they are a stockist but as I said, there's no guarantee that they have all the products you want to try when you go there in december.

where are you from?

[infestedpeon]

I am having trouble deciding whether to purchase the black shadows or bks with hidden arcs, help me out guys!

[jaythejet]

i'm gonna go with the black shadows they look insane especially with the black patch. i was gonna get the 32oz naked and famous and now im seriously considering buying the black shadows instead

[adnarim]

damn went with the hidden arcs hahaha scooped the last 30 too

[jaythejet]

is there a difference in the actual denim between those two models?

[robbeec]

anyone with experience with the s001jp model? i picked up a pair to take home to aus, and in my travels i think i've shrunk some. the 31 i got is probably slightly big around the waist, have not soaked or done anything yet. but wondering if the denim shrink a fair bit with a nice boiling hot soak/shower for a while?

dependent on the answer i may have to let them go in the market. i feel like a 30 would've been spot on for me... or if anyones a 31 and wants to take em off me happy to do a deal and let them go much cheaper than the 370 aud i paid for them..

suggestions? try the hot soak/wash/shower first?

[okisan]

hot soak in the hottest tap water you can get. then wait - chances are you'll put the weight back on with summer drinking.

[robbeec]

i'll give it a soak, im normally a no soak till i get a few months wear so this will be different... football preseason kicks in soon for me so might have to just eat more. ha.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^they are unsanforized so will shrink a decent amount

is there a difference in the actual denim between those two models?

no, the same 17oz black denim on both

[robbeec]

cool, ill mull over it for the day and see if anyone is a perfect 31. thanks for the help. i'll ready the bathtub for soaking tomorrow

[BrownMetallic]

^if you're planning for some [really] hot soaking, slap some leather conditioner/oil on the patch, so as not to f*ck up the leather.

'have no idea of your fit preference, but soo1jp is in 5000 silhouette & the denim stretches out from wear, down the line. if you prefer the SLIM side on the 5000s, which is why i think you're apprehensive right now, you need to SD1.

ah.. great info and pretty much spot on. i want a little bit more room than my 710's currently gave me cause i went 29 in that and they are great but just a tad on the tight side in the crotch thigh area, the nice man at hinoya kept saying they'd shrink 2" whch is why i went with the 31 but then wasn't predicting that i'd lose some weight also.

thanks for that mate!

[wipava]

@robbeec

i have the s001jp and i found that there was not a huge amount of shrinkage - and what there was basically stretched back out after wearing for a few week.

i am generally a 32 waist, but play laot of sport and have large thigs so i have to size up too a 33. If i recall correctly I did an initial cold soak in the washing machine with no spin, then 2 x hot soaks in the bath (only hot water out of the tap) for about an hour each.

S710vx

[tintinsonson]

For men, which is the slimmest model: s0500, s0505, or s710??

[kit99bar]

710 and 505 are the same cut and slimmer than the s0500.

This info is on the first page of this thread

[mister B]

Been wearing s710 Blue Shadows for 2 weeks now, in love with the material and blue arc's

Will try to post pics soon.

[shinobi2000]

710 and 505 are the same cut and slimmer than the s0500.

true but as mentioned several times here, sizing up or down can change the "slimness" scale. A size 29 of the s0500 fits almost exactly like a size 30 of the 710s on me (at least from the lower thighs and down)

[infestedpeon]

I am about to pull the trigger on a pair of S710BKII - BIG

I am trying to figure out my correct size, here are below the measurements of a LVC 1954 (carott fit) closest to the fit of the S710 I think.

Measurements are from a brand new pair of LVC (taken from oipolloi website)

LVC 1954

Size 34

Waist 35

Front rise 11

Upper thigh 10

Knee 7.5

what could be my size in S710 ?

Gordon and the team at BiG gave me great support, and according to him I should go with a W34 also in S710, I would like to have a second opinion of may be any owner of LVC 1954 who made the switch to S710, as I have been reading this thread, S710 stretches a looooooot.
