Samurai Jeans

[shinobi2000]

you're my size except for 5 lbs lighter than me. I went for a size 30 (my normal size) but then sized up because I was afraid of shrinkage. Now I regret that. They sit lower on your hips so it's not totally insane to go up on the waist size but they sure slim down by the time it gets past your knees so take that into consideration too.

To add onto my last post after the 3 hot pre soaks, my 710's are perfectly snug in the waist and the thigh. It's from the knee down where they are still a lot more baggy than I'd like. They look kind of silly, like boot cut jeans, when I'm looking for a slim look. Rather than stacking, the jeans kind of flare out from the knee down. Has anyone had a problem with that? I know the 710's aren't supposed to be "tapered" jeans, but I expect them to taper to some extent.

Tapering really isn't an option for me, since there's not a tailor in my area I'd trust with Sam's lul.

if your inseam is left long, pants tend to balloon out from the knee down without some coaxing. they end up sitting on top of your foot/shoe and giving the rest of the leg some structure to sit on, instead of falling naturally. if you were to look at your leg opening from the bottom it would look more like an oval instead of a circle, giving the appearance that the leg is wider than it should be.

i had the exact problem with my 710's. Dunno how you will fix that without a taper. I tapered and they are perfect now.

If you are willing to pay a fair bit this is the guy who does my denim repairs.

Could anyone provide me with some info on the 15th anniversary 710 collab with 2ND? Just got a pair and can't find muhc info on them? Thnk you

[Cold Summer]

You must be mistaken. I check 2ND's website every day and I've never seen anything about a 710 collab. It's not a very popular model in Japan, and an unlikely choice. You probably either got a different model collab with them, or you got ripped off.

[S-Town]

Besides, no 15th anniversary models have even been officially announced, if I'm not mistaken.

[ndrw]

Thanks for the responses guys, the jeans I am talking about can be found here, I have a hard time reading the patch

it was a collab in 2008. 710 cut with 15oz Texas cotton denim. IIRC it was the 10th anniversary of Samurai and the 12th anniversary of 2ND

This! ^^^^^^

25oz?! What the shit, it will literally be like wearing armour.

By which I mean it sounds great.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

curious how similar it is to IH's 25oz denim.

But then, I think (and hope) Samurai only does unsanforized denim

[spidereye]

(25oz will be released!

Neither a photograph nor sale time understands a detailed thing yet.

It will connect, immediately after understanding.)

......................................................................................................................................................................................................

So we are the same par interm of heavy denim oz with ironheart 25oz beatle buster...hopefully it will be up for sell before appril .

p/s hope this gem not come out under OGSP model.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you can't pre-order them now I'm quite positive they won't be available in time for the HDWC2.

if they mare a AI model out of it..well..they had the 24oz AI last year...again a heavy AI denim would be kinda boring (and expensive )

[spidereye]

You got the point . but i still hope they produce it before April,if so i believed you will love to have one...huh samurai 7.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Most likely it will be released in the 510 cut as most new (and heavy) denim. If it would be the 5000 cut, I might be interested

[spidereye]

Yeah 5000 is the best cut not too low or too high rise.

[louisbosco]

Yes. S5000 cut! Just like my 24oz currently!

[Max Power]

25 oz should be 28 oz after wash (or don't they claim the 24 to be 27 post wash)? Not sure, if that's necessary and wearable, but it will find its buyers. I can't imagine to wear those, as it would ´probably leave only the winter as wearing time. But I am curious to see them, I must admit.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

at this stage of weight, I also don't know if that 1oz makes such a big difference...

[Max Power]

Well, in terms of competitng with other brands maybe it does for some customers who hunt for the heaviest denim available. But I doubt that this is Samurais ambition.

[louisbosco]

True that. Samurai is alway in the own world. Nogami-San is one fella with crazy ideas!

[spidereye]

Yes. S5000 cut! Just like my 24oz currently!

I miss this one....sell like hot cakes.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 25oz jeans will be released in the middle of the year, more details will be announcend in spring.

And more 15th anniversary stuff will be announced in February

[louisbosco]

Awesome!!

[spidereye]

at the same time.

[Max Power]

So...will it make sense to wait until feb to decide which pair I'll buy? I think YES.

[louisbosco]

Well feb will be coming up really soon!

Samurai 710 blue shadows after 2 months wear, first wash. I love the denim, fit and arcuates on these:

The buttons are great too, from the Jin if I'm not mistaken (as are the pocket bags).

Some closeups of the denim.
