That's in the rotation right now... Here's hoping mines looks just as good as yours!

[saintkeat]

Nice job Flo! I think I might have to wash mine again soon. Denim seems to be breaking down quite a bit but not as contrasty as that.

[Max Power]

Thank you. I'm still unsure wether to do a machine or handwash, but I will use them as weekend jeans from then on. Got a 888 coming.

[corporalclegg]

so I picked up the last pair of black shadows and the size 31 measures 31 inches pre soak, and I can barely get them buttoned up. Are they going to stretch enough to fit comfortably or should I just return them.

[BrownMetallic]

^reminiscent of my very 1st 710__ imo, return & [un]complicate your life.

[Gilangaditya]

I suggest returning.

[shinobi2000]

corporal, where did you get them from? are they hard to return?

[corporalclegg]

I got them from blue in green so I'm just gonna exchange them for a pair of 710s in a larger size, unless someone on here is intent on buying them by tomorrow morning

[Gilangaditya]

prepare for dry vs dry contest at Hall of fades, wish me luck .

[kayodic]

are you set on the 19oz xx?

BIG got the 710bk 17oz [zero] denim

you can TTS or even sd1__ i did on the indigo version

I for myself wouldn't be surprised if a size 31 really measures 31" pre-soak. Encountered that often enough with Samurai jeans. And I never had a pair of Samurai jeans measuring in the waist what BiG says...BiG always states them 1" bigger than what I measured myself (and yes, I use their method). Maybe they streeeeeeeeeeetch them really out while measuring.

do you work for samurai?

Both pairs of Samurai purchased out of BiG were larger than specified. Next time I will definatly size down to a 34w. There is a lot of stretching, most notably in the knee for me.

Sorry, I quoted the wrong Quote from you. I was replying to this Quote:

I've also noticed The inseam was longer as well than size specified.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I was only reffereing to the waist size and I had never a pair of Samurai jeans being as large as BiG says they are (just for the waist that is). Other dimensions may be spot on, smaller or bigger. Haven't checked that for every pair.

No, I don't work for them. If I would, I would own a lot more stuff

What other thread do you talk about though?

Samurai Jeans 5th Year Anniversary Feeler Thread

i thought i saw a post by you modeling a million fits and posting samples of all of the new stuff coming out . . . and people seem to be asking you for a lot of details

[kslo]

I was thinking of buying a pair of samurai earth elements from http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/spirits-ogaki/item/10000494/.

Does anybody have experience with this store? and also how do you work shipping outside of japan through rakuten?

[S-Town]

^

I would go with 2nd if they have your size. I'm sure Spirits is a fine shop, but I know many of us here have had flawless service from 2nd. Only thing is that you'll have to translate your dialogue to Japanese. If you order through Rakuten, just choose the International Shipping option. The shop will contact you with the total (including shipping) and verify your address etc. before the order is processed completely.

[kslo]

They look like they have measurements very similar to my s0110xj and I have a 31 in those so I assume 31 in the earth elements would be the way to go? So ill probably have to order through spirits.

[biltan]

4 times washed blue shadow, looking for that kinda vintage look and i'm planning to wash it once a week.. what do you guys think? should i? or maybe once a month?

[saintkeat]

Wash them however hard you wear them. I'm a fan of the Natural not the Artificial.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

exactly. I like how they look. Too bad the new upgrade won't let me rep you
