Samurai Jeans

[Knugget]

I dunno. I doubt they would make such a careless error. Maybe.....they wanted to misspell? Some historical thing none of us know? (Like the upside A) Either way, what's done is done and there is a batch of misspelled tags.

[rnrswitch]

^^^^ Very likely.

[fre-co]

While I could really care less about the typos (I kinda like them), but it is rather weird that these pop up all the time on Japanese clothing. Not just typos but flat out wrong sayings. And it does seem like this could just be alleviated by hiring one gringo or english speaking dude to double check stuff.

On the other hand my wife always laughs at bad japanese on signs in europe or the US and western clothing that has japanese on it and peoples 'japanese' tattoos.

(Like the upside A)

what exactly is the significance of the upside down "A" on the tag. out of curiosity.

[chantheman]

i think limited editions get an upside down A

[dino might]

^yep. thats how it works.

*figured this would be more appropriate here than in superconfessional or something- finally lost enough weight (and then some) to fit comfortably back in my 710s!! great morning revelation

I always laugh at americans who have zero Japanese culture but go crazy with the Japanese designs on their tattoos. It's pretty funny and I assume something like 50% of the tattoos don't mean what they think they mean.

hey just wondering on the s710 what's the difference between lot 10 and lot 11? thanks

haha for sure - theyre like "this tattoo means love". I think i've seen like 5 or 6 different kanji tattooed on people that supposedly mean "love"

found this picture from a while back - this was a few months into wearing my 500xxs. contrast is a little high, but i edited it a long ass time ago and i dont have the original. I love that electric blue they turn in the beginning stages of fading.

EDIT::: i just tossed them in a hot machine wash with rose dr. bronners. covered in dirt sweat and chain grease. and i think there was ketchup on there somewhere. and chili.. .. and a lot of other stuff.

Eh who cares. I think badly spelled English is part of the charm. Besides how many Americans can read or speak Japanese correctly, let alone, English?

So here are my S0510xx after 1 soak, 7 months of wear (almost every day) and 1 wash at 40°

Denim is pretty ripped on the back of the knees and where the turnups used to be. Is this normal after 7 months already? How can I avoid it, should I have soaked them more often to soften the fibres?

[rnrswitch]

I think you're probably gonna get rips on the cuffs no matter what... unavoidable. It's kind of a side effect of being extra cool with rockin cuffs, but getting as much starch out as possible before wearing should eliminate getting tears behind the knees.

Many japanese wash the hell out of their jeans prior to wearing just for this particular reason. You should read how the guy who does the proxy for Japanese items suggests you wash your jeans. It's like a hot soak and then like 2 or 3 warms washes.

I just Cold soak at the beginning and cold handwash every 3 months or so.

Message BiG, that's what I did.

[magneticbeats]

We don't get much nice weather here so thought I'd take some 0500 pics in the British sunshine. Been going about 6 months with two or three washes along the way I think, I lose count.

Any more information on the special "Opeing" day jeans, Edmond?

I see gold buttons, 15oz denim, silk screened pocket bags, and the s0510xx cut.

I'm curious if I could actually get a hold of a pair.

Then my second special Edmond question is. What do you know about lot 12? I know lot 11 relieved the waist sizing issues (Lot 10 waist shrank below waist size, lot 11 shrank to waist size), but is lot 12 back to being larger than tagged waist just like lot 9?

It would be so helpful to know what size to pre order the damn s0510xx 24oz's in! (My lot 10 so510xx's fit great in a size 33).

Once we get all the lot 12 information out in the air that should alleviate some sizing questions people may have. Lot 9, 10, 11, and 12 information should be documented and put straight at the top of the first post.

Someone should get a hold of gimmegimme.

Hey how are those sams that you overdyed?

They looked sick.

[selaviso]

i wear them once in a while... where they are faded before is starting to comeout again but in semi purple. ill post some pics when my bro lets me use his new cam. had to do a little repair by the buttons but cant even tell cuz they are so dark.

[deadlycrayon]

if only i didnt have to pay SE for the chainstitch =\

also, ive been wearin em for a couple weeks already..if i hemmed wouldnt that mess up the stacks that are already in place?

[selaviso]

naw it wont mess em up itll just make them look better. just think about a slinky being cut. the bottom half doesnt affect the top if cut in the middle.
