Samurai Jeans

[Martybear]

black shadows are coming

I am excited. I just hope I can get a nice slim fit. The sizing guide for 710s says to size down 1 for a really slim fit, but I am a size 28, so I dont think that will be possible.

I MUST EAT MORE

Lucky you, I wish I had your problems...

Lucky you, I wish I had your problems...

You really dont. Im 5'4" and 120 pounds. Finding shirts that fit that arent 100 doll hairs each is a real hassle,pants can be even worse sometimes.

[501cult]

Yeah; the grass is greener very probably. Thanks for replying anyway. I like my jeans real tight, and whenever there's too much of a paunch abvove the beltline, it ain't a pretty picture.

Let's hope we can both cope with our respective situations successfully!

710 fit after 2 years.

[whorichard?]

Fit

[robosco]

both of those have fantastic fades and fits!

[kawawaka]

I really need to post my 24 ouncers they are going on five months now and I have not shared them on here yet, but lots of intense fades, look out!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Something I have to show you.

Fake S0500XX!!!

[kayodic]

^it surprised me that you knew KASKUS.... i bet you already saw lotsa Fake Samurais there....

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I travelled far with the internet

yep..there are even more but worse ones. the pair above did quite a "great" job there.

[shubharamani]

Beautiful_Freak, those fakes look real to me. Of course,

I don't have a keen denim eye like you do. A very real lesson

to learn in life, across all walks -- There is no such thing as

a free lunch !

nate1492 your Samurai 710s are the best advertisement

for Sams I've ever seen. They fit you splendidly and the wear

tapestry is incredible. Now I want a pair of Sam 710 but somehow

I doubt that they'll look as good on me as they look on you !

^ i would say the most obvious things that give them away as fake to me are the fit (it looks very strange, super tapered) the plain white cloth pocket bags, the sloppy craftsmanship, and the denim itself. It may just be my eyes but it also looks like the thread is different too. What else am i missing?

honestly this is blowing my mind, i had no idea that fake samurai's existed.

also what is Kaskus? It looks like just forum community to me, is there more to it than that? I searched samurai on there and found a listing i think those pictures are from (although there were only 2 pictures in the listing). The title said "samurai jeans replica". So these were being sold as fakes?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the belt loops are off...look a bit like Nudie ones, to wide

And the biggest mistake: a tagged length of 33"

I have to admit they did good work on the buttons, rivets (as far as you can see), the flasher, tags, crafmanship on these is better than on the other fakes I saw on kaskus.

[a salaam alaikum]

wow i didn't even notice the L 33. you are right that is the biggest mistake.

how much to people sell these for on that site? considerably cheaper i'd imagine.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I haven't converted it by myself but heard it's be around 25€..so do your maths

[haberdashery]

are these legit?

http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kind-u/item/331109001076/

[a salaam alaikum]

just converted it, around $35 USD. crazy.

@haberdashery looks like the pictures have been deleted, also they have been sold

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's sold out...so why asking?

yeah, buying from Rakuten = legit.

if you buy from some Indonesian forum and pay just a tenth of the nirmal price...common sense guys, common sense

[haberdashery]

i bought them last night but now bf's post has me second guessing. plus i've heard of fake bape on there before. heres a couple more pairs i found from the same seller

[beautiful_FrEaK]

from those pics, legit.

the shop you post sells pre-owned stuff..so no wonder they are cheaper

ok cool, thanks

[morse9443]

oh god, is a fake samurai epidemic coming?

I can tell immediately from those pics last page, b_f...the denim looks super shiny and cheap.

[kit99bar]

The extreme taper on those fake SAMs is hilarious:D

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah of course the denim is way off but I'm really scared that many details on the S0500XX aren't that bad. I fear they could make it better and harder for us to tell

What's up guys? Had an account from 2007, no idea where it went. Finally got this account activated, here's the blue shadows I purchased last week.

I'm not totally sold on the fit - I think I may try to unload these and see how a 32 feels. Thoughts?

[everyinchofgod]

X-post from HDC thread...

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics.

im trying to decide between a 33 or 34...i may be interested if you do decide to sell

[jonsc]

jmiller, can you button those up? 710s are slim straights, you want them even skinnier??
