@Chubacca: you could look into the S0500XX...it's a bit bigger overall but still tapered

@dave28: no, there are no pairs using the same denim

What do you think about S5000VX vs S0500XX?

What are your thoughts of Texas cotton with the S0500XX? Again, thanks!

Wasn't the GX denim essentially the VX denim, but with colored wefts? Regarding texture, they seemed very close. Maybe a slight bit less heavy though...

Thanks I will try the VX if thant is the case, I loved the cut so much and the weight of denim was spot on IMO

the 0500 gives you more room in the top block. with the lower rise and the fitted top block, I'm not sure the s5000 will fit you the way you want.

you can compare the measurements on blueingreensoho

[rosarkar]

Are the Samurai 710 available in sizes smaller than 28 via Ratuken? It appears BiG only carries sizes 28 and up.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

AFAIK, 28 is the smallest size they make in this cut

[chuuck]

smallest size they have up on rakuten is also 28

If it's a slimmer cut with enough room in the thighs you're looking for, the 0500 sounds indeed better. The 5000 has no real taper and thus is pretty wide at the hem (9,5" raw in my case, size 34).

Awaiting the heavy weight competition, here are pre- and post-soak fit pics of the 4000VX 21oz.

I had them hemmed before shipping, and I think the length came out just about perfect.

3x bow....i love boot cuts jeans , and you got a lot of guts wear this for 2nd round comps

[num7119199]

What are defference between 510xx 21 onz and 5000vx 21 onz?

510xx21onz and 5000vx21onz use the same Fabric?

thank you very much.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's a different fit. the 510 is a regular straight cut and the 5000 is slim straight fit.

I'm not sure if the denim is different. I always thougth it's the same but over a year ago someone said, the denim is indeed different. Dunno, I don't own the S5000VX21oz

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The new 25oz denim will be released in the S5000 cut!

[BlueOctoberFan]

Craziness... I wonder how those will hold up. With my 24 ounce jeans, the fabric started to come apart in a couple of places where there wasn't even real wear. I have also never had jeans start to tear at the cuffs without them being long enough for me to step on. I should be getting them back from the tailor again on Monday.

They should really be using poly core (I think most Samurai use 100% cotton, correct?) thread if they are going to make such a heavy fabric. I won't be surprised if the seams bust before the fabric is real worn in, as BlueOctoberFan just mentioned.

[FALERBRAND]

right out of the wash... a little over a year old!

[BlueOctoberFan]

Actually, the seams are generally fine nine months in. It's the material itself which has come apart, both where the cuff is folded (not entirely surprising) and in a couple of random spots which aren't under stress at all (middle of the shin, possible at the back of one thigh).

Falerbrand, very nice. I like the rough texture and how the fading shifts from above the honeycombs to below.

just what i needed another s5000

[beautiful_FrEaK]

again a new run of the Wrangler-repro, S0210XJ

This time using the new 17oz LHT denim

[apsidewatch]

guys, im looking for a slim fit heayweight raw denim for HWDC2, what cut does samurai can offer? was looking for something like APC New Petite Standard, but with >17oz.

[Cold Summer]

Cool! With all this talk about a new BiG collab, I think that what would be really sweet is a 710 cut with those Wrangler specs and LHT denim (or a 710 cut that's different from the standard model in a way other than just the denim used.)

[Quoise1203]

Is this LHT the same denim that's on the 610LX? or is it the vintage blue with grey weft stuff that was on the 2nd generation jins?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's the second generation LHT denim.

Sweet.

Gorgeous jeans. Anyone know the reason behind the stitching going above the left side of each back pocket?
