Samurai Jeans

[chambo2008]

Yup looking good!

[Alex3000]

After about a month of waiting my BK's and Jins should be leaving NY this weekend hopefully. Also the Black Shadows are looking real good hope they have that grainy look like in the pictures.

All Sams have a certain amount of graininess, but I can say with great confidence that you'll be satisfied with the black VX denim on any model. It's definitely a cool uneven weave.

The question is..

All black details or hidden arcs with contrast stitching...

[wasabi]

They need to make a black type 3 jacket already

Yeah after about 3 washes the 19oz black denim gets an awesome grainy look and feel too it. Really interested in the VX denim.

In sort of a dilema here.

I got my samurais hemmed to a 32. Turns out im retarded and that is still too long, noticed after wearing them 3 or 4 days. I need to take them back and get them hemmed to a 30 or so(I know, Im really short).

Since the 710s get slimmer as they go down and im getting that much cut off, Im taking some of the slimness away I assume and I guess that means that I need to get them tapered. How much do I tell them tailor to taper them so they fit like they should?

^IMO, no need to taper an already slim fitting jean...But at least try them out hemmed to 30 and see if they aren't slim enough I'd say, at which point you could decide...

I just figured if they get slimmer as they go down, and Im cutting like 6 inches off, they wont be as slim as they would if they had their full length. I will see how it goes though.

Thanks

i totaly get what you mean because i always order my jeans 29.5inches presoak. a slim cut for me possibly will never happen if i dont taper them. i have learnt that the only way i dont have to taper them is if i order something with a 7inch L.O. but i will never fit those because the rise always ends up too short. ended up just dealing with it but yeah, if you want something slimmer you will probably have to tell them to taper then from the inseam. but you better tell them how slim you want your jeans to end up. their interpretation of slim can range anything from skin-tight skinny to just slim straight.

of course you kinda "remove" the taper by hemming. I would do it like aho said, get them hemmed again and see how it fits.

and about how much you should taper them...what leg opening do you want?!

Black Shadows

Soaking now..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's pre soak? already I fit I would like to have keep us updated!

[morse9443]

I'll put up a post soak shot in 1-2 weeks when I can fit into them. Need to do a little dieting to get back into my usual size.

The holidays have not been kind to my waist line b_f.

[kansas]

sam 500's just hemmed at Baldwin Denim in Kansas City. Great new flagship store!

BK's are looking RIGHTEOUS!

Ok morse those pics sold me that black Vx denim looks good, good thing I get paid on thursday.

Black Shadows

Just the tiniest bit disappointed that there's not a black tab, but oh well, mine should be here tomorrow and I can't wait!!! That denim is just plain sex.

[morse9443]

You guys will be psyched on these. The zero denim is slubby as hell. I soaked/dried them twice to get most of the shrink out, and they got darker each time. Had me wondering why I ever strayed from samurai to begin with. Fit is phenomenal.

Thanksgiving was only yesterday bub; your waist is already feeling it? :-)

[ranonranonarat]

morse that black shadows fit is definitely in my top two 710 fits. they look so damn good. might have cost an arm and a leg but i would say they are well worth the penny for the fit they make. good stuff!

[a salaam alaikum]

Morse how dark was your water when you soaked? Soaked mine yesterday and once I pulled them out I couldn't see through it at all. Never had a pair bleed that much from a soak.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes, pretty normal with the black zero denim

[a salaam alaikum]

Haha yes b_f. Pretty much exactly like that. Thanks for the pic, first pair of black zero for me. Can't wait for them to fully dry.

[morse9443]

it looked like i pulled them out of a vat of Guinness.

the way samurai dyes, you could probably soak them 50 times with no color loss.

[Alex3000]

The correct term is squid jizz. Oh and morse did they come with the new arcs? I can't even tell from the pictures on BiG

[morse9443]

Dyed with a billion squid sperm. That's why they're $50 more. Yes, arcs are the new ones.

[distort]

These came in on Friday.

pre.

post.

legendary jeans and

a great fit homie

[everyinchofgod]

Yay!

Sorry for the TERRIBLE iPhone 3GS pics. Didn't get home from work until after dark and I'm waaaayy too impatient to wait until tomorrow to take presoak pics. Soaking now, hopefully I can get some better post soak pics tomorrow, if it stops raining.
