Samurai Jeans

[gannonyu]

15oz s710xx & 2nd collab.

5' 10", 160lbs

TTS (32w), fit is comfortably slim. overall very pleased, especially because arcs and tabs are intact!

[kit99bar]

seeing the white tab has done it, I'm ordering the S0500 texas cotton, one size down from my S710 size. Crossing fingers they still have lot 12 in stock!

repost from SQT:

You have taken care always. It is the well shoal of second. Remittance thank you. Being able to point to payment verification, because it received, don't you think? you can point to communication!! Then as soon as preparation to be possible, you dispatch. After, please wait for arrival in the pleasure (the ^^ Being able to point to effort quick, the kindness and politeness as a motto even from now on, because it receives, 2ND (second) also in the future we ask may. The impoliteness it does.

^ email from 2nd after sending the payment through invoice, is any further emails to them required? the broken english is kinda throwin me off

[kit99bar]

last year from 2nd I was charged 3650 yen total for shipping.

From Sharp this year it's 4550 yen. anyone else have this?

[chambo2008]

^^^ which model did you get from 2nd and which form hide?

[kit99bar]

2nd: s710: 24990 + 3650

Hide: s0500xx: 24990 + 4550

^^^ which model did you get from 2nd and which form hide?

[gonegonegone]

well, the 710s are heavier. i had to pay more for the shipping of the 710s too compared to the 0500s.

[chambo2008]

yea 15oz vs 19oz makes sense

[phillistine]

:confused:If the 710's are heavier, then why is he getting charged more for the lighter 0500's?

At kitt99bar: I ordered 0500's from Yuichi at Pirates, and he only charged me 1332 yen for shipping after a 40% discount from 2220. I had mine hemmed, though, but I doubt it would make such a big difference in shipping charges.

[chambo2008]

i haven't a clueyou should get disscount from hide aswell??

[gonegonegone]

lol sorry, i just flipped through your post.

btw, yuichi offered me a 40% discounts on both the 710 and the 0500 as well. so the cheapest way to get samurai jeans is probably via kaizoku pirates right now.

[chambo2008]

shoque, what was the total for you 710's including shipping in dollars?

[gonegonegone]

I paid approximately 310 USD.

[chambo2008]

couple of months really don't keep track... btw s0500xx

did you have to contact them about the 710's since they arent listed on the site??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah, you have to contact him anyways because I assume you order them from overseas

[gonegonegone]

yeah, they have a lot of models they don't list on the website.

[andrewisdope]

wow, if i knew they were discounting the 710 on pirates I would have ordered from them instead of 2nd just a couple days ago.

[gonegonegone]

sorry about the misunderstanding, the pirates give you 40 off of ems shipping, not the jeans.

[enojy]

wow, if i knew they were discounting the 710 on pirates I would have ordered from them instead of 2nd just a couple days ago.

You'll get over it. I just spent $325 on some 0500's and ONE day later, someone pops up in the supermarket with a week old pair in my size for $175.

[halberdklown]

idiot post of the week

[darkness2505]

he meant 40% off of SHIPPING.

[halberdklown]

^damn i feel like an idiot, apologies!

[halberdklown]

Its sad to see they took out the arcs and tab before Samurai could bring into fruition my dream of the 710 in zero denim

[tab3076]

I'm a little confused about pre and post wash, what's the point of soaking jeans before wearing them exactly? I never did this with my skulls or apc and they both turned out really well.

I wore a size 31 tagged (32" actual) of Skull 5507s, so I should get the exact same size for Sams S0500XX - correct?

you soak to get rid of the starch. if yr skulls were a one-wash it's obviously not relevant. if you like jeans that feel like cardboard then go for it!

i have a tagged 32 in 5507 and a 32 in S5000VX. there's not much in it (even though the 5000 isn't tapered and the zero denim stretches quite a bit). the sams are a bit roomier but i'd imagine the 0500 would be pretty close to the 5507

[Chromekilla]

people also do it to get shrinkage out of the way before they set anything. I don't know about skulls, but that's generally not done on apc's since they are sanforized and don't shrink much.

[SLAB]

ah, I received my pair of 0500 from Yuichi last week (superfast shipping and 40% discount on the shipping) Pirates is very much recommended. His current stock still has mostly red tabs and arcs but whatever he has to order now will come without arcs and with white tab so act fast!

Will do my first wash tomorrow to remove most of the shrinkage :-)

[salaami]

forreal if you don't know about why to soak or not, you shouldn't be spending $300 on jeans anyway. no offense. S510xx evo pics in evo thread.

i'll be shopping for some new jeans in tokyo the first week of may. very interested to see what is available at that time (in terms of tabs, arcs, etc.)

i am of course aware that i am gambling by not ordering ahead, but i am willing to see what i can get. the fact that i generally wear a 32 and that is one of the most common sizes is something that i have considered. are the 2nd and pirates brick and mortar shops in tokyo? i was thinking of going there in addition to americaya.
