Samurai Jeans

[newp]

Hello, guys. Some time lurker, first time poster looking for advice.

I am rather tall (my inseam length is about 90-92 cm, yes, from my crotch to the end of the floor though or about 35.5-36 inches) and skinnyfat guy (have got a bit of fat on my belly, but not a lot, really. I don't work out, that's why) with skinny/slim legs. Jeans I wear are usually 30 in size and don't stretch at all (I am new at raw denim, so I own only shit jeans like CK, time for me to upgrade to the real deal). The question is, which model should I choose for slim or skinny look? A tapered leg will be really, really appreciated, I'd like to wear these jeans with my Daltons. I am torn between s0003jp and S710XX, which one will be better? I've heard s0003jp is slimmer but I see a lot of people selling it due to wrong size. Shall I buy it true to size (i.e. 30)? Or shall I buy S710XX down one size? I can make and post some pics, but I don't know if naked hairy legs or belly will be appreciated haha. Thanks a lot in advance for your advice!

tl;dr: tall skinnyfat newfag asking about choice from s0003jp and S710XX and sizing.

So- I received my 710’s last week. Size 33. I bought then from a fella off here for a pretty reasonable price. He’d had 2 inches taken off the hem which works nicely for me as I’d have had to do that anyway. He’d given them a warm/hot soak from raw and they obviously didn’t fit him so they’ve only had a few hours of wear with him. They were much looser when they arrived with me- worryingly so. I gave them a Very hot bath soak for an hour or so which thankfully brought them down a little.

I’m happy enough with the top block and the front/back profile but as I’ve got very flat buttocks coupled with skinny legs I’m wondering if the side profile looks wrong- especially from the knee down where it sort of balloons out.

I’m still not convinced I chose the right size. I think on reflection a 32 would fit much better?Sometimes I look at them and think they look great, other times the calf area just doesn’t seem right

Any opinions/thoughts? Apologies for the poor pics. I'll try & get something better up.

If anyone has a size 32 in a similar condition that they’re finding to snug and would want to swap for a 33, let me know

I'd stick with thease and wear them..after some machine washes you will be thankfull

B_F is the master of all things Samurai, so I hate to contradict him, but as a 710xx owner and fan myself, I'd vote for sizing down to a 32.

[Aries]

I think they look good and are proportionate to your upper body, but at the end of the day it's you wearing the jeans, so if you think you'd feel better in 32s, get the 32s.

[Max Power]

You don't look lik you could comfortably size down, so I concur with B_f. If you had expected a skinny fit , the 710 was the wrong choice (I should make that my signature maybe).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It's totally fine with me to disagree with me

IMO, the top block fits as it should and yeah the lower part is where the (your) problem lays but I'm not sure if one size down will change this issue that much. So a taper by some experienced tailor would be an option or the S003JP

[Cold Summer]

I think those look great, they look slim but with room in the right places. A fit that hugs every bit of your hips and thighs is not the only way to wear jeans and look good.

[jockstick]

can anyone tell me if the 710 in a sz 32 will stretch to 12.3ish in the thigh? thanks!

[jockstick]

more specifically, the s710xx in the 19oz

[Mr Black]

Machine washes?? WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT AND GO WAIT OUTSIDE THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE!!

I think i'll stick with 'em. Like I say- sometimes i look at myself and they look great, sometimes i'm dubious. P'raps i just need to experiment with the length a little to change how they break on my shoes.

Had a look at the s003 and they seem to look very similar in fit to my Red Cloud R400's. I was after a looser look than that and ultimately these do the trick. I guess I can always taper the area between knee & cuff very slightly to get rid of the (perceived) bulge.

Will still keep my eyes open for a 32 to trade with tho' just in case.

Thanks for your input Gents.

I think it's been awhile since the Motor Club denim has been mentioned, but does anyone here own any or have first-hand experience with it? And comments or feelings?

The first time I saw pictures, I really didn't like it at all. But, the more I've looked at it over the past couple of years, the more I dig it.

I know most are not keen on the boot cuts, but I'm happy to have a new pair of 4000vx 21oz ready for the heavy weight competition. Shipped from a Japanese store (2nd) to an American door in only 3 days. Most impressive.

neat

[rawsnoopy]

Anybody on here got the S003jp17-L (17 oz left hand twill denim in the S003jp cut)?

Im thinking about ordering a pair from 2nd on rakuten....

If anyone could give me any info on the fabric, fit, fades etc. that would be great (pics would be awesome)

P.S. for those of you who've ordered off rakuten before, does it usually go smoothly?

Thanks

I'd love to join the Samurai family now that my IHxB01 (33) are two years old and my Japan Blue x Momo 0100SP (31) are one year old.

I'd like a few simple questions answered if you may, please.

if I ordered the S5000VX21oz from BiG will they not have the sammy arcs + tab ?

if not where is my best bet for getting a pair with arcs + tab to be shipped in the U.S. ?

edit; are the S510XX21oz mutch different in terms of cut/fit ?

if I were a tagged size 31 in the S5000VX21oz, would I size the same for that kind of fit ?

answers and input are much appreciated my friends..

[louisbosco]

well i can answer some, your best bets for arcs are from rakuten, e2nd or email yuchi from pirates.

as for the fits between s5000 and 510, the 510 is much wider than the 5000. the 5000 is more of a slim straight fit and the 510 is like a straight fit.

[Vicarious]

Heard some information on the 15th anniversary model. Supposedly in a 3000 cut, 24 or 25 ounce, with one blue arcuate and one red. Intriguing. We'll see if I heard right.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^well that's just the S3000VX24oz-SG that has notjing to do with the 15th anniversary since it was already announced and in production last year. AFAIK.

@TheNorthern: safest way would be indeed 2ND or Kaizoku-Pirates or DC4 in Germany to get arcs and tabs.

As louisbosco said, the fits are different. especially the seat and thighs are quite different. Check my signature for a comparison

I don't see why those would look bad with 710xx

I don't see why those would look bad with 710xx

Well, as 710 aren't so slim as european fashion jeans, they look well with kinda "heavier" boots, or sneakers. I haven't seen anyone wearing it with wingtips, so I am a bit afraid of looking awkward.

[louisbosco]

well you said you've decided to buy. have you got the jeans yet? a fit pic would be good.

i dont think there would be anything wrong cause i've seen people wear it with trickers and they look just fine. i guess it's how you pair your overall look.
