Samurai Jeans

Yep they look like they could do with a second soak! Looks good as is but will look much better, if your stuck on cuffs or stacks speak to laxlife

Ha, ha, ha...

here post soak void/sky S5000GX-S

so stiff :p:p i like this fit....

[Fincarelli]

Kucai you have achieved a nice silhouette there, pretty slim for a 5000 cut. I like it. Grats on your new jeans.

[huatzai]

^2nd that

How did you sized on em? looks good

[Raining]

I bought a pair of S5000VX a month ago and I've been wearing them everyday for the past 3 weeks or so. I did two initial soaks on them but they have gotten looser around the thigh area. I am thinking about soaking them again but I'm afraid of losing too much indigo and losing the whiskers. Will it be a big problem?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no proble,. a soak won't do any/much harm to your indigo. those aer dyed well! the whiskers will come back

@kucai: like the dark weft and a nice slim fit!

[lilfatsupra]

Raining- I've noticed with my pair of 5000vx's a soak doesn't really do much to the indigo but the thighs get really tight...

fit is good, but it really looks like a s5000 then a s0500

It's funny that you say that, I kinda thought the same thing when I first got these. I had a pair of S0500 a couple of years back and for some reason remembered the legs being slimmer and more tapered than these are.

Wanted to get a few opinions, having difficulty deciding between a pair of SDA-103s and S0500xx. Currently own a pair of 710s, looking for a pair of slightly lighter weight. Anybody own a pair of both and want to share opinions? Thanks.

[Guest nooblet333]

Lookin great thinfinn! no-homo

[kit99bar]

I have a s0500 and s0500jx in the same size. The s0500jx is definitely not the same cut.

people in the sda thread will say sda, and people in the samurai thread will say samurai, so im staying with the trend the s0500 is a very popular cut with great denim i own a pair, great jeans.

i would look at your 710s if your liking the craftsmanship and denim go with another pair of sammies if you haven't been satisfied with your sammies try the sda's

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and I would say, take both. simple as that

[Alex3000]

Anyone ever try the 634xx cut?

[hiyo]

Just ordered the S5000GX-T, hope they fit and somewhat slim!

I like this response the best!

[emergencyflowers]

i own both, IMHO:

Cut-wise:

103 is a lower back rise

0500 has a little more room in the thighs

0500 tapers a little more below the knee

0500 slightly more anti-fit in the ass

Denim:

103 is hairy, no slub, tight weave, doesn't stretch much, and a VERY slow fader

0500 texas cotton stretches out more, slubby, fades much faster

[frzn]

s003jp's just came in

sized up and wanting to hot soak. need opinion on whether i should soak. the rise is pretty high already

i think i will though. opinions?

[guiltybyassociation]

i'm finding it hard to break in these Black Knights. anyone else feel the same?

[Alex3000]

I felt that mine faded kinda quick, then again I was biking 10 miles a day in em.

Frzn - You're going to have to soak them sometime, might as well do it at the start so you know whether you like the fit or not, then you can still fetch a good price selling them.

I have a pair of the GX-K and I think they fit a bit slim. Of course, I gave mine a hot wash and tumble dry on high heat, so I probably got them to shrink more than most.

If you try them on and think they're too loose, I'd recommend doing the same, maybe even twice. You'll probably be able to get a fit you like.
