Samurai Jeans

[arem]

Went to BiG today, tried on the Lot 12 500xx and 505's. They are both really beautiful jeans and I had a seriously hard time choosing between them. In the end I went with the 500's, the 505 are just a hair slimmer and with shrinkage I thought it was going to be just a bit too skinny for my build. Judgement call though, and if you are thinking about buying them don't hesitate, they are awesome.

That said here's post hot wash fit pics of my 500's, size 34 and that's pretty much true to size. I'm 6' tall, 190 lbs:

Totally off-topic, but I purchased an expedit shelf like that to store my records on and it broke. Ikea says 29lb/shelf max but I think that's already pushing it. For now I've been sticking with intermetro shelving...

If you notice I'm pretty careful not to stuff each cube with records. If I wanted I could squeeze another 15-20 records in each, but I think that would be pushing it too far. But yeah, they definitely aren't the sturdiest shelves for vinyl.

my friend had me pick him up a pair while Im in japan.

[chantheman]

whats the 519 mean on the tag? are they individually numbered?

[Quinnskimo]

Jesus....24 oz. I really can't imagine. I'm wearing my 17oz 5000vx today that I got back in....2005 or 2006, I can't remember. And damn do they feel good, but way heavier than my 14.5 oz Onis. And tighter on my balls, but in a comforting way, like a semi-firm handshake. Fucking Samurais....maybe I'll get another pair. They just feel so right.

totally fucked up that i said this yesterday. skated over to the library a couple hours later, went to the bathroom and looked down to find that my crotch had completely exploded. like a bomb went off and the only thing that kept my dick from getting ripped apart were these heavy ass jeans that once were. an absolute tragedy for me and my 3 year old denim. both sides ripped, with the center seem the only thing keeping it intact. now i need a new pair of jeans for a backup. will update with pics when i can find my fucking card reader.

arem did you go true to size for your 0500s?

[arem]

Pretty much, my true size is probably between 33-34. I could have done these in a 33 but I wanted the little bit of extra room.

i tear rolled down my eye at those 24oz pictures, so beautiful

Ok well it has been about a month ina half since I got them. Ive been very busy with work and school so ive only been able to wear for 8-10 hours a week.

I have been on 2 vigerous bike rides so far, which I think has kept them on track in aging.

I need some quick size help!

I've wanted a pair of S5000vx's for quite some time. I'm a Natural 33." I wear PBJ XX-005 in in 33, SDA SD-103 in 33, SC's in 32, APC NS in 31, BiG sufu 660 in 31. All have stretched out to around a 34" waist.

I bought a pair of Lot 10 S5000Vx's from 2nd, ( now in supermarket) in size 32. Hoping that these might work . Of course they did not.

The leg were great but there was no way I was ever going to get the stretch I needed in the waist. Now that Lot's 11 and 12 are available would size 32 be right or should I go for a 33?

How much will the Lot 11/12's shrink after soaks and how much will they stretch out ?

Thanks!

I'm not a noob, so please don't trash me.

[opethrapture]

Vx denim stretches ALOT so when not give it a shot?? You could always just give them a cold soak!

[Pauken4]

They would need to stretch out 3" to be right. I think I'd be better of with Lot11 or 12.

Anyone have Lot 11 or 12 in a size 32? ? How did they stretch?

Yours are definitely some of the best. Emperor's look pretty good as well, but his look like he might have helped the fade along with a little rubbing or something. The creases look a bit too crisp.

[salaami]
