Damn you know Samurai is a good brand when people (b_F especially) are this brand loyal to them

I'm hoping to cop a collab/limited edition pair of samurais for my next jean escapade

[coleslawyum]

Thanks B_F for posting your collection! I love the differences in the blue hues. You definitely got a lot of special pairs there.

Here's a repost of mine from last year.

Found a pic of my s710s from August

[onemind.an]

im guessing those SO130XJ are going to have a #5 weft too then?

B_F and coleslawyum; amazing collections! love the different shades of blue

[chambo2008]

Good stuff the pair off you, I have only 3 pairs of samurai's lol

[beautiful_FrEaK]

3 is a good start

a very nice collab I found yesterday. Unfortunately not available anymore if I understood it correctly

IMO the coolest feature. painted AND hidden arcs! WTF!

[Aloeus]

I'm a true 34.

I'm wearing a sz 32 skulls 5010xx.

I'm wondering if i should size the same on a s710xx? Any advice?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If a size 32 in the Skulls work, a size 32 in the S710 would be more than ok. But expect the Samurai to be less slim.

Alright, I first soaked in teh tub and then washed my new S0510XX in the machine (40°C, no detergent, some salt) and here are the results

S0510XX 34x36 Lot.12

(pre - post)

waist: 34,5" - 32"

front rise: 12" - 11,25"

back rise: 16" - 15,5"

thigh: 14" - 13,5"

knee: 10,25" - 9,875"

leg opening: 9,25" - 8,75"

inseam: 38,5" - 36,5"

I ironed them afterwards. Again unwanted fadings with the wash. This was really the last time I will soak my jeans this way. Nothing serious but it annoys me.

Put them on and no problems buttoning them up. So it's fine.

Fit pics tomorrow

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And the fiit pics. Wore them for approx 3 hours.

[SwedeAlex]

^Great fit on those! I´ve never had the guts to machinewash my jeans, cause of the unwanted wrinkles and fades...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm not really a fan of it too but I wanted these to shrink the maximum. But again light fading marks all over it. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a very gentle washer.

And I hope I can take the prejudice that the S510 is a too baggy and relaxed cut. It's a great classical cut!

good fit mate, the stacking looks realy good with the boots, must spread

[autorotate]

Couple of weeks ago bought a pair of 31x36 S0500xx and wore them in the tub for an hour as hot as I could take it. Top block and thighs were great, but it really slimmed down over my calves. I don't have a powerlifter's lower half, but I am not skinny for sure. Anyway, I felt they were too slim. Bought a pair of S0510xx tonight and already feel confident that these will fit better in the lower half. Did the same this time... bit of salt, hot as I could take it, an hour with some good music and a bottle of wine.

I am so very fortunate to live and work in Tokyo and have Ueno in my backyard for such "adventures". Or am I?

[autorotate]

Would like add... I feel that the "wear in tub and wear to dry" allows more input on waist stretch and overall fit in the top block. I have made special effort to avoid flexing of my knees to avoid bags. Overall, an inexpensive way to spend the night in T-town.

One month update on my S710XXs.

After sizing down one and fearing initially they'd never fit, I think they've stretched out perfectly for a fit that doesn't require a belt on the waist to keep them where I want them, which is nice.

Coming up on 8 months.

Sorry, I'm a full time community college student. Hence the backpack.
