Samurai Jeans

Are you black knight buyers going true to size? My girlfriend wants to buy me a pair for christmas. Hopefully they're still available around that time.

does the thigh stretch a lot on the texas cotton as well? or is just mainly the waist

Another sizing question about 710s.

I wear APC NS in 32" and they've stretched to 36" waist which feels pretty huge and I have to use a belt with them. I measured my waist about 2" under the navel (where I normally wear my jeans) and got 35". I'm aiming for a relatively slim fit and wondered if I could fit in 34"? Additionally, at navel I measured 31", but I'm never going to wear them that high.

my 500s have enough room in the thighs, so they don't need to stretch in that area. but every denim stretches in the points of stress

a 34 should be safe if your thighs fit in

After back and forth with Gordon, I ended up going True to Size. Although initially I was leaning towards 1 size down. If I had sized down 1, it would actually be perfect after the waist stretches 1 inch.

I originally had a pair that were true to size and they fit me really weird. super baggy and awkward. So I ebayed those and got one size down to a 34. I've got a little extra girth around my gut so the waist fit comfy on the 35s but the thighs were outrageous; and like everyone says these do stretch a whole lot. this picture is after a recent wash and are tagged 34 so they've stretched out to about 35 right now but before that they measured 36 which is what they measured raw.

TTS. based on my experience with three pairs of 0500s and finding that sizing down 1 did the job. with the slimmer fit of the 710 i'm not effing around with sizing down. but it all depends on the fit you're going for. i'm not into skin tight, more slim fit.

[enojy]

Oh no, I'm not exactly heroin-skinny, so no unnecessary sizing down for me. I already own a pair of 710s, and true to size is right on. Wasn't sure if the different denim was going to have any effect on sizing. Didn't want to order TTS and end up needing to size down/up X sizes.

[deminslut]

yea i am on the fence on whether i should get tts or size down 1. gordon did say the 710 are similar to the skulls 5010. i sized down one on the skulls and gordon said i could size one down on the 710. so i got no idea wat size to get. and yea i am not heroin skinny too.

[SLAB]

^looking good; still need to get a pair of sammy's

[beatle]

the double arcs are a bit too much for my taste....

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's exactly what was my first thought.

but don't we all say, those arcs are gone in no time?

[beatle]

true *****still - sometimes I think all they do when making limited editions is switching the denim or adding a second leather patch or going all wild with the arcs...

I appreciate it a lot more if they come up with a new cut or some really new denim or something along those lines...probably why all the selfedge ed. sell like crazy....

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's true. Except the new 8000. Or isn't this cut new? mhh..but maybe it's just an updated 5000.

at least it's something new in the 0500-cut which they didn't do before and was requested often on here

[Pi-tol]

Both the new 21 oz look interesting. Especially the 0500XX. Also those 8000 look promising, need to see those in person.

Yep Yep. I think special editions are lame. I think anytime you see "limited quantities only" it becomes a hypebeast marathon. Maybe that is why the SE collabs sell so much.

[arem]

Well, it's not like they are selling hundreds of pairs of these limited editions. I'm pretty sure that most of the limited stuff SE and BIG has made has been less than 200 pairs of each style, probably way less. I look at it as more of a promotional thing for the brands, shit for collectors and whatnot. I'd guess that the new products that are of real import to these brands and stores become part of their main lines, not one offs.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think there's a difference between the "limited editions" Samurai makes (the S0500XX Texas Cotton also was a limited edition) and the collabs they do with 2nd. Because the ones from 2nd are really limited to 100 pairs. At least that's the case with the older collabs they did

Another sizing question about 710s.

I wear APC NS in 32" and they've stretched to 36" waist which feels pretty huge and I have to use a belt with them. I measured my waist about 2" under the navel (where I normally wear my jeans) and got 35". I'm aiming for a relatively slim fit and wondered if I could fit in 34"? Additionally, at navel I measured 31", but I'm never going to wear them that high.

I wear a 32 in APC NS as well. Waist has also stretched out to just over 36" for me, but everywhere else fits perfectly the way I like it. I could easily size down in the waist, but I have somewhat bigger thighs due to playing a lot of sports and I love the fit of the 32's through the thighs and legs - slim but not skinny.

I got a 34 in my 710's (lot 11) and after two hot soaks (air dry) and about two months of wear, the waist has stretched out to just under 35". I could probably go down one size in the waist and still button them but they would be TIGHT. Everywhere else is quite roomy and I feel like I could easily go down at least one size elsewhere.

Hope this helps.

[Alex3000]

Fuck me man. I feel like I'll never get these I paid for them back in june...

[nate1492]

Well, I got my 710s, threw em in the wash hot (no spin) then into the dryer. They shrunk up nice, but they fucking faded in a few odd spots, like the ass and the leg. Fucking light blue streaks! Shit balls godamn m:mad:otherfucker!!! What gives!?
