Samurai Jeans

[Stacks]

It looks like BiG had to push back the date for the black knights, nothing out of the ordinary but still a bummer nonetheless.

ugh really?

[the_ming]

yeah, i was told they would email me when they have a better idea of when the black knights will be in.

bummer

[PeterParker]

um, so yeah, will buy a pair of black knights to deadstock that shit until i finish my current project

are you kidding me BiG, these AND raw eternals? cmon. i don't wanna buy jeans anymore.

+1. Ugh. Why did I have to discover these jeans? I already have too many pairs of denim (indigo), but still don't have a pair of blacks. I've been looking for the ultimate black jeans, and these could be it...

[Acquisition X]

I love the fit, lilldavid.

[Alex3000]

That was a bummer to my day seeing that the black knights are pushed back. David those Samurais fit you like a glove.

[aboffen]

[aboffen]

yeah, i was told they would email me when they have a better idea of when the black knights will be in.

bummer

"better idea" does not exactly seem very promising.

[the_ming]

"better idea" does not exactly seem very promising.

i should clarify that "better idea" is my wording, not theirs, and reflects my pessimistic attitude. i think as close to verbatim as i could get was:

me:"will they be in on the 5th?"

BiG:"let me check.... no, we're sorry they are delayed"

me:"do you know when they will be in?"

BiG:"not yet"

me:"can you email me when you know"

BiG:"sure, no problem"

[HOLY]

oppssssssssssssssi

i needs meh a pairs ofs 0500's

[benz5521]

I got some 5000bk's in a 34 that are a size too big. BIG has some 21oz 5000vx's that I want to get. It looks like the tagged size is the size pre-wash. So if I get 35's will they shrink to a 33 after a hot soak and tumble dry? Or should I go for 34's? I'm looking for a similar fit to lot 11 5000bk's size 33. I talked to Gordon but he didn't even really seem sure and BIG's sizing charts aren't that accurate from what I've seen. I guess I just want to know how much the 21oz vx denim will shrink and stretch.

[Potsnu]

So I need some advice. I currently own a pair of S5000BK, I initially wanted the 710BK's but they were sold out of my size when I was at Take 5.

I wasn't very fond of the fit since they only had my true waist size available, and not 1 size smaller since zero denim stretches a lot. But I wear a belt and I've grown to like the different fit since I already own so many tapered jeans already. I'm really debating if I should pull the trigger on the Black Knights or not. Would it be foolish to own both the S5000BK and Black Knights or should I consider the SEX08 in Black?

Ultimately this is a subjective choice, but I wanted to see what you guys would do. Here's a fit picture, roughly 2.5ish months of total wear. I'm really diggin' how they are starting to fade at this point. A bit more hip flare than I would like.

[LC_Miey]

quick sizing question; i usually wear size 30 in most jeans eg. 811,FH380 for slim straight fit.

i want looser straight fit ,would size 32 Sam S710XX2nd be too big in the waist ?

[Alex3000]

Those bks dont look to bad, it's really up to you if you want to spend another 300+ dollars also the Black Knights and the SEXI08s are different fits and weights. I went with the Black Knights over an indigo pair of SEXi08s.

[GoodSamaritan]

Got a pair of S610LX practically new for sale if anyones interested : http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=163023

Samurai 5000vx, a few days shy of 8 months. Initial soak+initial wash. Then a wash and two soaks.

[Mich]

^^very nice

still love for the zero denim....

[lee porter]

dose anyone have a pair of s0510xx66-rr would like to know what the fit is like compared to s0500xx and is the denim darker on these

[kit714]

510xx and 500xx are totally two different cuts, 500xx is lower rise and taper from the knee down. 510 is just a regular straight fit. Both models use texas cotton and should fade about the same. The 66-rr has the same fit as other 510 models, just that the hardware and stitching are different. Hope that helps

thanks morse, always appreciated.

Now begins the 2nd year struggle: I know they need another year to go grail but with all the other denim on deck it's going to be a bear convincing myself to wear them on the regular.

[Nathan18T]

hey guys. i'm thinking about getting a pair of sammies. my previous raw denim experience were Flatheads 1001 size 32. sometimes i feel like i should have went with size 33 instead due to the tightness of the thigh and crotch area. so if i were to switch over to sammies, which cut is similar to FH 1001 and should i size up or down? TIA
