must be a big difference to your size 34 S710

[whozdrew?]

Haha! 12345

must be a big difference to your size 34 S710

actually the waist is exactly the same. the overall fit is quite different, of course. i like both.

[Max Power]

Ah, now I understand. Nice purchase, Atzec and cool fit. I found the 510 fit is not made for me, but it suits you.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah a lot of hipflare on your long and thin frame (especially legs) that's why the 0500 and 5000 look so good on you

[riff]

Finn - great evo man! Must spread! Atzec - that's a good fit on you. Nice pick-up!

my stronghold persimmon's get the most wear out of any of my jeans nowadays...

Dying to see an update on these Stacks!

Do I need to do a hot wash and tumble dry to get all the shrink out of my S3000VXs or is a hot soak with agitation fine?

Sorry for noob question, I don't know much about the zero denim

[whorichard?]

These are my S710xx's 7 months 4 days 1 wash 2 soaks. Second pic is kinda outta focus, my bad.

[coleslawyum]

Zero Denim is awesome.

[aho]

I'm feeling some texas cotton....

I wouldn't recommend the tumble dryer EVER. at least when the pair is new. after 1 year and some fades it isn't that bad. also I had bad experience with machine ashing a new pair. better give them just two hot soaks with hand agitation

Me too:D

ay...don't tell me that, I just got one in size 30 which is like 1/2 size down. I can handle an inch shrinkage but not 2!

shinobi.....wondering how it went. or am I the only one with S5000VX 24oz super shrinkage. Had to put them up in the marketplace, I'm too old and not interested in wearing jeggings.

I apoligize in advance for the sub-par pictures. I will take better pictures once they have been soaked. Oh, and before I forget a big thanks to hiyo for the jeans! VERY trustworthy seller!

Already standing up on their own:

The selvage is f*cking awesome!

wtf...

Ok, now these compared to my 18oz S500JX-LRs is like comparing a pair of Iron Hearts to Nudies (in terms of weight) and yes it is a bit over-exaggerated, but it is the only way I can compare it. Well, these are also STIFF and a bit slubby. I am going to soak them though and I will post up better fit pics. These will definitely need a hem though, but hopefully the water on the first try will be hot enough I won't have to do a second soak.

Nice pick up, I have the same pair and I love them.

I'm curious to see how much yours shrink. I ended up doing 4 soaks all very hot and they didn't shrink nearly as much as my other samurais.

[laxlife1234]

Thanks! Do you have any fit pics of them? I am curious to see how baggy they will be. But I am hoping they will shrink within 2 soaks. I just finished my first soak, so I am going to throw them in the wash to hopefully shrink them more.

[Gilangaditya]

in my element shrink 2 inch (waist) hot soak. and will loose again after 2 days usage. welcome to element journey dude, the brown weft it gonna wild. enjoy !

[laxlife1234]

Thanks man! Yeah, it is interesting... This is what the water looks like:

Looking forward to how these fade. They actually seem almost purple.

My water was funky like that too!

I am on vacation but will take some fit pics when I get back.

Also my wind elements shrank way more than my earths did.

Some pics of my S510AI-Ns...

About 18 months wear now, washed for the first time after about four months, then another five or so washes since then. Always at 30 degrees, always using Bronners.

Hehe, had them resewn when they were repaired. The original ones didn't last long...

Oh, probably worth mentioning, Had them tapered after the initial soak, to make them closer to my slimmer sammies.

[ruprecht]

^very nice! Glad to have you in the contest!

Cheers pal, I'm looking forward to it.

OK, here is the latest update on my pair.

Post soak:

Post soak fit (I think I am going to leave as is until I need to wash them).

Then after day 1

Now I just want to say a few things.. These things are f*cking tough! Damn, I thought my 18 oz S500JX-LRs hurt after their initial soak, but these things not only hurt but annoyed the crap out of me the whole day! Needless to say if you guys think I should do another soak I am not. My reason is that from what I have been reading their isn't much shrinkage in them, and I poured boiling water onto the jeans so if that won't shrink them after the first soak I highly doubt they will shrink that much. I think I could have sized down 1, but it is too late now (unless someone has a brand new pair they would be willing to trade) and even so I got a nice deal on them and like the fit.

Now I just gotta hit up BiG and get them hemmed from them.
