^^ WOW, I hope my 710s turn out like that.

Speechless* Well said...

[Acquisition X]

Lambs, those look great. I wish my 710s were looking those right now.

The Lot 10 were produced a couple of times and varied each time so it's hard

to say exactly how these Lot 11 and 12 compare, but I've not noticed much

difference from then to now so you may consider the same size as the other

pairs you currently own.

slow but good progress on my s0500. I got them last November, but they have been in rotation with my USAs and other more summery leg garments. Initial wash for shrinkage and one additional machine wash.

[erk]

just dropped off my s5000vx at the tailor to have the red tab from my samurai lanyard sewn on. Should work out nicely. I gave the seamstress the thread BIG gave me so everything should match.

[Planet Mental]

[raginberriodoom]

i really like the fit of those 710xx planet. looks awesome.

[Caveat]

Just got my S5000VX size 33s from Japan and have soaked them twice and still too big. I thought lot 10 was supposed to size small, but I need a 32 I think. Anybody want these? Haven't been worn.

Did you order from 2nd? I just ordered a pair of s710s and asked for either Lot 11 or Lot 12 from them.

you should try hot washing them without detergent. that seems to be the only way to get the full shrinkage.

The Jins have been released by customs. Should have them in my possession tomorrow.

^^you're psyched. be sure to post fit pics.....

[Caveat]

Yes, I got them from E 2nd. I'll try the hot wash, and throw them in the dryer if I have to. They are size 33 and the waist is still 35" after another 3 hour soak last night, including several pots of boiling water added throughout.

jesus, what'd they measure before soak? I would've expected them to be atleast 34 after the hot soak...

those measure larger than my 34s and the same as the 35s i sold. shouldnt they have measured 35 raw?

I have 5000vx 21oz lot 10 tagged 34 that measure right at 34 after 8 months wear and washes. Def bust out the hot wash and dryer, that'll get max shrinkage and you can take it from there. Always sucks ordering from overseas and they end up not fitting

My gf left for college and I'm trying to keep my mind off of the fact that she left, so here's the update.

Samurai S710xx2nd 15oz, one pre-soak, one soak, approximately 3 months of wear.

red tab from lanyard

probably could have done just as good a job if not better by myself, but oh well. I'm satisfied.

Caveat, what lot are your sam's from? That is really messed up man, and don't soak too long, there's no point, so try washing, it's a good idea. Max soak should be 45 min, in my opinion.

[Stacks]

if you didn't want to wash, multiple soaks can get more shrinking done but the trick is you gotta let them dry out completely first, i.e. 5 20min soaks > 1 100min soak.

[Caveat]

Thanks for all the advice/help everyone. To recap:

My jeans are size 33 S500VX Lot 10. I ordered them a couple of weeks ago from E 2nd and they got here in a little over a week. They measured 36" in the waist when I got them. I probably should have just sold them before soaking, but I'll know next time. The hot wash did wonders through the leg and probably got all the shrink out of these. They now fit about how I would like them to fit after stretching so I think a 32 would be perfect. Unfortunately, if I order a 32, I expect to get totally different results. I'll put up a sale thread next week or something. They are 34.5 waist now.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

I don't suppose you'd like to sell them...
