Ever wondered why they tell you to wash inside out? Now you know.

S5000 10yr 17oz after 4 months of daily wear:

Not the most sturdy pair of jeans I've had... Still one of my faves though...

Hard as fuck to fade...

[blm14]

glad to know that mine aren't the only one tearing in weird places... The denim is fucking incredible though.

[lowrider]

^^ yours came apart at the crotch seam right? or did the denim itself tear?

[chantheman]

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!?

picssssssssssss

Both, actually.

picssssssssssss

aahhh, I'm over reacting. The discoloration is pretty slight. My digital camera can't even capture it. With some wear those few spots will blend right in.

Still the fit's a bit big. Think I'm gonna put these (size 33) on the market and size down 1.

If you look at any one-wash pair, they all have cloudy spots where more indigo came out and shifted around than other spots. It is normal and will blend in with wear. You're all set. Sorry HOVkid..

[kit99bar]

It took a boiling soak in a bucket to get my TTS 710s to fit well. shrank a lot more than the 3 hot soaks I did prior. Maybe try that?

[chantheman]

thats cause washing gets more shrinking than just soaking.

Ouch... luckily I don't have any rips in the demin itself, just the J-stitch seam and the pocket bag seam. Sending these to Gordon to fix and rotating in my AWAs...

How are yours holding up after the repairs?

Fades?

[cheerleader]

just got my 5000vx's today i bought from the supermarket..this is them post-soak..ill put up some measurements later.

Went TTS on these..size 32 lot 12

[morse9443]

^You are doing it right

[whatjones911]

is 2nd going to get more of the 15oz 710s?

[pennyoka]

^^^I'm pretty sure that was a one run only special edition.

[armsakimbo]

I measured my waist where my jeans usually rest and it came up just shy of 35", what size s0500xx should I get?

Holding up MUCH better after the denim doctors repairs (which cost like $100 but were TOTALLY worth it). The stitching between one of the pocket bags and the coin pocket is coming apart but that's about it since the crotch blowout for problems.

They're a bitch to fade, but after 10ish months of wear and a bunch of washes they are showing progress. Under incandescent bulbs they look almost unworn but in the sun you can see the streaks. Another couple of months and I'll put up some pix.

did you try emailing them? i'm curious as well

[chantheman]

if your talking about the collab pair, its a limited run. 100 pairs i think. cant sleep on that

[VY Canis Majoris]

I'm thinking of preordering the 710BK, I should go true to size for that pair right?

i'm not sure if it's the collab pair or not but the one i'm referring to is the 15 oz 710xx that has gold arcs, if it's limited then oh noooooooes!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's a collab and limited

[inthemix_]

is it much harder fading the 19ozs than the 15oz?

[Skip2MyPou]

Here are my Samurai s710's after a warm and hot water soak, and a hem. I'm trying out the double cuff.

Opinions?

[Biff15]

is it much harder fading the 19ozs than the 15oz?

...generally speaking, the heavier the denim, the harder it is to fade...

[rnrswitch]

Actually I would say weight has very little to do with. A lot of thin denim is extremely hard to fade, but the 21 oz sammies are pretty easy as well as the 19oz.

[Flash]

its all to do with the weave and the indigo thats used , also the cotton
