judging by that pics (and your plan to lose weight..although most times that won't happen ), I think it could be doable. I've seen guys trying to make worse fits work.

I'll try it, thanks a lot. What's better, soak them in cold water or to soak them wearing them in slightly warm water (40 celsius maybe)? I think I will soak them for 50-55 minutes, no more.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You want to sit nearly one hour in the bathtub? Well...better try to get more shrinkage out now. Put them in the tub with hot water, stick a piece of wood or a hanger in the waist to prevent it from shrinking. If you really wanna go that route.

Otherwise there is still the option of a new pair just to be sure

[newp]

Guess I will follow your advice, fixate the waist and shrink everything else. Thank you!

Honestly I'd exchange, those look pretty tight and they're only going to get tighter after the soak.

[tooth]

Well, exchanging is as much problem as buying new ones. Shipping+tax for new pair will be kinda expensive. Are you sure this is the only valid choice, they won't stretch at all after wearing them and will soak too much?

More expensive than buying a new pair? Looking at your fit pics, I think you'll be saving money by sending them back and actually enjoy wearing them when you get the right size.

Okay, thank you!

Just go jogging four times a week and eat rice and bean shoots most of the time and you will fit those in 20-30 days and be very healthy and fit. I wish I could take my own advice though because I was size 30 most of my life and now I`m size 34 darn it.

[illusiongod]

What slimmer between 710xx vs 610lx? I see size chart from BiG and they looked almost similar.

And does anyone have a picture of evolution of 610lx, I find only 710xx pic all around.

Thank you

Haha I am trying to do, don't have a time for exercises but stopped eating anything except vegetables and meat =) thank you!

Picked up these pair from a member on a different forum. Wicked excited for my first pair of Samurai. These are the S0500XX.

[blm14]

Just got this pair to my collections after try to find it for many years

My S5000AI-10SP

Let me know how those work for you. I work mine for 6 months and had some very bizarre structural issues (they kept tearing in weird places) and they faded in very strange ways.

I am very shocked to here this. I had a different s5000 special model and it was the most structuraly sound jeans I ever saw. It was tag 29 and I stretched it to fit me and I`m a size 34. I was doing hardcore jumping about and exercises and no tears at all.

Sd5 ??????? Think that a Sufu record

What sort of weird places? Halls of mirrors? Haunted houses? I suggest you stay away from them...

Haha, I sold them in the end because they never got to a comfortable stage ( no surprise lol )

^ wouldn't that leave residue on your jeans?

Playing this game as he wants - it'll have to be either; Indigo on you Footwear or the possibility of Residue on your Jeans.

Neither should be a real problem.

Just enjoy your jeans. Both them and your shoes are finite things. Worrying about them too much will distract you from the pleasure of wearing and owning them.

Wabi-sabi. The end.

[Aries]

They will indeed shrink 2-3 inches after one or two hot soaks.

As you say you had them tapered (unless you meant to say hemmed), I've no idea how they'll look with sneakers; what did you have them tapered to?

Generally 710s look good with sneakers.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

as shrinkage is a percentual thing, your 33" inseam won't shrink as much as the standard 39" inseam of the 710. My 39" didn't quite shrank 3" so I don't think your 33" inseam will shrink to 30". At least not with one soak. You'll probably end with 31" after the intial soak.

[Aries]

^^^^

Shit this is a good point I forgot about. As always I think b_F is on the money, it'll be closer to 31 than 30 methinks.

samurai texas cotton type 1 3rd wash

[Quoise1203]

^^ I have a samurai type III i've been wearing for almost a year. It's not nearly as broken in as yours, but it's coming along nicely. I don't think it's quite ready for a wash yet, but I might do it anyways. I can never seem to get the colors right in pics, but might try to post some anyways.
