[exhausted]

my s0500 strecthed 2 sizes past tagged,

butwaist on my big usa's has only streched 1 inch

so diffeent denim = diffeent stretch even thou its the same company..

we're talking about raw measurements, not tagged size...

if size 32 started out as 34, it can probably stretch back to 34

you're saying "your" size 32, started out as 34, stretched to 36?

[chambo2008]

s0500 tagged 28 started i 29 shrank to 28 stretched to 30

sam x big started 30 shrank to 29 stretched to (tight 30)

s5000bk tagged 28 at 31 no wash yet

clearer for you

My 27 s5000vx measure over a 30 waist after the stretch and I think there's a little more in it. Over 2 inches in stretch.

[champion666]

my girlfriend just bought me a pair of s0500xx Lot 11 in size 29 and the waist measures to be 28 presoak. The BIG site says they are supposed to measure 31 presoak. I contacted Gordon to see what's going on, maybe I have a mistagged pair or something. I have owned the PBJ 007 in a 29 with no problem and I can't even get the top two buttons of these jeans buttoned.

yea sounds like a mistagged pair. dont try and soak and wear them. just return them and get a different size.

Relating to the question above about stretching.. I recently had a relative buy me a pair of s5000vx in a size 35. My true waist being 35.. would they stretch out to be too large? or should i size down to a 34?

thanks.

I'm really tempted by the Black Knights! What to do?

I just got my pair of S710xx2nd. Does anybody have faded pics? The denim on these look a lot less slubby from another pair of sams with texas cotton I had before.

If you wanna buy them buy them..

i think there are a few posts regarding s710x2nd wear and one post with some fades, search them up, they are pretty deep in the thread

Here are my 710xx2nd. I haven't taken new pictures for these in two or three months, so they're a bit outdated, but it's the best I have for now. I posted these same pictures a while back too, so it might be familiar to some.

Two soaks, about 3-4 months of wear

[Pi-tol]

Those are sweet Acquisition X.

Here is a cross post on the Sammys that I'm be working out.

The weave on the 2nd collabs is more regular, but still use the Texas cotton.

Quick update on my 710s. Lost count of months since I wore them on and off; around 10 months of wear? Just had second hot wash yesterday and a few soaks previously.

[was ist los?]

I'm with you chan, but I do like calling them sams.

Thanks for the words and rep everyone.

so about 9 months now, i feel i got almost no fades this winter.

still worn every day since august 12th, washed whenever i felt like, no more then once a month.

had to repair the back pocket, hand sewed the corner and put a patch on the inside, where i keep my cell phone and chap stick. can't really tell in the picture.

taken in daylight, almost exact color in person.

last time, these have been sitting in my room for the last 3 months while im wearing my apc's i have also lost weight so they dont fit right

dont know why i am not wearing the 19oz during the winter but w\e

consider these retired untill my tiny body grows

also this line bugged the shit out of me, i put them in the dryer once and they faded where they creased :S

3rd pic best color,
