samurai, i don't want in anymore.

[arem]

^Really, you think it's that big a deal that you wouldn't wear Samurai anymore? Considering that 90% of the time your shirt/sweater/jacket covers the coin pocket, and that it's a barely noticeable detail even when it shows, it seems like a big deal over nothing.

No, it's a pretty big deal. I think it looks really bad.

New arcs are bothering me less, though. I think that was more just getting over the shock of the change. Exposed selvage is a no-go for me.

[salaami]

im with poly on this one, well, sort of. i hate exposed coinpocket selvage, so much so that if the ''perfect'' jean had everything going for it, except that shit, id still not cop/rock. to me, its the first sign that shits going towards the selvage beast side of things. like, 'hey, these are selvage, buy into this cool trend. from what i know( please correct if wrong) vintage jeans had coinpocket selvage, but not on the outside. i like how the selvage just peaks out from where the denim is folded prior to sewing. selvage on the outside, apart from a cuff is a big no-no. but i wont boycott nogami-san altogether. what up poly!!! what is your current project, the PRPS?

[hooploops]

I was thinking about getting some 710xx, but I'm having a bit of trouble deciding what size I should get. My waist is about 30.5 and I wanted a slim fit.

Thanks in advance.

30 for slim, make sure the measurements check out before you buy. check the OP. the sizing advice we have for samurai jeans is about the most accurate shit around here.

sounds like a 30 should do it.

[poly800rock]

i have 2 in rotation now. my custom ande whall grifters and my s5000bk's i've been wearing a while.

710's from the new BIG shipment. 38.5 inseam hot soak shrunk to only 38. Sending back to have 5 inches lopped off. Nice to have a pair with a little higher rise than my 500's or 103's

[poly800rock]

since they were doing it anyways, why didn't they keep with the hidden arcs?

[pennyoka]

^^^The hidden arcs are gone on the new shipment? Man, I knew I shouldn't have waited.

[khoiphan92]

theyre extremely stiff. all of my jeans could do that after their first hot soak
