Samurai Jeans

[deadlycrayon]

bored. denim shots

my lap, nothing special

an annoying rip in my left leg's inner hem

moderate fading...

i kinda wish i had cuffed these, even though i usually dont like the cuff look...the silver is just so cool though

the butt is wayy too white...

im not too sure of whats going on here...i hang my jeans up by this belt loop and its just turning yellow...its not that apparent in the picture, but irl its REALLY purple. any explanations?

i ripped my pocketbag from sticking my thumbs in there too much (to pull them down)

710 is a funky cut for me =\

[panthermodern]

why you hatin on your own jeans for. dem joints look GOOD from the teaser shots yo. embrace the wear.

[Stacks]

seriously, that's good fading (especially liking the stacks in the background of the cuff shot)

[deadlycrayon]

thanks guys lol

i kinda just feel like some parts could be a lot better you know?

[sdsualum]

please post lot# and measurements to add to the confusion

Lot 10 S0500XX 29x36 purchased from 2nd

Measurements after 1 hr hot soak and 25 min hot dryer

Waist: 28 3/4 (I tugged on the waist a little after soak)

Front rise: 10

Back Rise: 14 1/8

Length: 35

Leg opening: 7 1/2

Thigh: 10

They're a bit snug, but i could live with it. I'm loving these things!

I want a pair of black knights. fuck me.

Well you still have another month this wait is killing me.

Glad I didn't place my order , but I seriously hope they compensate those who ordered months ago. Maybe some cool accessories or something , at least that's better than nothing.

Not to mention... some people will end up selling their pairs on the supermarket cause of sizing issues!

I'm gonna wait for that and maybe get lucky, striking a little deal. I burned myself once already buying an unfamiliar cut and ended up regretting it.

Another great shop for Samurais directly from Japan is www.kaizoku-pirates.com . Their English is very good (no translator needed like you have to by 2nd) and they are friendly. Models which aren't displayed in their shop can be pre-ordered. They also offer free hemming with chainstitch. PayPal is accepted.

Gonna get my next pair from them.

Thanks for the tip on Kaizoku Pirates. I just received my Samurai S5000VX (17 oz., chainstiched) from them. I paid via PayPal on Sunday, and they arrived on Thursday--quick. The guy I dealt with (Yuichi) was awesome.

[chambo2008]

nice, hopefully picking up the b.i.g usa model

[Pi-tol]

Hey does anyone know if the S510XX 24-oz had any sizing issues?

Im looking to get either a size 32 or 33 and I want to know if the waist measures bigger pre-wash or if they jacked it up and it comes measured tag size pre-wash.

Thanks

does anyone here have the 001jps yamotos? anyone have their post-soak measurements and stretching advice?

[Casper]

Still wearin' em. Saving my money for a new 300Gal fish tank so no new jeans for now. Over 1 1/2 yrs of wear and washed at least once a month. Enjoy.

[kit714]

I emailed Gordon about these some time ago and he said they shrink to tag size in the waist and lenght and about a half inch everywhere else.

if you can button up, you're fine. do a hot/warm soak below the upper block [x2 if you got time & patience]. wet the top block while in them and let dry on you.

cross posted from Leepro thread. don't have measurements on me right now as i'm LA, but will post when i get back to NYC. shrunk to tagged after 2 initial hot soaks. waist stretched to 34, current.

Yamato s001j : 5000 silhouette : i know these are not for every1__ exposed selvedge on coin pocket. i don't really care cuz the denim on these are superb and uniquely non-slubby [for a Samurai]. the silverware is also exquisite. arcs were ripped__ plan to paint a black acrylic "Lazy S" later. ***fit pix taken with flash.

[deminslut]

hey nice jeans! i also saw it in the leepro thread. but these arent LHT.

[29mark25]

(Please don't say it'll be any later than late Oct!?)

[morse9443]
