Samurai Jeans

[echau]

nice fit. nice to see tall person rocking nice jeans.

Thanks.

There's definitely room to size down one, but I'm glad I went for the more relaxed fit...

nice fit. nice to see tall person rocking nice jeans.

im 6'2..

anyways updated pics- got them hemmed today.. i think i should have sized one down.. according to BiG's charts a 710 indigo 31 was a tagged 33, and the black knight 32 was a tagged 33.. so i opted for the 32 (opposed to my 31 indigos). do you guys think these hip flare/sag on my ass way too much? i also have fat thighs

dont mind the navy hoody, was lounging around.

^^

keep it that way, it looks just perfect

[PandaDenim]

Yeah fit's good. Besides they aren't cut that slim anyway.

[calvinouch]

nice fit on the knights. sixsixtie, your pair of 5000vx's are amazing.

[vjiforlife]

All these good fits are inspiring me to get a pair of Samurai's as my next pair of jeans!!!

[skootb]

31 s5000vx measure 9.25 at knee and 8.75 at hem.

i'm looking for the same fit as my kmw 1950, which is 9 at knee and 8.5 at hem. no smaller at the knee.

will i be ok with the s5000vx and cold soak only? or will it shrink more than a 1/4 inch at the knee?

[blm14]

I can't believe that you'd really notice a difference of a quarter inch at the hem.

I think you'll be fine even with a hot soak.

I did a boiling hot soak on my 710s and only got about 0.25" shrinkage on the hem.

The knee will stretch after a few wears.

What I really care about is the knee. The hem is secondary.

thanks, wasn't sure if I should expect knee stretch.

i can't either.

thanks, wasn't sure if I should expect knee stretch.

remember when people were crying about knee bulge? i found that humorous.

lastly, 24/27 oz denim, makes me want to start selling blood/plasma.

PEACE

[Potsnu]

Trident like you said, you have fat thighs. I don't think sizing down would have been a good idea

[Alex3000]

thats why i had to size up on my BK's thighs were perfect pre soak and once they shrunk I didnt want to have mexican girl carrot legs...

[huynhs87]

yeah, I sent my 32s back for 34s. I'm sure it'll fit nicer.

[skootb]

so, a few fit pics, but haven't seen much else from actual owners on the 24 oz denim. any owners have any thoughts on them?

Alright guys, it's official....lets get this thing going! Samurai LHT (unless any other suggestions?) contest 2010! I'd like to think of this as a return to BiG contest roots...going back to the source

Response from Gordon (hope you don't mind, Gordon) in regards to possible contest:

"I can help to arrange something with Samurai. The number of people

participating will have some affect on the amount of customization we could

do, a great number of people usually means more of a chance for this and

also a potential discount, so this is something to consider.

Regards,

Gordon"

I know its hard to argue a case for another contest especially with all the two year ones going on but this is a great opportunity to work with Samurai to get something special.

Should I make a new thread to stimulate discussion?

[setterman]

I'd be interested in a LHT, Lee pattern jean, contest.

[Flash]

i think a samurai LHT contest is a great idea , there's lot's of contests at the moment so what about a mid year start , say June-July

(just a suggestion)

[sixsixtie]

Ef, guess I'll go two pairs of LHT in a row.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I planned to buy the S0110XJ next year anyway...so if it will be this cut I'm in!

[aho]

^Thanks for the responses everyone...here'e the main thread to generate ideas (didn't want to clog up the Samurai thread):

i think the true source of sufu contests was done directly with samurai for the 0500 contest. i might be wrong

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah they contacted them directly and Toshiko dealt with them

but Gordon knows them better and might be able to do better than us

crosspost from evo thread, s710bk, not the black knights, but last year's edition...

alright guys, time to throw in the towel for me, i bought the sv5000 21oz tagged sized 31x36 and warm soaked them. they shrank but then i stretched them out to where i can barely button the top button and is tight everywhere =( i wore them for a day and i don't think i can keep wearing these anymore. i'm thinking i should've gonetS or sized down one. I measured my hip and is a about 33. So, I'm going to be selling these ones and getting a bigger size. which would you guys recommend? OH and i have kinda big upper thigh as well.

I"m giving them a hot soak so i can give you guys an accurate measurement, if anyone is interested feel free to email ([email protected]) or pm me. These have been warm soaked, worn for a day, and now being hot soaked, incase anyone is wondering about the "wear." I paid around 380 delivered from BAS via Rakuten,I have all the original tags and stuff. I know i'm going to sell at a lose but i'm open to reasonable offers. thanks -will provide pics when dry

[calvinouch]
