alright guys, time to throw in the towel for me, i bought the sv5000 21oz tagged sized 31x36 and warm soaked them. they shrank but then i stretched them out to where i can barely button the top button and is tight everywhere =( i wore them for a day and i don't think i can keep wearing these anymore. i'm thinking i should've gonetS or sized down one. I measured my hip and is a about 33. So, I'm going to be selling these ones and getting a bigger size. which would you guys recommend? OH and i have kinda big upper thigh as well.

I"m giving them a hot soak so i can give you guys an accurate measurement, if anyone is interested feel free to email ([email protected]) or pm me. These have been warm soaked, worn for a day, and now being hot soaked, incase anyone is wondering about the "wear." I paid around 380 delivered from BAS via Rakuten,I have all the original tags and stuff. I know i'm going to sell at a lose but i'm open to reasonable offers. thanks -will provide pics when dry

Terrible "vato" fit pic

size 34 sized up one 5'10 210lbs

[geneticdrifter]

Damn, do all the "vatos" in plano have knee high stacks? lol brings new meaning to "doe boy fresh." +rep

[Alex3000]

once they've been soaked and don't feel like cardboard knee stacks will be gone.

[selaviso]

hem those beasts.

[itschrisb]

good fit but definitely need to hem them or at least cuff them.

[Alex3000]

Well those are crunchy fresh out of the box , post soak pictures tomorrow I'm planning on letting the 36" inseam be.

[Stacks]

yes leave them be, the shins will clear up on their own.

[Potsnu]

Arggh still waiting patiently for my jeans!

[VY Canis Majoris]

I would leave them like that too, dig the stacks.

[Mr. Potato]

Not enough of Samurai Yamamoto around here. Here's my size 30 S001JP worn for about 3 weeks. Sized down 2 on these, which I wouldn't really recommend.

Even though it's an S5000 cut, with the exact same measurements, the denim shrinks a lot more and stretches less than my S5000CX after the initial hot wash. Didn't really account for the shrinkage measurements, but I could barely get my legs into the jeans at all (like I am actually wearing jeans 2 sizes too small), unlike my experience with the zero denim of the same size.

A lot of manual pulling and overnight stretching involved after the first wash until I got the fit like in the picture. Other than the crotch/thighs and kneecaps, hasn't really stretched anywhere else since.

if you want to get that slim fit, you should get S003JP instead, just IMHO...

[Mr. Potato]

The S003JP was definitely under consideration, though wasn't sure if the tapering would work for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with how it looks now. Cold wash all the way from now on.

[itschrisb]

I think the fit looks good honestly

edit: nothing to see here!

I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to achieve a slim fit. It's just that zero denim stretches like crazy and he was trying to accommodate for that, plus the crazy hip flare the S5000 cut is known for

hey guys i got some s5000vx 21oz up for sale in the market http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?p=2077729#post2077729

[finalfire]

just wondering if i want to hem my samurais, will it make a big difference if i get a professional chain stitching machine or just hem it myself with a regular sewing machine.

[blm14]

depends. If you want roping at the hems then you should get them chainstitched.

[Satya]

^^

hai ben, I dont really believe in roping effect in the hem is only appear if the hem got chainstitch on them, because I saw many jeans that not chainstitched, and still have a nice roping effect... cheers....

[Goldfish]

Where can I get one of these? Pic taken from earlier in the thread...

Also, anyone know where to get a pair of Sam Tan Corduroys with arcs/tab in w34? BiG doesn't even have my size, but I would like to get a pair from japan with arcs/tab. Rakuten gave me nothing.
