Samurai Jeans

^^ it is quite rare to have a Z and S twill of similar properties in denim as the intention is often to create differnt properties and a distinct appearance and therefore you often change the loom settings or use different weft and warp yarns.

If you use similar yarns and settings on a loom that can create consistent results for for Z and S twills you should get similar behavior and fading properties. The drape should be the same as well, just the direction of the slant/skewness/spirality/leg twist is different.

i like when people talk in denim math..................is there any thread about this.Want to find and learn more about denim making process.

wow that AI actually looks tame and therefore nice...not the usual schizo colors like my PBJ 001s and the Oni Denim Ais.

[spidereye]

is the s510xxai-n sanforized? or unsanforized? thanks!

got this from my older cousin from US

[a salaam alaikum]

^all samurai jeans are unsanforized

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So jealous dude!

IIRC, this pair of AI denim isn't hank dyed but rope dyed. So it should fade similar to most regular Samurai jeans

[biltan]

@a salaam: thanks for the info!

@beutiful_freak: haha that's why i love my cousin!

o i see, what is the difference between hank dyed and rope dyed? and how will it affect to the fading process?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

AFAIK

hank dyed = dyed to the core = won't really fade

rope dyed = core of the warp is still white = fade like you know it

[spidereye]

Nice pair of beauty...biltan.............

[biltan]

haha thanks spydereye

ben, yupp i've soaked it this afternoon haha

well, here's the fit pic after the intial soak, is it any good?

[ThinFinn]

first of all...i want to thank b_F and Daniel from DC4 BERLIN.

first thing i did, after losing one of the buttons on my Samurai S0500XX was that i pm´ed b_F about my problem and he was so kind to inform daniel right away. a few weeks later i had this in my letterbox!

first the "problem"

and the letter with some nice stuff included:

an extra top button:

one smaller one to replace the one missing:

and two rivets:

going to post pics again, after the job is done!

[Alex3000]

Hot damn those buttons are rusty..

Recently started wearing my jins again forgot how comfortable that denim is.

[benbernadin]

biltan

nice fit bill! i prefer s510xxai-n's fit than blue shadow's

[saintkeat]

Nice stuff thinfinn! I've been wondering what's going to happen to my buttons as I stare at the rust on the stem of most of my buttons. well at least now i know.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I really wonder what kind of rust you guys see in those pics?!

[Quoise1203]

Yea, I don't know either. The "rusted" buttons in thinfinn's pics are just copper colored. The third pic is a brand new button, certainly it isn't rusted!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Can't see any rust either

^^and I found some real great links here on this thread the last days. thanks you all!!

hey guys, i'm thinking about picking up a pair of sammies from big. i'm currently looking at the 710xx (http://blueingreenso...emart&Itemid=62). i got a few questions. what's the difference between those 710s and the ones with the pattern on the back pockets that i see? is this just a newer batch or what? any real big difference?

also, i'm a 30" tts and like a fitted fit. should i go with a tag size 30 or 29 considering soak and stretching? sorry for the noob question, but considering these are $325, i'd rather not mess up the sizing haha.

and finally, is the 710 the slimmest cut?

thanks guys.

Yes different batches, not much difference (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

Size down 1 if your thighs can handle it for a very slim fit (at your size it's almost skinny jeans!).

I believe 710 is their slimmest cut.

[mcb]

^ thanks for the reply! i like the 710 with the black arches. are those still available anywhere?

so for a regular 710 fit though, should i just go tts?

[hpdv7]

All 710's from BIG have the black arcuates. And yes, go tts. I did, and they were a bit big on me (more so in the lower block than in the waist or thighs) after the first two or three hot soaks. I gave them an hour long soak today though, and added in a couple pots of boiling water, and it looks like they shrunk a lot more than before. They shrink a lot, and continue to shrink through several soaks. I think that the fit should be perfect after this soak; I just have to wait till they dry.

lets not mention anything bout big n wat they got

[HoustonChris]

Pretty sure black/blue colors in Samurai's current arc style are legal under the terms of the Levi's agreement. Should be no harm in talking about it.
