Samurai Jeans

[SamRyz]

So Lot.13, I assume? What size did you buy in the end? And if you bought them at BiG, I believe they could help you better in sizing then we can over the internet

Did you take measurements before and after?

pre soak measured the same as on BiG for tagged 32

post soak

waist - 32

front rise - 10.5

back rise - 13.5

thigh - 11.5

knee - 9

leg opening - 8.5

inseam - 36

about to soak again as the waist has already stretch back plus i think there may be more shrinking

[beautiful_FrEaK]

good idea. a 2nd soak won't hurt. but the waist will always stretch back out again to a certain limit

[pyrotech]

would anyone recommend sizing up 1 in 710's?

[pat!!]

after their third wash? one in light and one in shade

Hard to follow those pat those are sick!

These jeans are just so damn soft I miss how they used to be cardboard.

[blm14]

^ cut, age, washes?

[Alex3000]

Black Knights

6 months of actual wear

1 wash

[blm14]

sorry, was referring to pat!'s post one above yours.

[pat!!]

haha thanks Alex3000, yours are sick too. And I know what you mean about missing the cardboard feeling, mines getting softish.

blm14: 710s, a little over a year, and 3 washes

no. if you have to size up one in 710s, then you should go for a different cut.

I was thinking of buying my first pair of Samurais. I was considering the S0510XX because on the first page they are described as a "relaxed" fit. But have searched through some of the thread and have noticed people calling them a '47 type fit. I've had 1947 LVC and they certainly weren't relaxed. My perfect fit seems to be 36x34 1955 LVC. Any suggestions as to what Samurai cut I should go for?

Thanks.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The S510 is more a '55 than a '47. They have certainly more room in the thighs than a '47.

What measures your 1955 in the waist?

Yeah it's more room in the thighs that I need. My '55's are measuring 35" in the waist after a couple of washes.

So here are your options for the S510XX

from light to heavy:

http://www.e2nd.net/br-sj/sj-411-01-f/sj-s510xx21oz.htm

http://www.e2nd.net/br-sj/sj-411-01-f/sj-s510xx24oz-l.htm

on the bottom is always a measurement chart. But don't trust them too much.

With Samurai, sizing is always a question of your choice of denim.

They are all slightly different in regard of shrinking, stretching and what the waist measures raw. Even sometimes different between the Lots (year of production).

So first choose your denim and than it's easier to help.

Thank you so much for posting that.

I think the s510xx 19oz are the ones for me.

What do you think?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's a decision you have to make on your own

You could pm me with other brands you wear and I try to help you with the sizing. But don't take my word for granted

But if you want the S510XX19oz...a size 35 would work quite good

[beautiful_FrEaK]

All (?) patches from Samurai

There are many differences on the patches. Often very subtle but they are there

[coleslawyum]

Awesome! Thanks for posting. From what I gathered from speaking with the designer, its usually depicting the famous duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro. I'm really curious to what the other patches mean.

im looking to get some s5000vx's. my waist is in between a 30 and 31, so about 30.5. im looking for a slim-ish fit, but still want some extra room. not sure how i should size. and also how much these would stretch. if anyone could help me out it would be most appreciated.

Get the 30. The s5000vx denim stretches quite a bit.

thanks for the input. would it sound crazy to get a 29? if my true waist is 30.5 then it would be like sizing down 1.5 right?
