tried searching for his threads but it said he was an invalid user...? :confused:

would you happen to remember this technique or know a good technique to get the maximum shrinkage out of S5000VX's? let me know man thanks

throw them in the goddamn washer on hot no soap!

jeez......................................

[sixsixtie]

Ok, as promised.

Samurai 5000vx 21oz

10months wear 4 washes 2 soaks

One wash was one week in due to spilling bbq sauce first real wash after that was 6 months then a couple times since then.

Worn every single day. Pics arent that great because they havent quite regained their shape since the last wash. Also I managed to snap 3 incredibly blurry combs pics so I won't get around to posting back shots until I take new pics.

^nice. velly nice...

[.jacob]

i wouldnt worry about it. theyre going to stretch so much its going to blow your mind and you will wonder why you even worried.

Thanks. I'll do another hot soak tomorrow for 45 minutes and throw in a pot or two of boiling water.

I line dried until damp and then wore them until they fully dried. This second time should I tumble dry them in a dryer until damp and then wear to dry or just repeat the same drying process as the first time?

and another pair of great sams!

[littlebigman]

did you hem and then have it reattached or what is going on there?

[snoppkaparN]

reinforcement?

reinforcement?

I had them hemmed yes and the were so torn were I had cuffed them so this was the best option.

I'm gonna start wearing them uncuffed once I give them another wash and then the it wont be as visible as it is now...

[.jacob]

Alright, I manned up and followed this man's advice:

Hot Wash, extended cycle, inside out, no spin cycle

hang dry

They're line drying now.

[lowrider]

^^you'll be fine. if you go back a few pages you'll see the fit of my Sammy and that was after a 45 min hot soak while wearing the jeans. last night i did a 2hr boiling hot soak (obviously w/o me wearing them) and line dried. the fit is abso-fucking-lutely perfect now.... just need to hem or cuff.

[Solix]

Does Samurai make a relaxed fit? I need a fullcut, comparable to AW Cougars.

Might be a bit late, but the Cougars have a pretty strong taper. Closest you'll get is the 0500.

Edit: Was late.

does anyone have the contact email for BiG?

i sent them 4 emails in the last couple of days (the one from the "contact us" part of the webstie) but no response to even one of them.

i am looking to buy a pair of S710bk's and read that they still have sizes avaialable and that you have to email gordon from BiG.

does anyone have gordons direct email or BiG's direct email? thank you.

Just call, dude.

[kjell.wick]

Had these since christmas probaly around 2 months of wear. I wish I had before pictures cause these went fuckin nuts in the wash. They were real dark before with just a little white poking through.

[Guest Mr Snowcap]

damn, does anyone know where to cop some S710BK's in size 31 or 32? 2nd & BiG are sold out along with all the stores on Rakuten. should i email some of the japanese stores to see if they have them?

thanks guys

[Alex3000]

I think they were a special edition. If you can wait a few months BIG is working on their new collab with Samurai basically its a 710BK with all black stitching patch and hardware there's going to be about 90-100 pairs if i remember what Gordon told me.

damn, any word on a specific release date? are they gonna have hidden arcs?

emailed gordon but no response...

[rtst]

been a minute. lotta good pairs seen in the last few pages.

I need to shoot some natural light shots again, but I shot with an external flash and this is close to true color as I could get it:

710s

8 months

2 washes-1 soak

[Alex3000]

He said a summer release last time I sole with Gordon he said that the weren't sure on arcs yet. Also those 710s look Amazing great job in them

[Broke_folk]

rtst- good stuff on the 710's..+ rep

[Joweee]

you looked through 588 pages, are you sure?

Nope. I used the "search this thread" function =]. I figured it would be the second most effective choice.

[IM SOLE CRAZY]

Damn, I really can't wear these samurais any more. Anyone interested in a pair of 610s ?

[jjkchung]

rtst, very nice.

+rep

[Setone]

510 21oz - 2 soaks, 2 machine wash

About 6months of office wear.

(Amateur) Pic taken in natural light. They're a actully bit darker in person

[the_ming]

Nope. I used the "search this thread" function =]. I figured it would be the second most effective choice.

yeah, it probably was the better choice. i on the other hand actually *did* read the whole thread. but i still haven't decided which ones i want to get when i go back to japan next may.

i guess i'm leaning towards the S710, but i may be to much of a fatty fatty pom pom for them. i have plenty of time to decide.

oh, those all black ones from BiG sound wicked. might be tough to resist those. probably too much to hope for that they come with a red tag though.
