good fit but definitely need to hem them or at least cuff them.

Not enough of Samurai Yamamoto around here. Here's my size 30 S001JP worn for about 3 weeks. Sized down 2 on these, which I wouldn't really recommend.

Even though it's an S5000 cut, with the exact same measurements, the denim shrinks a lot more and stretches less than my S5000CX after the initial hot wash. Didn't really account for the shrinkage measurements, but I could barely get my legs into the jeans at all (like I am actually wearing jeans 2 sizes too small), unlike my experience with the zero denim of the same size.

A lot of manual pulling and overnight stretching involved after the first wash until I got the fit like in the picture. Other than the crotch/thighs and kneecaps, hasn't really stretched anywhere else since.

The S003JP was definitely under consideration, though wasn't sure if the tapering would work for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with how it looks now. Cold wash all the way from now on.

if you want to get that slim fit, you should get S003JP instead, just IMHO...

I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to achieve a slim fit. It's just that zero denim stretches like crazy and he was trying to accommodate for that, plus the crazy hip flare the S5000 cut is known for

just wondering if i want to hem my samurais, will it make a big difference if i get a professional chain stitching machine or just hem it myself with a regular sewing machine.

hai ben, I dont really believe in roping effect in the hem is only appear if the hem got chainstitch on them, because I saw many jeans that not chainstitched, and still have a nice roping effect... cheers....

Where can I get one of these? Pic taken from earlier in the thread...

Also, anyone know where to get a pair of Sam Tan Corduroys with arcs/tab in w34? BiG doesn't even have my size, but I would like to get a pair from japan with arcs/tab. Rakuten gave me nothing.
