Samurai Jeans

Be patient, everything will settle with time.

I'm getting some serious hipflare from my S710XX's. Any idea if this settles down over time, or should I look at alterations?

There should be some hip flare with a new pair of raw, but serious hip flare is an indication of  wrong cut or incorrectly sized pair. 

 

Fit pics would help to provide further feedback.

What is hip flare -- where the material pokes out at the sides of the hips?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes

I think it is deer skin but I can't find where I read that now.

[FLDenim211]

i believe BiG says its a deer skin patch. Don't quote me.

Is the price significantly higher than the standard S710XX?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If I rememebr correctly, round about 7,000 Yen

Dang, was hoping to have these before my trip. Wonder when Yuchi will be getting them....

[604_skyline]

are they doing a 711OG?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no

[JohnM]

Thanks for the price differential bf. That's a bit of a bump for organic cotton but I guess organic is always limited and more expensive whether it's milk or jeans ;-)

Yuichi sent me an email this morning letting me know they're in, pretty excited.

Me too. I just hope they fit right. And I wonder why the manufacturers of great denim (and great cameras) always share blurry pictures. The colour is still hard to tell.

Kind of looks like stacks of cocaine after a huge cartel bust.  Equally addictive and dangerous...

Yeah, just got it as well. Don't want to risk it taking a while to get here, so getting it sent to Van. But wondering what I should do for hem, looking for like 31.5" post soak. Should I just play it safe and get it hemmed 34"?

[JohnM]

Trying to decide between 34 and 35 on the 710OG.  I have a pair of size 35 S710XX -- very comfortable, a little roomy in the waist, just right in the thighs and upper legs.  The 34 would probably be marginally better in the waist but I'm a little concerned about the upper leg.  Is the 710, in general, considered a trim and tapered cut where the limiting factor is often in the upper leg?  If so, I might be better off sticking with the 35.

 

Also, will the 710 likely continue to shrink with additional washing and line drying?  So far, I've only warm/hot soaked and machine washed (cold) the S710XX one time.  I realize that the OG is an altogether different denim that may respond differently.

 

Appreciate the input.

Thigh 31.5cm

Leg opening 20cm

I sized down on my S710 and I regret it now, the thighs are quite tight and crotch is in major need of a overhaul.

 

Going TTS for my S710

 

I must be dyslexic, because that 32 seems bigger than my 33. Getting Yuchi to confirm measurements before I do anything more....

Yeah they seem to be 1 size off in the waist and thigh. Those measurements came from Yuichi though.... Guess I am going with a 31 instead of 32. I'm usually in between those two sized any way. 19oz 710 size 32 too big in the waist and 31 too small in the thigh. Hopefully these work out.

[Max Power]

Yuichi told me that the 710og in 34 measures 92 cm in the waist, 98 cm inseam and 32,5 in rhe thighs. So a bit larger than the 710xx. But we dont know about shrinkage...its still a gamble but it seems that sizing down is possible. I embrace the extra room however.

[JohnM]

Similarly Max, Yuichi told me the 34 was about 36" and the 35 was about 37".  I'm torn between the two since I can handle the smaller waist of the 34 but not sure if the upper leg will be too trim.

Mine are on the way from Yuichi, just went true to size as I don't want something too slim.

Looking forward to my first pair of Samurai jeans, I'll make sure to post some photos too!

Also highly recommend ordering from Yuichi at Pirates, my first time ordering and it was very easy and great communication.

[bradl]

Ugh wish those could just be the same mewsurements as xx as it would make this a lot easier... Want slim but don't want same ordeal as 710.

You won't be disappointed by yuichi ! Waiting for the measurements myself, hopefully it will be alright. Looking forward owning my first pair of Sammie's too

Waiting on answer from the man but will probably take size 34 too and pay tomorrow
