Yeah, me too. Would be ideal for work I reckon...

Pre-soak fit pics of my S710xx's, size 36. They are lot 10, and I'm kind of disappointed because they're a bit smaller than what I was expecting.

Opinions? I won't have post soak pics for a bit as I'm not soaking these for a week or two, we're doing a mini contest on another forum I'm on (I know, ghey right).

[midnight 13,548]

Those look surprisingly loose to me for 710's. They'll look slimmer post soak im sure. How low are you wearing them?

[bye4now12 418]

They're worn at my true waist.

I also sized way the fuck up. I'm a true 33-34, and about a 34.5-35 at my hips where I wear my jeans.

I guess we'll just see post soak, I'll be sure to post pictures when I do soak

[m1sterko 20,313]

try returning if thats not the fit you want.

it'll stay at a 36 waist no?

[bye4now12 418]

I'm not worried about the waist, I've got some fatty thighs so I need to size up in things. I bought them from 2nd so i can't return anyways. I'm just going to see how they look post soak, the stiffness of them also makes them sit a lot higher than where I really wear my jeans so that might help too.

When I said smaller, I meant in the thigh/leg, not in the waist. Waist will be fine

[anhtice 856]

i sorta regret getting mine hemmed but its a new look (i always let my jeans hang and layer up). I forgot to take presoak pics and just soaked em.. 3x

[grasp 16]

thanks for all the comments and help..

i do not mean to compare the samurai with thin finn.

i know i won't regret on getting samurai.

i just want a smaller leg opening as i'm into slim or skinny cut.

i think i will have to get a 710s...

710 is a slim cut, but you're getting criticism because with that aesthetic in mind, samurai is probably not best suited for what you're looking.

[dino might 1,253,914]

^i own both in the same waist size and denim weight. the leg openings are pretty similar but the 510 has a bigger top block and significantly higher rise, feel much less fitted up top, more like clasic 501 silhouette, 5000s cut a bit more modern and straight. both are awesome

[daveo 9,686]

Is there such a thing as a Samurai that's got the looser top block/longer rise but smaller leg opening when compared to 5000VX?

[dino might 1,253,914]

dont think so. but maybe 0500? i dont know, dont have it.

[Dick Danger 36,550]

I have 5000BKs and the S0500, they have totally different looks (other than the color).

The 0500XX is what you are looking for.

[dino might 1,253,914]

dick, yeah but the 0500 top/thighs are fuller and hems smaller than the 5000 comparatively no?

[AndrewLD 306]

bandwith is exceeded

[Turntabloid 65,323]

bye4now12,

let me know about the postsoak measurements!

i actually wanted to order a 36, but BiG is sold out on those.

if they do not fit you, i might be interested - usually all japanses brands fit me with a 36.

i am nevertheless curious what exactly is meant by slim fit with those jeans?!

no slim in that fit - at least from your pics!

[arem 80,789]

710s are only slim relative to other Samurai cuts, they aren't really slim fitting, especially as you get into the bigger sizes. Size 36 and 38 710s look like size 30 or 32 510s on the people I've seen, including myself.

[epitaph220 144,623]

from all the input, I think I'll just hem 'em 2 inches on the 5xxxCX

still want me some stacking

[AndrewLD 306]

So I just got my 710s size 31 in the mail today... was expecting lot 11's, but they are 10's...

Here are some pre-soak pics. I can't take any post soaks yet because I am in a contest on another forum. But do you think these will be OK? Or should I try and sell them?

This is how much room I have... but they are hiked up a lot.

so what does everyone think?

[chantheman 1,816,843]

what kind of look are you going for?

[AndrewLD 306]

I think they will fit amazing in the legs after a soak, but I am just afraid about the waist being way too tight.

I really like the slim look, so that's what I was going for.

[Knugget 433,725]

Don't worry. Have faith. It will be okay. You're going to be fine. I cannot think of any other general optimistic lines.

You have more room than me in pre-soak state. Do a hot soak, suck it up and wear them. If they are SUPER tight after your hot soak, BUT you can button them up, sleep in them. They will stretch out comfortably eventually.

[Dick Danger 36,550]

I cannot think of any other general optimistic lines.

A river of shit can be a good thing. If you make it to shore you'll come out stronger than ever, if you drown all your problems are solved. Either way things can only get better.

how long should I soak them for? 1 hour? And should I turn them inside out like every other raw denim?

thanks

[grouse_allergy 219,328]

That's the spirit, Dick! Somehow, though, 'shit' analogies never get to me. I can't help but picture it as just chocolate. Maybe because there would never be a river of shit. (but a river of chocolate? duh!)

[Dick Danger 36,550]

yeah well, dead is dead, doesn't matter if you die covered in shit or chocolate

unless you're involved in an unfortunate recreational enema misfire

[CrashTestBrummie 1,278,200]

unless you're involved in an unfortunate recreational enema misfire

I hate it when that happens...being shot down by a shower of shit is never the way forward...
