Sam 710. 9months

[edmond]

i hope my samurai s510xx will fit like these

[salaami]

the 510 cut CAN look like this if sized down. note how fitted dude's waist is. it's technically perfect, but most cats who buy the 510 cut don't realize how roomy it really is. i made the mistake and got a 30 instead of a 28. now i just get a 28 in all jawns regardless. what is that denim bag contraption he has on? that is fire! is that wallet really that huge?

[edmond]

that wallet is really huge ill try to size down on my next s510xx purchase.

yes that sam denim pouch same one i have you can buy it thru them! samurai.com

[rnrswitch]

Yep, Yep, it appears that the 21oz denim is great!. I have the 510s and the stuff holds its indigo well through washes.

How are you going to bash my sams in the SAMURAI thread brian

[sense.]

sixsixtie - incredible man, just amazing.

have you needed to repair them at all?

they look tough enough to go another year.

[weiyung]

got my samurai s5000ai-10sp they are awesome! very nice color but really stiff after a cold soak, they shrank a lot when I first soaked them but they stretched back to tagged size minus 1, the length is perfect for me 34 inches with 1 inch to cuff

No, no major repairs thus far. Did a few stitches in the crotch just to keep the seems from coming apart but the denim hasn't ripped at all. Will probably need a patch in the next 2-3 months. We'll see I guess.

My top button actually popped off about 2 weeks in. I hammered it back on and its been loose ever since, though its never came off.

I had to repair mine with solder on my 5000 21oz

how much should one size down on the s510xx if i'm a true w32/33?

any advice guys?

[rnrswitch]

any advice guys?

It appears from looking at how your jeans fit that you like your jeans a bit baggy. I would recommend going with a 32 and hot soaking or washing. I am a true 31 and I went with a 33 in Lot 10, which measured 33 prior to a wash. It then shrunk down to a 31. I love the fit. Nice and loose. So depending on how the jeans are sized, i don't know the current lots measurements, but buy the jeans so that they are an inch to 2 inches too big prior to soak, then let them shrink to their intended size.

BTW, I buy my jeans to fit the way the designer intended. None of this sizing down 2 and going through pain in the waist to get the right fit in the legs. Or tapering a straight leg jean. If you don't like the intended fit then go with another cut.

[ssheat]

I completely agree in many ways, the 510 is not by any means a slim cut, and all jeans should first be made to fit in the waist, there's enough variety for that. But for the people who are buying the 510 more for its denim and stylistic features than the cut (most), some of whom may want to try to attain a somewhat slim fit, can only do so by sizing down. Bunga, if you're solidly in between a 32 and 33, I would get the 32.

[opethrapture]

any advice guys?

I would get a 32

[bunga]

thanks for the advice guys, appreciate it.

i agree wholeheartedly with what rnrswitch said, if it's a straight cut then it's meant to be worn that way. i'm a true 32, i have a pair of s5000vx 17oz in w33, they're not too baggy by all means but perhaps could be a tad more tighter in the thigh area and with other denim such as Denime XX, Warehouse Warrens etc i found that 32 fits me the best, not too snug on the waist and just enough room on the thighs and knees to allow me to bend down and tie my shoes without having to suck my gut in and hold my breath.

32 it is then!

[akuma no uta]

is this a fucking denim parka?

sssooooooo badasssss

[salaami]

i think the fit of the thighs(upper) is the most important fit factor, because it is a less controllable aspect. if the waist is a bit loose, so what get a belt/suspenders. if it's a bit tight, it will likely stretch. but if the upper-thighs/crotch are too tight thats an issue of major concern. but most importantly is the wisdom to buy jeans that are cut to fit your body. a lot of dudes that aren't slim try to force the 'slim look' but end up looking dumb. just because a jean looks good to you(in your own mind) stop fooling your self that your WH660s or FH310s sized down 3 are really ''quite comfy''.

if i had that sam parka i would wear it for the next 5 years at least.
