how much do s710s shrink all around after a soak?

[An Oxymoron]

man BiG ships fast. wasn't supposed to get these til monday!

Anyway, here's a fit-pic pre-soak. They feel pretty good, but I don't know how much they'll shrink so i'm hesitant to even soak them, incase i decide to exchange for something else.

I'm 6'0, 147lbs, and these are a sz. 29 s710

They will stretch back to pre-shrink measurements, and probably more. I would probably soak them.

[GupNasty]

^Oh man, I thought that was your post-soak fit. Right now it looks really really good, what I would expect at postsoak, but they might shrink a bit too much after you wash them.

[An Oxymoron]

Yeah i'm nervous to soak because once I do I can't send them back. But I like my jeans skinny/snug and supposedly this heavy denim stretches quite a bit....ffffff im an indecisive girl

[GupNasty]

From my s710 experience, the stretching was very minimal, but I guess I had a less tight pre-soak fit from you. My cousin on the other hand no longer wears his 710s because they're too tight for him. I guess it really varies. Here are my pre-soak/post-soak fits (size 28, lot 12, hemmed to 34"):

screw it. like somebody told me earlier this week, there would be no superfuture without impulse decisions.

did you get those hemmed? whats the inseam measurement?

[An Oxymoron]

no i just got them in the mail today. inseam is 38.75 according to BiG

[vitasoy]

why you guys gotta post topless pics mang..

[david_c]

That's how mine fit post soak. If you like that fit, you can exchange them for a size 30, asking them to find a 30 that measures on the small end

The waist will stretch past the raw measurement. Not so sure about the thighs, though. They will shrink about .5" from the raw measurement in the thighs and probably won't stretch much, so I guess it depends on how tight you like your jeans in the thigh area.

[andrewisdope]

Oxymoron,

those are too tight if you ask me. the fit looks really good the way it is. I have some 710s and they slowly shrink and stay that way over several washes. i think those will be uncomfortable a few months down the line

[An Oxymoron]

Haha too late... I already warm soaked them and am now wearing them a bit damp til they dry completely. I think these will work out nicely...i like my jeans tighter than most people i guess.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^always funny when people ask for opinions and then do the opposite from what they've been told

I would have exchangd them for a 30 and would have soaked and washed them really hot. would give you a great slim fit and no need for worries. people still have to realize that a soak wont give you full shrinkage, a (or 3) machine wash will do it.

so you pre-soak fit was really great. I'm sure your post soak fit is still wearable though. But wait for the first real wash.

as someone said, stretching in the thigh area is hard to get and if you need a bit of stretch there, the fit looks mostly not too good.

heres a pic of one from the local forums that i visit. dude is asian btw.

LOCAL FORUM?! MEANING S003-JP IN SINGAPORE?!??!?:eek:

IMO i like your fit. if i was bigger enough in size that would be great fit for me that i really love.

my sz 28 are less slimmer than your fit.

[louisbosco]

yes, not a big deal really..

surprising to me. i mean with normal sams. yeah thats fine you know. 0500,510,710 etc.

quite surprise with 003. considering that a few weeks back.

Nother update. Little more than 10 months and the crotch is still strong.

I'm looking for help buying Samurai jeans from e2nd.net.

The inseam listed on the measurement chart is 36in. Is this pre soak or post soak? I use google translate and it says 'washed table' but I want to make sure....

[An Oxymoron]

Why don't you just buy from Blue in green? Save yourself the trouble of translating.

[rkusmant]

I plan to do that , but they're out of my size.

I'm looking for either S634-GX or S510XX24oz-L in size 40, but the measurement listed on e2nd doesn't match with BiG's

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the measurement from 2nd are post-wash the official Samurai measurements which tend to be a bit wrong. But I don't find BiG's measurements to be accurate either.

so to your question: 36" is the inseam post-soak

[david_c]

I always try to support BiG. The last time I was there, they measured out at least 4 pairs of the same tagged sized 710's to get me one that fit just right. A lot of these jeans are hand made so they have variability, your chances of getting those averaged measurements are hit or miss but they'll be close.

[rkusmant]

Thanks b_F
