Samurai Jeans

[arem]

What about color loss? During the first soak the water was like pitch black. I hate losing color. Will they still be really dark after a wash?

They'll be plenty dark, these jeans retain their color really well when they haven't been worn much.

Why is there no S0505XXII love in this thread? Nobody bought them?

I tried them on when I bought my 500's. They're really nice, a little slimmer than the 500's. I just preferred the slubbiness and the button fly of the 500's.

so how did they turn out pre soak ? Hella tight waistband ?

did a 1 hour hot soak last night and i have to say they shrank down perfectly. i got my 31" inseam (from the 33" that 2nd hemmed) and just a little tightening up everywhere else. i was looking for something a tad more relaxed than my 710's and i think i achieved it. to answer your question beatle, the waist was tight but with a bit of effort i was able to button them while they were a little damp and some movement loosened them up nicely!

will post fit pics and post-soak measurements when i get home later.

Those look sick, Alley.

[beatle]

great..always happy to see a new pair .to me it's still the best jeans Samurai's ever made

[Planet Mental]

anyone have advice about sizing down 1 on the 710s? Fucked up on measuring my waist and im actually 2 sizes bigger than i thought. The only problem is that I have skinnier legs so I dont know how a 30 would fit.

[Episode3]

i went true to size and they are straight slim, if u follow the sizing advice on page 1..

"S710 - true to size for slim fit, down 1 for very slim fit"

so down 2 for "this is so tight i can't even put on" fit

Crossposting my pic from How do jeans fit thread..

I figured everyone was asking for a S0505XXII fit so here you go. These were post 2nd initial soak.

TTS, 32. Maybe slightly up half a size (since BiG only had 30 and 32), but I like the fit since I wanted something looser. Going on a month and a half now. Before anyone jumps on my throat, yes, it came from BiG with arcs and tabs.

I went TTS on S710BK and it was pretty snug for me initially after first soak.

Dasayalay,

Lucky you with tabs on 0505XXX2 from BIG.

I got arcs, which seems to be standard, from BIG on my 0505XX2. No tabs though.

[JSFU]

dasaylay, how much have those stretched?

Yeah, Gordon said the tabs slip by easily, but only a few with the tabs make it by. I picked mine up from the NYC store itself, so I was able to choose which pair to cop.

dasaylay, how much have those stretched?

Surprisingly, not that much since I'm wearing them pretty lose. It's a nice change away from the slimmer cuts we see around here on sufu such as APC NS, Skull 6x6, etc. If anything, they've stretch out slightly in the thighs but I wear a belt so the waist stays pretty much the same.

Ok, Ordered the S0140XJ from 2nd true to size.

We'll see how they fit. Gonna hold off wearing them for a bit though.

everyone wants s0500

been wanting some

[Acquisition X]

I've been wearing my 710x2nd for a while, and I haven't seen much progress.

It's been three months, one pre-soak, and one soak. I'll post some pics tomorrow with sunlight.

Looking forward to it, those are the ones that were cut like the 510 right?

Allegedlly.

Btw thanks for all the comments and +rep guys. I got a ton.

Ta daaaaaa

24oz magic tricks.

[lance]

Beautiful, this has got to be a first!

[technicolor]

While I was heading out the door last night I figured I would capture a few photographs of the Samurai s510xx 24oz doing what they do best.. Just hanging out.

Sorry about the poor quality. My lens is filthy and I had terrible lighting conditions.

[501cult]

Cool pics, and jeans that make me lusting for them. Why not a single pic from the back, with so many from the front?

[khoiphan92]

i need some size 29 or 30 sams. who got some for sale.

[aho]

that is some serious denim...

[Alex3000]

Allegedlly.

Looking forward to seeing them man, have you soaked your pair yet?

[salaami]

the weft side of the 24oz. looks bluer than the usual samurai denim...and the red selvage lame looks beefier.

[khoiphan92]

how much does it cost for shipping if i buy directly from rakuten.

[sixsixtie]

Nah, sorry wasn't clear. Just ordered them. Should get them this week or next.

[Solix]

Did the math and my two purchases from 2nd and each purchase was ~$30 more than the price of the jawnz. I suspect paypal fees are in there, along with shipping. If that helps any..
