Samurai Jeans

[LFC4ever]

Alright guys, need your input.

Just grabbed some 710's (Lot 10) from my Sam supplier Pete (a.k.a. LFC4ever) and I'm trying to figure out if these need hemming and if they do, what is a good length to hem them to?

They've been cold soaked once (by Pete) and have a present inseam of 36 inches. I'm 6'1 and have an inseam between 32-33 inches.

Or, I guess a better question for present 710 owners would be, how many inches longer are your 710's in relation to your normal inseam? I realize this is all personal preference but I'm just wondering if 3-4 inches of excess material is too much?

I'll try and post some fit pics tomorrow or Monday, as maybe that will give you an idea of how they fall on me. I got them true to size in a 36 waist and I've got large thighs and calves so they fit pretty snug.

Anyway, in the meantime I'd like to hear what you guys have to say. Or if this has already been discussed (hard to believe that after 1000 pages that it hasn't) I'd appreciate the page numbers and/or dates of discussion that would help me figure this out.

Thanks!

Just to clarify, following the enquiry I just had re do I supply Samurai the answer is no I just had an embarrassingly large number in my private collection so sold some and they went to a very good home in Burning Bright !!!!!!

I would give them another soak/wash before hemming and in any case bear in mind they'll keep shrinking slightly I believe for the first 10 washes approx? I guess the advice I would give is hem them to 1 inch longer than your ideal inseam length for these......but then I guess your question Geoff is what IS my ideal inseam length for these!

superbored....s5000bk around 2 to 3 months

What!? And here I thought you had every model of Samurai in my size, including future pairs that haven't even been released yet. In fact, I was banking on getting all of the element series from you.

Sorry if you were getting pm's about that being my denim pusher Pete. I thought folks would clearly see I was only kidding. I guess people take their denim acquisitions pretty seriously here.

As for your inseam advice I think I will give them a hot soak and see if that will get anymore of the shrinkage out. I'm still going to try and hold off on wearing them though in order to break the S5110VXJ's in a little more so I'm not in any hurry to do it.

burningbright -- my 710s were too long by a few inches at least. i'm 6'2" by the way. 710s look fine imo with a longer inseam because of the slim fit and narrow leg opening.

I am falling in love with my sam earth model, deeper and deeper day by day.. the dense indigo when new is gone... brownish red rust color starting to show through the indigo threads..... I can only imagine a very rusty dusty fade when fully evolved.

[dylanbooth78]

ok here are some fit pics as promised! they are super tight in the waist and hips but i have only worn them for 3 days so far, so there should be a bit more strech left in them yet! im very happy with the cut in general though. i will dig out my DSLR in the next few days and take some proper close up shots!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's really a good fit. although quite different to the usual 510 fits you see around here. did you size down?

[dylanbooth78]

well i thought i was going true to size! but i think i was kidding myself really;-)

[edmond]

he sized down too much on those

[dylanbooth78]

he sized down too much on those

No, they will be the perfect fit soon! im looking forward to seeing how they wear too!!

[pat!!]

indoor + outdoor pics...a little past 10 months I think. Gonna wash soon, they're getting nasty cause of the 95+ degrees everyday :confused: sorry about the one upside down pic

[Flash]

i love the blues that come through in the 19oz denim

[ThinFinn]

@pat: just awesome...and now show us some postwash pics

must spread though!

[kit99bar]

Looks like a good fit though because he has skinny legs. Once the waist and thigh stretch out a bit, it will be perfect.

he sized down too much on those

[rjsavestheday]

@pat! nice work on those jeans man

[edmond]

No, they will be the perfect fit soon! im looking forward to seeing how they wear too!!

yes you did you know it if you want something to fit like that you would have went with a 5000 cut

[riff]

Pat! So sick!

Dylan - that will be a great fit!

^Nice jeans

Fit pics of my S0210XJs after 2 hot soaks and a brief machine dry. Size 33. Sized up 2 from true waist and one size larger then my S0110XJs. Wanted them loose and kind of wish I went up to a 34, but still happy with these. Once it cools down these will be for work.

[ThinFinn]

^fit's spot on imo...nice!

[Alex3000]

Yea those fit terrible, you should just send em my way.

[Bomull]

@pat - those will look sick after a wash! looking forward to pics!
