[Planet Mental]

um dunno about the knee, but the leg opening is like at 7/7.25 now

[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

[Acquisition X]

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.

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.

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

[sixsixtie]

What do we have here?

Oooh

Self timer shot ended up being pretty funny, Camera decided to focus on the couch where my old pair was. So those are in focus and I'm not. Oh well just quick pre soak shots.

I think they'll end up fitting pretty well. Not quite as fitted as my 5000vxes but I'm not sure I could get into a pair of 32s. These 33s I can barely button up as it is so once they soak its gonna be a painful stretch.

Looking forward to it. I may just start mixing them in with My 5000vxes then in like 3 months of everyother day wear just got hard on them for a long while.

Oh and I promise better post soak shots.

also ended up costing me nothing from customs. I asked them to mark it down on the box.

"you must spread rep..."

liking (both) the jeans.

will +rep hopefully by the time your post-soaks are up.

[sixsixtie]

Ok two more quick ones.

[beatle]

I really like that picture with the focus on the worn in pair..good fit, also

[sense.]

softcore..

[Caveat]

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

If you're talking about mine, then yes. I'm going to sell them. Will probably ask for $275 shipped since they haven't been worn or altered. I paid $310 shipped for them. If that is too much, then I'll probably wait and try to sell them in the new year since the arcs and tabs will be more in demand.
