Samurai Jeans

[deferdum]

Not mine, but figure someone might be interested. They seem pretty inexpensive.

dcg why not take photo's and send them to 2nd or samuirai??

fogot i took this crapy bb photo skills

I was considering it, but not sure I'll have much luck....seems you're pretty much on your own once you wash. Couldn't hurt though. They're pretty bad looking. I'll get some pics up tonight.

I freely admit that I can be picky at times, but $300+ jeans shouldn't look like these do after a couple of no detergent, no spin cycles washes and hang drys. I wonder if there was some issue with the dye.

It's especially saddening because other than this issue, I really like them. The color is excellent (when it's not fading in the wash)

now that looks ugly honestly, hope that's only the starch thing and will go away...

[GQGiant]

wow your sams look fugged up

[tjonow]

did you wash them inside out?

[vitasoy]

@tjonow

Did a hot soak and then hot wash of my new S5000CX (inside out, removed before spin cycle, hang dry, etc.)

Looks bad dcg, i sympathize with you.

Have you tried contacting Samurai directly? maybe Toshiko would be willing to help you out.

[madb101]

damn, i will receive my 710xx soon and I was about to hot wash them too, after seeing this pics I have doubts :/

[chantheman]

its got to be done. dont be scuured. i would think thats a fluke incident and plus your using a completely different color

[Mich]

It's bullshit thinking all Sams are defective because one or two pairs ,which aren't even indigo dyed, have some issues.

just wash, Sams are great quality in general.

[madb101]

yeah my bad, I was checking this thread at work, and didn't pay attention to the model or description, - just checking pics, as Mich said, try to contact samurai directly..

cheers

[Alex3000]

Dcg no es bueno hombrecito I would contact Samurai directly like said above, I've never seen any jean do that it looks like lighting.

710xx lot 11size 36 fs

[yanansi]

hey i got a question for your samurai experts. i have 2 pairs of s5000vx 21oz. they're both lot 12 one is tagged 31x36 and the other is 33x36. when i look at the tabs, the 31x36 have the upside down "A" and the 33x36 has the regular "A." anyone know why?

the upside down A means first batch. i read a reply on take5 forum few weeks ago

[Guest nooblet333]

dang man hope it works out for you! :/

[vitasoy]

damn, i will receive my 710xx soon and I was about to hot wash them too, after seeing this pics I have doubts :/

I don't think that would happen to the 710s so you should be safe with hot wash, a lot of people do it to get shrinkage out of the way, i personally just like soaking more

[nate1492]

I would just soak twice to get the shrinkage out. I had a similar problem washing some indigo 710s for the first time (not nearly this bad, but some unwanted streaking and fading in odd spots). Best play it safe with your prized jawns. Wear them as hard as you want, but wash with care.

[iamstarwars]

I might be the only one, but I actually really like the way they look now. Sure, it's different from your regular denim, but it looks interesting nonetheless.

[enojy]

Those marks on the chino sams must be from the washing machine. Maybe detergent/soap residue on the fins inside the machine? I wouldn't worry about those marks being long term. Maybe soak them in hot water in the bathtub with some agitation, then wear em.

[vitasoy]

if what enojy suggests doesn't work, you can always try wearing them, they may fade with wear, but yeah, i can tell it looks worse in person, best of luck

[edmond]

[blm14]

ed are those bootcut!?

[edmond]

oh yes ben.. they are 19 oz bootcut's

[Satya]

bootcut suits you well ed, +rep

[LC_Miey]

^^ yea...i can never rock bootcuts but they look good on u ed..

Alright finally gonna take the leap and get some Samurai S5000VX21oz from 2nd. I just want to double check that the consensus on sizing these is 1 down from your true waist size correct?

[Pi-tol]

^they measure tag size. So my size 34 was size 34 raw/ unwashed.

[kit99bar]

Lot 12, true to size 32 710s after 3 months. Love these jeans!

[GQGiant]

i sized down one from my true waist and fits perfectly for me.
