Samurai Jeans

[bespoke]

Guys,

I'm seriously considering the S5000BKBs. I have the Samurai 19oz regular straight fit and love them. I prefer a vintage loose dungaree fit (straight leg , no taper and high waist). I also have the MF California Lot 54 and the Flat Head 3005 Straight Classics. Will the S5000BKBs be too slim? Thanks for your help.

Most of all their rise will be too narrow and the thighs maybe too slim. But as they come with only very little taper, you'd get the full leg, similar to the 510 (which are your 19 straight fit).

I embrace it, a great detail that you rarely get elsewhere.

not this rust man. Left my jeans damp in a humid room overnight and the rust that grew was so bad it was chunky and smeared

Give it a gentle wipe with some wire wool and you'll be dandy.

New Samurai shirt from 2nd.  Great quality.

Hey Hey Hey,

 

I just purchased a pair of:

 

Samurai Jeans - 19oz Slim Fit Boot Cut S512XXBC

 

I have soaked them in warm water for an hour and they shrunk a tiny bit.

 

Is it ok to have them hemmed at this point? I'd rather not cuff them.

 

Do I have to worry about them shrinking even more when I wash them in a year?

 

I don't want "High-waters" if ya feel me.

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hey - thanks for using the samurai or small questions thread ...once soaked it's ok to hem, give them extra 0.5 inches and you'll be good

Edit - moved to samurai thread😎

Just don't change up your washing/soaking method. I hot soaked my 19oz 710s, got some shrinkage (1.5" in length), then hot washed them in a washer and got another 1.5" of shrinkage.

#1 reason why soaking a pair of unsanf jeans at the start is a horrible idea. 1 or two trips through the washer is an absolute must. The one thing that 99% of people don't understand, is that it's not the spin cycle that takes out the indigo it's the miles.

[itsbenhere]

Whatever you plan on doing in the future (if even once) that wil get the most shrinkage, you need to do that now. If you ever want to wash them, just wash them now to see how much shrink you'll get.

I'd be surprised if after regular soak you didn't get more shrinkage in the future.

The time is here for some new boot socks, (after my Toys McCoys ones lost all elasticity rather soon) so I got these Samurai ones. Safe to say they're my favorite socks yet, though pricey.

Nice socks Iron Horse, I have had that exact pair for about 6 months now and I love them. They have held up very nicely so far, although they did turn the inside of a pair of sneakers blue when I first got them.

I think I'm going to need some blue suede shoes now.

Fuck, meant to +rep.

Current 710 BKB fit - they're really comfyand neither too slim nor too wide IMO.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I can’t see shit about the fit but a lovely scenerey so you get that +rep you deserve

[Max Power]

They feel slimmer than they look, as slim as I can take it at the moment. If I get my WH back I can send them to you to try them on. Though I don't feel like sending Jeans in parcels anymore.

[Flash]

carrier pigeon would be the safer option with your luck  

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That’s the reason why I am hesitant to send you the SugarCane Okinwa and the Resolute 710 (where there any other models we were talking about?!)

[Max Power]

Just These two. And the old Evisu maybe.

never expected the socks to actually loose indigo in this way... hope you didnt have too much trouble cleaning the sneakers

how far are you guys apart? i mean in germany and to think you guys have unlimited limits on the autobahn. travelling would be so much faster than takes less time than a parcel no??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Roughly 800 km one distance. So it would be possible to drive that distance in a day and the other day back. But then I “lost†2 days, paid over 150 € for gas and would be mad exhausted.

So I better bring it to the post office, pay 6,90 € and he would have the package 1-2 days later (that’s how long it usually takes…not regarding Flo’s bad luck ).

 

Oh, and yes in general we don’t have a speed limit on the German Autobahn but there are so many stages where you are only allowed to drive e.g. 120 km/h (based on the risk in that area). And a lot more construction zones where you are only allowed to drive 60 or 80 km/h.

And there was one famous trip to Berlin, that ended up in me almost losing my driver's license again. Right beside me (and pixeled out in the Police photography) ^that guy. But the trip got me my first 710XX and the A-103 belt, so it was worth it.

^^ fair enough guys. 800kms is quite a travel. if it was 400 each way, could be done in a day i reckon. postage makes more sense then. (bad luck aside. haha)

 

oh i would so love to visit germany one day and have a go on the autobahn...

you never forget your first. but the experience is well worth it in some cases...

[gfarina55]

Hope I'm not breaking any rules posting here, but I haven't gotten much response in the Supermarket. I have basically new S0500 17oz. and S5000VX 21oz. Zero denim both in 34w, both chain stitch hemmed to 34L. Both are too big for me...looking to sell or swap for a something similar in a smaller size. Anyone interested? 

Edited October 30, 2015 by gfarina55

[poshy]

I thought the Zero denim was only the 17oz that was available on the S5000VX, S3000VX and S711VX?  

 

Speaking of S5000VX, here are mine at about 2.5 months after the first wash:

 

 

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I am more surprised about the S0500XX in 17oz.

Do you have any more information?

[spitfiredealer]

Is there a sizing chart anywhere for the 710 DMO?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Denimio said you should refer to the standard 710 chart. Since they are probably aren’t produced yet, you won’t find a chart
