Samurai Jeans

[selaviso]

theyre extremely stiff. all of my jeans could do that after their first hot soak

hes talking about the minimal shrinkage

[JayDC7]

not his fault, i didn't make it clear until i edited my post.

[morse9443]

what? how is that possible...

I'm not sure either. BIG says they should shrink to 36 inseam, but 1 hour in hot water only got me to 38? Go figure.

No hidden arcs, black stealth arcs on these.

We need either a Samurai sizing thread, or people need to ask these questions in the "How do jeans fit..." thread.

COTTON DUCK...Please help.

cosigned. can people not read anymore?

where the hell did the samurai model lineup thread go? im bouta click "unsubscribe" jeezus

indeed

they are really fun.

cosign... I actually like the effect a lot.

hidden arcs are sewn into pocket liner between denim and outer pocket. looks like pretty heavy yarn chainstitched possibly might be wire woven in. good idea of faded look here:

they arent all the same. the first hidden arcs in the USA model are embroidered, though others (710bk) have wire in them

since they were doing it anyways, why didn't they keep with the hidden arcs?

one issue with them ive heard is that the thicker/more intense wire type ones faded faster/incongruently with the rest of the jean and can tend to stand out more than some care for

qft. my bk's have pretty much no fading except for my arcs which are solid grey. i like the look alot actually. only have about 10-15 wears in them though

is there anyway to get one's hands on a red tab? I got mine from BIG.

(sounds like I'm asking about drugs)

Import from Japan, easiest way is www.e2nd.net by emailing them at [email protected] with easy English and a web translation to Japanese with it (they do not speak English).

^^ Thanks, but I meant just the red tab, to sew onto my jeans.

[islandboi8204]

that's so bootleg. either buy a new pair with the tab, or just embrace not having a red tab that'll just fall off after a few months of hard wear. i'd go with the latter.

just got my 0500's in today but they were delivered to my house and im at school:(.

ill post pics this weekend.

710's from the new BIG shipment. 38.5 inseam hot soak shrunk to only 38. Sending back to have 5 inches lopped off. Nice to have a pair with a little higher rise than my 500's or 103's

whatcha mean by new shipment? like lot 12? unless they suddenly decided to start sanforizing their denim, you didn't get all the shrink out of those if they only shrunk 0.5"

[b00th]

which lot is 2nd currently on?

[Hulk]

I got a lot10 for my 0500's

[dibadiba]

just a quick update on my s710xx. roughly 2.5 months, worn 5 days a week or so.

its impossible, unless someone on here would give you one, i emailed samurai about it and they said theyd like to help me out, but it would be breaking the levis agreement

Still lot 11, just a re-stock.

That's what I'm wondering, is how a one hour, piping hot soak only got them from 38.5 to 38. I doubt another soak will bring them down two more inches to the 36 stated on BIG's site.

I had the same issue with a pair I recently ordered from BiG. The inseam had shrunken down a bit more, but the waist remained petty much the same size.

[Guest xtreme588]

^ it might be worth it to just do a warm or hot wash if you wanna get all the shrinkage out

[party pooped]

Samurai S710's, ~9 months, 1 soak, 1 wash.

[rockon99]

So its not evo, or wear, or repair post or anything but i thought it was worthy of the samurai thread. x-posted from the photography thread in superculture:

i just purchased a 710xx from BIG and i email samurai about red tab, they aswer me that, as i live in france, they could send me a red tab to sew on my jeans cause the levis agreement is just for usa.

bored at work...

took some pics of my lap...

Samurai 710 ::: 8 months ::: 4 Washes

[Showmann]

hey guys, i wear usually a size 31, but all the jeans i have that are size 31 have a waist of 32.5-33' and i have about 3.5' of excess waist, im thinkin about buying a s710xx, but with that much excess waist on my size 31s, should i be getting a size 30 on samurais to play safe, or should i be getting size 29s for a much better, less baggy fit? Thanks

[Bigyen]

^^ Look as the first PAGE!!!!!

put them through the hottest wash you can followed by the hottest dry you can to get them good and shrunken. don't be a baby. anyone who says you can't put your jeans in the dryer is a baby. (not a great habit for EVERY wash, but for the initial shrinkage, yes.)

i did! But its saying that i should go for my true to size, but i dont know my true to size! If size 31 gives me 33' waist (which is quite baggy btw) and i have 4 inches of excess waist, i donno my TTS!

[hollowsleather]

So what you mean to say is that you're looking at buying your first pair of pants?

[Showmann]

well, the s710xx will be my first slim fit ones, so yes

agreed. my 0500 kept shrinking after 3 hand washes, and didnt get to its final size until another machine wash and hot dry. if you hem them now youll be sorry later.
