Samurai Jeans

[xchen]

just joined the s710xx club, can't wait until they get here. haven't had unsanforized jeans since the eternal contest

[Robert Langdon]

Ordering from Frisbee rakuten sucked. 15 Google translated emails I finally found the nerve to commit, though paypal not an option. They hit me with with a 4 (day) step process and kept stressing the jeans were non washed, no returns, etc. 1st the order confirmation, then, since the jeans aren't actually in the shop, they determine the weight and shipping costs. Leads us in to day 3, where total cost has been determined and the credit card info is physically keyed in to there "system".

On the 4th and final day I get an automated call from my banks fraud unit wanting me to confirm the last 5 transactions. The voicebox was something out of radioheads OK computer, disturbing and paranoid. I knew right away it didn't go through. After all of that. Guess it throws up a red flag when your in San Fran and Tokyo at the same time. Order canceled but now, thanks to the guys at BIG soho I'm the proud owner of a pair red hawk 710s. TTS w34.

Appreciate the heads up on Frisbee as I've been looking at their store occasionally.

 

Are the Red Hawks really a black denim? The contrast stitching makes them look indigo to me despite BiG claiming otherwise.

@nutusufu

Proxy when paypal isn't an option. It's hassle free.

I just ordered the redhawks yesterday so hopefully sometime this week I'll post some pics. And yes they are the BK zero denim. 17oz.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

what knd of jeans do you wanted to get from Frisbee?

[louisbosco]

Why not just go to Yuchi?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ that was exactly the ulterior motive of my question above.

unless he wanted something limited or a collab

should have followed the thread

 

But other than that, I'm sure some store surely would have had a pair. Now it's too late anyways

[58panheadfan]

Uups BF, you are right... should have followed the thread...

[Robert Langdon]

Blessing in disguise. I needed some black jeans. Pics on arrival

I really want to see some decent pictures of the Red Hawks, ones that aren't on the BiG website. :unsure2:

[Broark]

Is there a general rule of thumb when it comes to 710 sizing?

I'm thinking about getting a pair of the 15th anniversary ones from Pirates, the stealth arcs are really tempting me.

I'm not familiar with Samurai shrinkage upon soak or anything like that, so any basic guidelines would be helpful.

[Robert Langdon]

@501xx

I'll post as soon as they get here. Heres a teaser though

@broark

Email pirates and he'll give you one wash measurements. He'll get back to you pretty quick

[xchen]

Orange = red = RED HAWK

[beautiful_FrEaK]

hem or at least cuff.

but hem would be better

[Max Power]

Great fit, but a hemjob wouldn't hurt.

[Aries]

Hem.

Thanks for that, but damn, they still look indigo. :P

[Broark]

After looking at the 710XX charts on BiG I think that my normal size 36 will work just fine.

Now I just need to decide if I want the 15th anniversary 710XXs or wait it out for the new BiG collaborations coming in the spring.

Decisions decisions.

@501

Soon as they arrive ill put em up against my s500s

@501

Soon as they arrive ill put em up against my s500s

 

Thanks, looking forward to it.

@broark - I went with my normal size (36). Waist is probably the smallest of the 36s I own, though I haven't had them long so stretch is still to come. Thighs are roomy enough.

 

Mine had been soaked but not really worn before I got them. I'm in no hurry to wash them until the waist has stretched a bit.
