Samurai Jeans

[Stacks]

love that texture shot...

did you get those taken in? (tapered)

Yes I got them tapered from the knee down to match 710 measurements.

nice to see the first 24oz RHT evolution from this board.

any information about washing/soaks?

I did 5 initial short no agitation soaks and hang dries just to get them fully shrunk (since I was sending them in for tapering).

Since I started wearing them I've machine washed twice, I forget exactly when, but just threw them in a front-loading washer with some Dr. Bronner's and put it on hawt.

They've been on semi-hiatus cause you just can't wear them in 90+ heat but I plan on taking them to the next level this fall/winter.

Thank you so much for posting that.

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

What do you think?

Here's an example of how the S510XX19oz may look on you.

Size 34, Lot.10 (0,5 - 1 size down from my true waist, but these are high waisted jeans, so it works quite easy)

Do Sams 710's specifically stretch out a bit after a wash? I can usually fit into a 29 waist but i can barley button up these. Is there anyway to stretch them out a bit?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 19oz denim stretches a fair amount. Is your pair already sokaed? Or are they still raw and you have troubles to button it up?

[Veezy]

I had actually bought them used, im pretty sure they were soaked by the first owner and worn a bit, but they still look and feel relatively new. And yes i can only button up maybe one or two at the bottom and that's about it.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Definately size up. You will be happier in the long run.

Of course the denim will stretch if you wear it and the pair might fit and you can wet it, then it will stretch easier...but it will shrink more and more with the first real washes in a machine.

Which Lot# is your pair?

[Veezy]

Its #10, the thing about sams is that this is my 3rd pair and i still cant get one to fit right, so im going to try to wear these out for a week or so and if they are still too tight at the waist im just going to sell them and stick to my diors. Everything else fits perfectly its just the waist that fucks it up, so i wouldn't really wash them anymore.

Thanks for the help though.

[Veezy]

If anyone is interested in trading some 29 710's for 30 or 31 just hit me up.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Lot.10 explains it too. If it were Lot.11, those might have worked as Lot.10 is 1" undersized in the waist. But don't gamble too much. tale a 30 in Lot.11 or 12 or even 13 and you'll be fine all around

Thanks for the help.

24oz RHT

~1 year

+rep........

Here's a quick shot of my 0500's taken with an iPhone 3g, contrast was adjusted a bit to show what the iPhone couldn't. I'll post up more detailed shots in a few more months when I have a real camera.

0500 Waist 34, 9 months wear, 1 initial hot soak then a hot wash and dry to get shrinkage out of the way. 3 hand washes since then, last washed Thursday. I've lost some weight in the last year and these fit very loosely now. Thinking about a pair of F310 in a few months to replace these.

Yeah Id love to where these for the rest of the year but come october these are on the back burner till 2012. But these have definitely sold me on Samurai's black denim.

[mlouis]

Received my s5000vx 21oz pre washed from Yuichi on Tuesday. Just cold soaked to see if i could get any of the wrinkles out before I start wearing them. lot 12 sz 35, sized up 1 - 1.5. More pictures when dry

still damp but i was able to stand them up

It's easily the best in my experience.

[izyazuya]

some evo of my s710

[aaronxxx]

what does everyone think of the element models BiG has put up so far?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

check out 2nd to see all 5 elements...as the S5000 is not my most favorite cut and I have enough Samurai, I'm not very interested to buy one for myself

[chambo2008]

I would like to buy a pair but proberly won't due to lack of funds and legs to wear jeans, if I was to get a pair I would get wind

[pyrotech]

anyone know how much lot 13 s5000vx's would stretch?

[apples]

what does everyone think of the element models BiG has put up so far?

I'll be buying the wind model, as soon as it is available. I might get the s634GX too, but I'm reserving my decision until more details are released.

The fire model jacket also looks pretty cool, but I don't think fire jacket and wind jeans would go together particularly well. That and the jackets will be released just in time for the Australian summer, which is probably not the best time to be wearing them.

[aaronxxx]

i went over to the 2nd site and the wind model is my favorite also, with the fire model being a close second. i think they all look really good though, well worth the money.

[wasabi]

I have the weirdest issue with my earth elements...

On my 19 oz 510's I can spill anything on em and they'll come right off after a few hours of wearing them...

But with these everything sticks... kind of annoying

Otherwise these jeans are dope.. way better fit than the 510's.. Always wished I got this fit instead...

Although I dont see anything special happening with the dyed weft.. I took my my hemmed pieces and sanded them down to to the blue underneath and it seems pretty normal...

[HOLY]

Is it just me or lot. 12 0500's are kinda sloppy?

[beautiful_FrEaK]
