Samurai Jeans

[Potsnu]

Going to hit up Take 5 in a few weeks when I go to HK. Most likely getting 2 pairs, but I'm torn for what to get for my straight/relaxed fit.

Now I currently have a pair of Skulls 5010xx and they're too slim for my taste. From what I can gather, Sammies aren't that slim in all their cuts. So when comparing to Skulls, the 710's should be more roomier right?

For straight cut, I'm torn between S5000 and S0510's. I don't have the biggest thighs, so I'm worried about the fit on the straight leg. Any input?

Thanks

If by chance any bigger ppl (meaning like size 40) are looking for some sams I am getting rid of my USA's: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=65124

Sucks to be out of the Samurai club, but on the other hand wearing jeans sized +5 isn't too hot.

For the moment I am giving all my attention to my F380's, but I see a pair of S5000vx's or something in my future

hey if these are available in a few weeks ill get these for my "little" brother

On the 610 - completely agree with akuma = at first you think that the thigh is going to be on the wide side - but actually - and that might be because ofthe lower rise - they just all really nicely - and make the whole jean look like a perfect straight fit...

The denim feels less slubby than the first texas cotton denim - but not less durable...very , very nice...

I took some quick fit pics...

Also - Samurai changed the size of the backpocket in order to keep te right proportions - very nice touch - so thebackpockets are slightly smaller / shorter than on any other model - thus you don't look like you have pockets that end up on ur thigh...

On the sizing - if ur in between - go for the smaller one...

from the pics looks like you got a 32 beatle dont you usually wear a 31 in samurais?

+rep on those S505XX Stacks

[MirrorLockUp]

If you are 1.) Skinny (sz 29); 2.) Short; 3.) Not into stacking (think 30 inch hemmed inseam); and 4.) Looking for a super cheap lightly worn (no serious fading) s0500xx, shoot me a private message.

I'm assuming no one will be interested, but just thought I'd put it out there.

Cool well let me know. I would kill to have this pair magically turn into like 35's

hey beatle do you happen to have a fit pic of the back on those? they look great!

[beatle]

Will try to take some back shots...

Yes - went with 32 - low rise - sits on the widest part of ur hips...plus - I´m not famous for wearing downsized jeans...lol

But I assume that the difference between hip and waist is´nt that big on most guys - thus I suggested that if u are in between sizes to go for the smaller one..

For reference - I measured the tagged 32

Presoak - exactly 16 inches (waist laid flat)

Postsoak - exactly 15

I liked the S5000VX over the 0510's. If you're looking for a true straight fit, non slim model then I suggest the S510xx. I grabbed the S510's over the S5000 because they had a bit more room. If you want a non-sufu straight cut go with the S510's. If you want a slightly slim straight cut go with the S5000VX. It also depends on how you size up/down on the models.

[craiggg]

trying to make some sense from BiG, but there are just too many models to take in.

want something with a 28 waist, slight taper or straight, 8inch hem, .. so not a slim jeans, i want something a little wider.

whats out there, will the usa model do?

[bye4now12]

S0500 or S5000

please delete didn't mean to post;

[coleslawyum]

So the 0510 is roomier than the 5000vx? Thats good to know. I always thought it was the other way around. My 5000vx's sure feel hella baggy. Anyway, here's some new Samurai stash I got from my visit to 2nd to feed my addiction.

[edmond]

hold on wait you got a 34 and a 38? how come? nice copping! whats the one beside the collab?

[coleslawyum]

^Thanks Ed. Its the 0500. The one at the bottom is just a denim bag made of spare parts. Yeah, the collab was for a friend. I'm the fat ass.

[edmond]

your a fatass? your not buddy your just right!

nice cop again! did you get to see some special stuff at 2nd?

[edmond]

and yeah did they give you some freebies???

[coleslawyum]

Yessir, they are very cool peoples at 2nd. Ise-san has always been on point. There's one staff member there that spoke very fluent English, which for some reason, I didn't run into a lot when I was in Tokyo. It's a tiny store, so I think they do a whole lot of business on the internet. Got packages going out like every hour.

[beatle]

hey beatle do you happen to have a fit pic of the back on those? they look great!

Okay - poor pic - but u'll get the idea,,,,

Tried to get a shot of the back / seat ..just to give u an idea about the postition of the backpockets - and the yoke..blury - but what the hell

[youkinorn2]

Something old:

USAs. Had them since mid-March. Not constant wear (summer is hot). Washed 3 times, I think, not including the first machine wash/dry to get rid of shrinking.

The pictures all came out a little light/washed out.

Something new:

s0500xx, I would say they are unsoaked, but the flasher should probably give it away.

Going to keep wearing the USAs mostly for a long while.

[beatle]

Congrats on the new one - and kudos to the old one - especially the arcs...they came out nice...

Thanks. I'm no where near done with them, though. I'm not even going to soak the 500s for a while. Want to put some more serious wear in the USAs. They are just starting to look good.

excuse the slippers..LOL

ditto to both those things. i like how the pockets have been made slightly wider & shorter, and warped diagnally. it looks a bit wonky before you put em on, but after they look perfect. only problem is i feel like my wallet is poking out all the time lol!

the extra room in the hips was a little different to get used to. i'm used to wearing my beater nudie svens that have very straight hips. the hip flare goes away after the first week though.

believe it or not i only soaked them it near boiling water then i threw them straight into a hot DRYER. no indigo lost except the blue that rubbed off in my dryer, but the best thing is i'm willing to bet there is absolutely no more shrinkage left.

they were so stiff and dense after the dry but they feel great now that the creases have settled in.

they should have the english-speaking guy handle the north american orders ffs!!! jesus, it was like pulling teeth when i accidentally pulled $300 from the wrong (empty) checking account via paypal, and e-mailed them about 20 times trying to say "DO NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT OR I'M FUCKED" in japanese.

and the UK orders.

Did it all go well in the end?

Yeah I know what you mean. So many people working at the stores look at me like I'm crazy when I try to explain something. But for the most part with some patience on their part I was able to explain in my broke-ass Japanese what I'm looking for. I think the person at 2nd can speak quite well, but reading and writing is a whole other story. I can speak okay but can't read a lick in Japanese.
