Samurai Jeans

[chantheman]

vertical line looks like a seam from leg twisting. is it not?

[Charles]

its not, when the jeans are on its about 2 inches from seam line, as they were spinning in the dryer they were folded flat and they just happened to fade at the creases. both side and both legs, it also fucked up my stacks :\

[Charles]

not trying to be an attention whore,

but im snowed in so i have plenty of time on my hands haha

here is a pic of the line, and some fit pics.

they used to fit like proper 710's now they are baggy like a 501 or something :S ignore my desk clutter,

[aho]

Nothing wrong at all with that fit, I say keep on wearing them! Also, I wouldn't mind too much about that crease...

attention whore? we want to see your jeans D: haha, nice pair of 710s

[dcg]

Did a hot soak and then hot wash of my new S5000CX (inside out, removed before spin cycle, hang dry, etc.), and ended up with the following:

Probably a bit more apparent IRL. I've seen similar marks with indigo jeans, but never to this extent. Is this just leftover starch that'll fade away over time? Can't imagine they could have lost enough dye for this to be fading.

[ssheat]

The fit is really good on you, and the jeans themselves have faded well and look good. As you initially said, that's probably a crease that developed from drying or machine washing and never was ironed out. I have something similar on a few pairs of jeans. I think it adds some character to the pair. Don't worry about it, you can barely see it.

[Charles]

its just a personal insecurity i guess,

another random thing about my jeans is they are missing the leather patch, on a drunken night it somehow got ripped off i plan on wearing them in the future, but i would really like them to be more slim fitting,

here is what they started as, superstakerzzz, they are missing about 3 inches of what they originally had.

lul @ me wearing jordans

and here is the back,

Don't take this the wrong way, but they look waayyyyy better on you now after stretching out...If anything, I'd say stick with a looser fit (maybe a S500? if talking about Samurai's)!

[Charles]

i guess its just a big transition from my apc cures that are sized down 4 to my samurai's that are true to size. the main reason i would like them to be slimmer is im mainly wearing my apc's, and my overall style has become more fitted,

point being s\xs shirts with my sammies just throws the balance off

who knows, im only 18, my body still growing, we will see what happens,

btw thanks for the feedback and rep everyone

i think it's just the jordans killing it haha, aside from that, it looks decent

.

my guess would be maybe friction from being folded up inside out? or something of that manner. just adds to the uniqueness

[chantheman]

jeans look way better now

[dai]

Where can you get these from 2nd?

I saw them on this page. Do you have to buy the jeans in order to get them or is there a way to get them without the jeans?

That was my first thought, but it's definitely more pronounced when you see them in person, and it would be amazing to me if they could have lost so much dye after just an initial soak and wash.

It's not a particularly good look to be honest, and the crotch location doesn't help things. Looks like I spilled something down there. There are similar streaks throughout the jeans, but that's the most obvious.

Any other S5000CX owners experience something similar? I know there aren't a lot of you out there.

Better image:

Hopefully it's just starch and goes away; if not I'll just have to wear the shit out of them until it's not noticeable.

[avonalliv8]

this happened to my 610s when i hot washed them upon purchased. dried them inside out and they had a strange crease/wrinkle. after 9 months or so the lines have only become more pronounced, but i think it adds to the unique character of the jeans

[Jestre]

My Black Knights after several days of wear, post-soak, TTS. They are definitely snug around the thighs, but I'm confident they will stretch out appropriately with regular wear.

funny you should mention that...

my s5000cx did the exact same thing, except not on the top block but on the legs, made me basically stop wearing them for a while...

I don't think it's starch, because I washed them a few times since then to try and get it out- it gets a little less pronounced over time but I'm pretty sure it's not ever going away.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My S710 also had those stains after soaking. I rubbed it off with a brush

Well that sucks. Thanks for the info. It's not awful on the legs, but there's a big spot around the right knee. Odd that it's happened to some pairs of these and not others - farmer and blm14 both said they didn't have any issues. I'll probably try another wash just to see what happens. I take it your extra washes didn't make the situation any worse?

I've seen similar on indigo, but much less noticeable, and was able to rub it off as well. No such luck with these.

Is there any chance that your washing machine had some remnants of bleach in it?

That can happen when you hang dry, instead of having it lied flat

Nah, I don't use bleach. Had just done a load of clothes beforehand and none have similar issues.

Noticed it coming out of the washing machine, so it's not something that occurred during drying.

Could anyone with a pair of sz 33 Black Knights post some pre-soak measurements(of waist)

I'm a 34 in my 710 indigos(lot 10), but they fit roomy in the waist! And there's only a 33 left og th Black Knights, thinking about getting 33!

Would like to know how much they stretch?

Sorry for the lame question, I've searched the thread, but found no good answer!

[riff]

I had that happen with a pair of indigo jeans years ago. Really bummed me out as the marks never went away.

Now, when I wash & tumble dry, I turn the jeans inside-out, and stuff an old polyester blanket down each leg. Keeps the fabric from abrading upon itself.

[stig]

Marw: 33.5 inches prewash, 32 after hot wash, stretched back to prewash pretty quickly

[GQGiant]

hey i got a question for your samurai experts. i have 2 pairs of s5000vx 21oz. they're both lot 12 one is tagged 31x36 and the other is 33x36. when i look at the tabs, the 31x36 have the upside down "A" and the 33x36 has the regular "A." anyone know why?

[selaviso]

[GQGiant]

[erk]

lol....damn i thought it was special.. i just started weraing the 33

hes pulling your leg. jokingly trying to get you to unload your "defective" pair on him.

if I remember correctly the upside down A indicates some sort of special edition...?
