I hope it hasn't been pushed back , awfully quiet

so, one of you fuckers do it, and then post the response

im kind of stuck between size 30 and 29 in the 0500xx's i just dont know what one to order , im a 30 in sd 103 but i had to jam the waist to soak them and my new burgus plus size 30 measure 31 (its a comfy fit) . i dont want a ball tight fit , i just dont want to look like a Canadian mountie.

[Solix]

Definitely get the 30s.

[bouwnt]

[Flash]

[chantheman]

Not the best pictures, but there haven't been too many lately, so here you go:

s0500xx

USA

[chambo2008]

how long have each pair got on them?

how long have each pair got on them?

honestly not real sure, since I rotate them and wear shorts and other pants, as well.

I got the USAs in March 2008 and the s0500 in November 2008.

USAs have around 4 washes (maybe 5?) and s0500 have 1. Both were machine wash and dried initially to shrink, but not including that in those counts.

Your usas were always my favorite plus rep for being a fellow Texan aswell

here i went true to size. size 30 lot 10. just washed these and they shrunk more as expected and as i was hoping.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

look great! where did they shrink more than expected? waist?

[Flash]

beautiful_FrEaK when you ordered with pirates was the sizeing chart accurate ( it said size 30 weasured 28.5 ) thay are all one wash .i asked could he get a raw pair so hopefully he replies soon and i can order.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

He washes the pairs for his Japanese customers. They prefer that over the raw ones.

I didn't really look on his measurement-chart. I relied on the official Samurai charts and had him just measure the waist and inseam of the actual pair I was interested in. (because of the lot.#-problems and the hemming)

He does it the same way as BiG, because he often has been asked to do so

[Flash]

ive ordered size 30 . these streach alot dont they?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

what's your true waist size...or better your size were you'll wear this pair?

[Flash]

im not to sure of my true waist size

sd 103=30

burgus plus 770 =30

fh f350=30

so i think its safe to asume a 30 should work.............i think.

[TheIntelligentHoodwinker]

I have a pair of SDA 103 in 31, and a pair of Samurai 0500 also in 31.

The Samurais are looser than the SDAs now they've stretched. The SDAs are still pretty tight.

[Flash]

thanks man im not posting again untill i get my jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Mh...size 30 from lot.12 should measure 31" and shrinks to 29".

But it would stretch back to 30" or 31" in no time

[SLAB]

anyone here order the S8000 limited editions?

[29mark25]

Black Knight update:

Whilst in NYC, managed to go in and have a chat with Gordon about the upcoming release. He reckoned that Halloween looked unlikely and it might even be another week or two on top of that the way things were going. Great guy though - nice to meet him and visit the store at last. Now I just need my Knights for some winter wear though!

[deminslut]

thanks for the update mate! waiting a real long time for it!

[29mark25]

^no worries - think it'll be worth it!

I bought levi 1947 stf's but now im looking to get a really nice pair of raw denim and i like what i see with samurai's. I bought a size thirty in those levi's and when i warm soak them the top button is semi difficult to button so should i do the same with samurai's? I also plan on buying 710s.

were these 1947 stfs the limited edition non selvage or were they the real deal LVC? I think there is a difference in sizing.

measure your waist and thighs then consult the sizing chart here

if you are still concerned post those measurements. there are tons of s710 owners here that I'm sure will help you out.

[chantheman]

they shrunk more, as expected. waist and leg overall just felt a little tighter. could have been the stretching but it works

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the texas cotton really stretches a fucking lot. mine stretched 3 sizes. (because of lot.10 my pair was smaller than expected/planned)
