^^^^^^ (apparently I can't post properly on certain computers)

 

Been seeing your posts in lots of threads, and just can't stop admiring those boots. Absolutely amazing, best boots I've ever seen.

Looking at a pair of S710XX, and wonder what I am looking at for shrinking. Thinking maybe 31, as last pair of denim (N&F, yes awful absolutely awful) was 29, 31" measured. But just not sure with the shrinking how I should be looking at for sizing. Sorry to be one of those people...

 

 

Not sure if anyone could give me a hand on this, and is it safer to be buying them through Suto or has anyone had experience buying straight from d-stock, 2nd.

you can buy Samurai jeans from many Japanese shops directly. If you want easy, English communication, order from www.kaizoku-pirates.com

[bradl]

Damn, they don't have 710... Any other you could recommend? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they have. just write him and he will get you a pair

edit: but then 2nd is also trustworthy, you just need to write with a translator (google or so)

Awesome, decided to go with 2nd as they had 31 in stock and ready to go. I have zero jeans at the moment, so looking for the quickest option.

[louisbosco]

well abit late. but i agree with b_F and highly recommend kaizoku pirates. cause yuchi will be able to get you about any pair. have requested from him on a few occasions already with samurai jeans.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no problem!


Hate to be that guy, but:

Someone interested in a BNWT pair of Samurai S5000VX Lot.12?
Size 34, with red tab, old arcs, never even tried on, not hemmed, carefully stored away.

Likely the last pair in that size you will get in this condition and with all the old details.

I can post pictures but then all you guys know how these look like

250$ + shipping


PM me!
(but I don't negotiate a lot as I don't "need" them gone )

Blue shadows are fading fast 6 months in.

So today, I decided to get another pair of S710. I had a pair of size 34 Lot 12 from 2009, which no longer fits me. I'm currently about 32.75 inch waist, kind of in the middle of size 33 and 32. I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh about 160. Think I can pull off size 32? BiG only have size 32 and not 33.

^^^ Size 32 should be fine.

Thanks. They are Alden Indy boots in natural chromexcel. Here's a better pic as I'm wearing them at work right now:

Hey I just got  pair (lot 15) of 710's in 32 so thought maybe I could help. They were already hot soaked/shrunk when I got them and measured probably 31 in the waist, 11.75ish in the thigh and 7.75 in the hem. I have a waist that is right around 32 at my actual waist line but I tend to wear my jeans a bit lower so most my pants measure at least 33 or greater in the waist after wearing in.

 

Anyways the 32 sams were a bit tight in the waist at first, and perfect in the seat and thigh. I never had problems getting all the buttons up. But over 5 wears they are getting less tight in the waist and are merely snug now @ 32" measured BiG style. I suspect these will stretch out another .5-1" and be perfect. I think a 32 would fit fine on you esp if you only do a warm/cool soak (instead of hot), or wear them moist to prevent too much waist shrinkage.

[Nathan18T]

Thanks for your input, franz. I just bought a size 32, should be here by this weekend. Just in time for me to hot soak/hang dry it during the weekend and wear it on Monday.

Heaviest denim jacket made yet?

 

[Quoise1203]

I love type ii jackets. This one would be especially sweet.

[bradl]

Heaviest denim jacket made yet?

That would be interesting to try and break in. If I didn't have a denim jacket I'd pick this up.

[501XX4EVER]

I take it the largest size for this jacket will be a 44?

[Planetarium]

Yessss, I knew there was a reason I waited on the 21oz Type II.

[bradl]

Ouchhhh 74$ in customs for my S710....

[Maynard Friedman]

Doh!!!

Has anyone got an update re: BIG's collabs in the 710 cut black & indigo due this spring summer??

[BlueOctoberFan]

I'd prefer a type 3 jacket, but that does look cool. If I didn't already have several casual jackets, including 2 denim jackets, I'd likely pick one up.

[Rightyow77]

^ I would love to see another type I from Samurai, personally prefer the fit of the I or II.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

More impressions of the 25oz jacket. Released is planned in October

 

 

As usual they will come in one-wash state

Is it just me or do the pockets look a bit weird, or is it just because of the weight/strength of the denim?

Edited May 11, 2013 by 501XX4EVER

[deadendpro]

^ the pockets do look a bit beefier than normal. I would agree with the weight of the denim being the cause of the unique look. It also might be that the denim looks rather dark and the contrasting stitching really makes it pop.

[franziskaner]

I have been fiending for a denim jacket for a few months now, and have been contemplating a type 2 vs type 3. I've actually never even owned a denim jacket in my whole life and  after seeing your post beatiful freak I'm having  a hard time not copping... But I'm just so broke right now I guess I'll have to wait

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You still have 5 months to save up
