woah, that's odd... don't most people size down on the s5000vx?

If by most people you mean those that love nut-crunching thigh-clinging denim then yes most people size down. But I would say more Samurai's are sold in Japan and most Japanese people buy their Samurai's true to size and based on comfort. So I would then venture to guess most Samurai's sold and worn are worn true to size by there owners. My favorite pair of s5000VX's are true to size (maybe even a little big) so I don't think in any way they require sizing down.

(I have s5000's sized all over the place).

[DoitsuJin]

Yeah, I was more or less going by what people said ad the sizing chart. Pretty curious because I rarely see nut crunching fits with the 5000 cut even with those sized down.

Does the 17oz VX denim stretch a lot?

It stretches a whole lot! Which would be one reason to size down if you have slim thighs. Otherwise the low rise of the s5000 cut in combination with big thighs and sizing down is bad for the gonads. You don't want to snuff out your balls now do you?

610s since sept 08

[bryanayrb]

the back part of your jeans forms a face..

[TLCA]

haha I see it, good work ph1l, and alex3000 your black knights are looking good i bet those things are hard to fade but black denim they never fails to impress with some good wear

[khoiphan92]

wondering if anyone is selling s0500xx's in size 29 or 30...

[Alex3000]

Honestly they seem to be fading like regular indigo pairs, considering that these only have about 4.5 months of wear on they going steady I've only washed them once but I really don't plan on washing unless they really need it.

@ph1l: ...nice evo on these 610s...+rep.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they look tight for 5000vx. are they measuring tag size raw like other lot 10 pairs?

yes they measured tag size.

I owned the S5000VX in size 32 (lot.12) before but sold it because they were too tight.

Now this is size 34 but I could only find lot.10 (wanted them with the old arcs). I'm not that mad about it, since I like they red/white tab better than the red/silver ones and it will stretch out as we all know. And I've got more room in the thighs.

But I also gained some weight, hence they look that tight

@Alex3000

great shot on your black knight

[vitasoy]

s710xx, 11 months, 2 washes, initial soak

did some repairs today and took a few pics,

so might as well do an evo update!

the colour is dead-on accurate

[please underestimate]

wondering if anyone is selling s0500xx's in size 29 or 30...

nope, but got a pair of s5000vx in 28s. peep at the sig yo.

[Alex3000]

I envy the fact that your arcs are still all there, my left one is starting to break.

[faustov]

i'm gonna buy S710s

my waist is 110 cm

does size 40 fit me, or i'm incurable?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

110cm equals 43" so that might be tough. And there might be other cuts that are more flattering for your build (no offense).

S710 is rather slim in the thighs so a S0500 or S0510 might be better.

tanx

i always thoght my arse is rather small but my paunch needs some liposuction )))

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well if you decide to wear them below your belly just measure the paint where you want to wear the jeans and size accordingly

[ninja07]

some nice fades in these last pages....nowhere as near but here's my s710xx lot 10. only really started to wear them much more during the past year or so, but still not as much as I had hoped. just put them through the 3rd wash last week.

xpost from evo thread

my Samurai 0500 that I've worn for a year and a bit. Gave it a soak the other day, so that'll be a total of 2 soaks and 1 wash I've given it so far.

[Potsnu]

Hmmm I think I'm going to get Earth element and possibly Void.

But I don't have enough time to work on another pair =(

[edmond]
