I tried them! I uploaded a fit pic a few pages back of a pair of 710's (before they were hemmed), and even attempted to wear them for a bit. They were just too tight for me and sold them off.

size up? tried on a pair of fullcount 1101?

The problem with the sz 38 was the waist was too big, and the thigh was pretty much the same as the 36 in most of the charts I saw. And I already own a pair of the 1101's (sz 35) but they taper too strongly for my tastes. The 0105 would have been a better option if the rise wasn't so high. That's why I settled on the 0500, although I did hope for a tiny bit more taper.

the problem with samurai jeans is that. their 34 to 36 sizes are way big of a difference. their 36 could have been a 37 imho

I agree. I bought the 711's in 36 and finally decided to take them to a tailor to have the waist taken in.

My 710xx after a quick wash. Just over a year old, prob washed 4/5 times. haven't been wearing these as much as I've changed jobs where wearing jeans is frowned upon and I'm breaking in a pair of s0500xx. Cotton threads have gone on these all over the place, back pockets, front pockets, crotch etc. don't really mind as the fit & fabric is so good. Will always have a pair of 710xx in rotation

Apologies for shitty iPhone pics

Is there much stretching in the 17oz Zero denim?

Here are my 711's at six months. One wash and one soak.

How tall are you?

[sardonicsmirk 126]

How tall are you?

Pretty tall. 6'3 but I wear my pants a little lower than most people. I think the inseam on these is about 32.5 or 33

[Max Power 1,649,354]

My BKB arrived. Again, great service by Yuichi. I am disappointed by the small waist, only 34,5" at tagged 35". How much stretch can I ecpect from 17 oz? The other measurements are spot on.

 

W: 87cm

FR 30cm

BR: 41cm

T: 33,3cm

LO: 21,8 cm

IN: 89,5 cm (hemmed)

nice fit mate , shame about the waist but im sure you will get a little stretch from it after the wash ( more than likely back to pre soak ?? )

[Broark 16,996]

Looks like the blue stitching is a lot nicer than the product shots, hope they work out for you Max!

[Iron Horse 4,832]

Uh oh, it just got serious with Reign in Blood. 

[bradl 926]

Yes, killing it with the t.

Oh heH, jawnz are dope as well

[Max Power 1,649,354]

It's my third pair of 710s, the others were 34 and I thought I would be safe sizing up to 35. All measurements are perfect and roomy, but you can notice how slim the waist looks on the pictures. I think it must have been a mistake in the factory. I'll wether I can get a 36 instead, which might look pretty full in the legs then.

 

(Reign in Blood must be the most played album of my life. Got it in 1998 and ithasn't ceased to amaze me yet).

I had the same issue with the S510OG 16oz AK in size 32 I bought f/ 2nd. The raw waist size was barely 32.0". I was thinking it was maybe just that lot that had a small waist. I'd really like to get another pair - mainly because that denim is so rad - but I'm not sure if I should go with a 33 or 34... 

[spitfiredealer 2,306]

That's really harsh about the waist! As you say gotta be a mistake somewhere along the line.

I reckon a 36 would look too big on you. No chance of getting another 35 and getting them to check the waist first?

[Max Power 1,649,354]

I agree, a 36 would probably look off but I could hotwash it and shrink it a bit. I might give the 35 a soak with a Piece of Wood in the waist and see wether I can stretch them a bit. But I hate doing that.

 

Actually I had the waist checked and also compared to the BIG size Chart, but they're too small anyway.

Sorry to hear that Flo!

Usually the waist of a pair of Zero denim can be stretched beyond raw measurements but I am sure you are sick of doing such things

[louisbosco 326,503]

shame to hear about your sizing issues with this pair. your pair reminds me of my bkb 5000 i have in storage.

[Max Power 1,649,354]

Yeah, I'm sick of stretching stuff. But, on a lighter note, I didn't get hit with customs and Yuichi (and Saumrai) is out of 36s, so I might just try my luck in stretching them.

If the legs fit you fine you can use this http://www.amazon.com/Pant-Stretcher-Heavy-Instant-Stretch/dp/B00AZNK1RO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434635712&sr=8-1&keywords=waist+stretcher I used it for sizing down on mine. I also use it for all unsanforized jeans that I buy to help me with sizing.

I think I've heard Giles from Iron Heart say they use a bar clamp of some kind to stretch out tight waists in the heavy models, but I had no idea someone actually engineered something specific like that.

It actually works amazing. Other companies use plastic and they break. This is just old fashioned wood and steel. I don't think they had high end jeans in mind when they made it, but it is awesome. I actually stretched these from a 32 to a 36. This is an extreme example though.

This might help me with my Beatle Busters, they've always been just a touch too tight in the waist.
