Samurai Jeans

[bradl]

Awesome, thanks.

[Cucoo]

Yeah, the shirt shown there is pretty nice too. I still prefer the "old" pocket style though I think. However their interpretations of the classic western shirt never disappoints. I wish companies like Levi's would dare to take some risks with that too, because it would be a lot easier on my wallet

What do you mean with old? they announced both the "classic" and the "Lee-inspired" model

I prefer the style of this one: http://ameblo.jp/samuraihonten/entry-11776315317.html - that yoke and pocket flaps, I fell in love with them at first sight

[thisthingz]

hey guys-

 

thinking about whether or not to go for 24oz or 21oz s5000vx's. anyone have ways to convince me one or the other? i'm in california so the weather is on the warmer side. Is the the 24oz significantly warmer than the 21oz?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes the 24oz one is warmer..and it is harder to get. Did you find a shop with a decent stock?

[thisthingz]

Ah I meant the 25oz 15th anniv, but yes 2nd on rakuten has most sizes in stock.

To the dude talking about shirts, BiG seems to have just received a bunch of new Samurai shirts. No pictures are up though.

To which pair are you refering? But you mean probably the S510XX25ozGA-15th from Leather/Denim

[louisbosco]

yeah man, leather/denim's pair... decide to check it on the website and found out it was a special 15anniv model..

[Leather/Denim]

yeps you guys are right. it's the s510xx25ozGA

 

Have to thank b_F for compiling the fit guide. It definitely helped me size my samurais. It's spot on for both the s510xx and s5000vx

[bradl]

I think we need some more pictures of these jeans!

[munskoy11]

On my vacation I got access to green grass and sunlight so I couldn’t resist taking some progress pictures. The jeans are the S5000vx 25oz 15th anniversary after little more than six months and one wash.

Google translate says he wants to know how long.

I think if you have a direct question to one guy and you prefer to talk in your mother tongue, just use a P(ersonal)M(essage)

[whackedout]

I don't want to sound like a penis or anything but why would anyone know how long you wore your denim? It's just a pair of jeans you wear it and you beat it. I think asking how long you wear something is just irrelevant.

[Max Power]

And I think the whole post gets too much attention.

[Artisandenim]

Right. Just about to enter the Realm of Raw with a pair of 710xx, possibly 15th anniversary edition size/availability allowing. I've read most of this thread and have taken a lot of helpful info re: size and fit to confirm my choice of the 710s. I do however have a size/fit question from an angle I haven't seen covered... Namely, I tried a pair on at S.O.A.S on a recent trip to London. The size I chose was pretty much bang on, perhaps a tiny, tiny bit tight. My question then is, if they are a perfect fit in the shop brand new, will they be the right size to buy bearing in mind soaking/shrinking and subsequent stretching?

Ps two things I really, really don't want are saggy arse or hip flare...

[bradl]

If it fits good in store, after a bit the denim will stretch back out to what it originally was, then yes.

Damn, still getting the hang of this. Cheers for that - after reading so many posts I started second guessing myself.

Because how long you've been wearing your jeans is directly related to how they fade and change over time.  Because if there's a hole in the crotch and you've been wearing them for four months rather than twelve it gives you a dramatically different picture about the quality of the denim.  Because it gives people interested in buying the same jeans a better idea of how they can expect the jeans to fade.  And so on.

 

Occasionally people with this attitude show up here - "It's just a stupid pair of jeans, who cares" - and while I understand why people who don't particularly care about jeans would think this way, won't people who spend hundreds of bucks on their pants be interested in nitty-gritty details?  The whole reason why people are buying stuff like Samurai in the first place is because they think all these little parts of the hobby are fun.  If you don't care about that sort of thing, then fine, but why bother with expensive hobbyist-oriented brands like Samurai in the first place?  At the very least you shouldn't act surprised when people ask if you did a hot soak or cold soak, or comment on the patina of copper rivets or whatever.

I just thought it was some street talk about a cake and a llama, bro!
