I like the S0110XJ best from the Jins series but have yet to own a pair. I'm sure I will fill this gap anytime Well the denim on the Jins is something else with heavy horizontal fading potential. Or you could take a look at the S0110XJII which uses a new 17oz LHT denim which should be closer to the original Lee denim (disregarding the weight)

I thin one thing that has hold me off the Jins so far is the back pocket placement, which are rather far apart as it has to bee on a Leepro

Thanks!

X Post - Detail Shots on my S5000VX 21oz.

Been interested reading the comments on the 24oz denim, and I'm wondering if you guys will have the same problem as I have found with the 21oz. The problem being that the legs seem to get a little shorter with every wash/ soak, I could double cuff no problem after the initial wash, but now I can just squeeze in a little single cuff.......odd. I dont think I'm getting taller.

Denim that shrinks...hmm I never heard that before

I like you, you're funny, yet stupid. Good combo, + rep.

[edmond]

yes true my 21 oz s5000vx the one that won 3rd place on the t5 contest keeps shrinking so i rarely wash them

[rob j cole]

First impressions of the raw enim. I will soak them in a few hours. But will ttake pics before.

1. The denim has a unique texture (at least to me). Now, it feels like a grating, as if you could feel every single warp thread and inbetween there's a gap. That will surely change after the soak when the fabric tightens up. Maybe Oni or PBJ also feel this way but I haven't handeld those yet

2. The color: there are so many, many different shades of blue on it. Overall the color is lighter than my other pairs but maybe the soak will change that.

To be continued...

Hey b_F

the denim of my PBJ AI01 looks as slubby as the OGSP denim, but I bet that the sam. denim is stiffer.

I would be able to post some macro pics of the AI denim, if you would like to compare these too. .

PS. I've already posted a photo of the boots in shoe thread, weeks ago. PM me if you would like to have further informations.

It could also be that after the wash, they got tighter so they don't sit as low on your hips, effectively making them shorter.

Sorry for the extra late 6 month mark update! Honestly...I didn't even take update photos of the 5th month mark because not much has happened between then and now. But I did quite a lot between the 4th and 5th months. Sculpture classes were really intense, haha

The color is "true" or at least, close to the actual color. Perhaps a tad darker in the lighter parts because of dirt, but that's about it.

The honeycombs are beginning to develop and become more prominent!

Backpocket...I still need to find some replacement cloth, haha.

Thanks for looking!

Which sam's have contrast arcs? I've seen some with yellow arcs and some with blue arcs

[aratzev]

Hi guys

Just tried my new 710...and find that they sit really tight in waist.

So will pre-soak make them soft? Because if its not I dont want to soak them...I think shrinkage will kill me.

how does a pre-soak make anything soft? pre-soak means they haven't touched water yet. and no, not soaking them will not make them softer. even soaking will not make them softer. they are likely to shrink even more after a hot/cold soak. sounds like you've got yourself a pair thats too small. my suggestion is to trade them up for a bigger size. you'll be happier that way. you do realise that you've got to wash your jeans someday dont you? they shrink quite a lot in the wash.

[aratzev]

Thank you for tough true, ran)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^definately size up!

Which sam's have contrast arcs? I've seen some with yellow arcs and some with blue arcs

well nearly all Samuai models have contrast arcs. S710XX and S510XX19oz feature black arcs and also all models from Lot.13 (last year production) feature black arcs. There are 1 or 2 models having dark blue arcs

[chantheman]

should i be concerned with the pocket becoming unraveling

[slash2ice]

^ shouldn't be much of a problem unless it unravels more, then you can always sow it for a quick fix

which samurai cut is the most flattering for a skinny build guy?

[Wolfteeth]

which samurai cut is the most flattering for a skinny build guy?

S710BK 17Oz! They may actually even come out one day

[laxlife1234]

Probably 710, although I am a hell of a skinny guy (5'6", 125lbs) and I can pull off straight leg fits pretty well.

[SNg]

I think Samurai 610 and the s003jp are among Samurai's slimmest cuts. The 710 is, by far, the more popular of the slim fits although it isn't quite as tapered as the 610 or the 003s.

[chantheman]

if you like the low rise the 610 would be my choice

[shinobi2000]

if you end up with 003 go TTS, I was afraid it would be too skinny and I sized up. Regretting it now

[saintkeat]

I placed my order for 003-A going by post wash measurements it should be TTS, fingers crossed.

Thanks B_F for the help!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

my pleasure

looking forward to the pics!

Although my last wash was two weeks ago, my jeans got dirty again and I decided to do a handwash outside. It's a beautiful day in NY!

Not a cloud in the sky!!
