Samurai Jeans

[wipava]

Shit, that explains why I missed it. I used ctrl F with "510" and it didn't come up with anything because it doesn't use the number until you click the listing. Thank you.

you had a look at the measurements on the yamato S001JP's.. only comes in 15oz cotton though

[beautiful_FrEaK]

loosest cuts throught the leg would be S510 (as mentioned), S310 (even looser but hard to find) and the S3000VX (a WWII cut). Same cut as the S3000VX are the S2000 cuts

[benzak]

So did you get SAT510 from Take5 ?

Now I'm soaking them.Tomorrow will start to wear them beside my IS jeans

yeah I did get them from T5

I have already put them in my glass case for display, i'm not planning to wear them. I'm curious to see how the denim fades on this one. my GFs geisha's (it's the same denim I recall?) are nice but she doesn't wear them enough to see the true potential.

I think Take5 is the only place he could get them...

Looking forward to some more pics of your pair! Hopefully your account is ready for more pics.

I will post some detail pics later, don't have access to my better camera atm

Black Knights been wearing them for about 8ish months lost track exactly. Never really noticed how different the look now until I looked at the old pictures

1st month wearing these

and now

[Megatron1505]

Love those Black Knights...if anyone has a pair in 36 or 38 that they want rid of please let me know.

[PandaXS]

alex3000 why did you change the walls the deep blue was good! but those knights are looking good! i want more info on that wallet though

[Alex3000]

Well we put a 65inch tv on the wall in the room next to mine so they had to drill a bit in my wall so we painted it gray this time. The wallet is a a plain wallet I got at a western store for like 20 bucks. Been meaning to splurge on a nice one.

[jstavrin]

Thanks for the info everybody. I'm definitely getting the 510, most likely 21oz. Considering 24, but that seems a little too crazy. I don't know how I'll be able to wait another few months to get these!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

For the 24oz you gotta be faster as these are no regular model and maybe sold out soon. 21oz is always available

[jstavrin]

That narrows things down--I just checked BiG's available sizes and they hardly have anything left. 21oz it is.

If you don't mind left hand twill, they have the 24 oz. 510s in LHT in most sizes here:

[jstavrin]

Perhaps...21oz 510s are a bit more of a "sure thing," in that I have some idea as to what they'll end up looking like. I'm sure the LHTs are also incredible, but I just don't know.

Either way, you can't go wrong.

[mitchL]

just picked up a pair of 510 24oz lht off of a member here, fur should be here in a few days

You can check out from http://en.rakuten.co.jp/ . They ship items from Japan to the rest of world !

The most important thing is that there is arc oand red tab n Samurai Jeans if buying from Rakuten !

[beautiful_FrEaK]

as Samurai changed their arcs, they are also available on the international pairs (like BiG) and the tabs too. So if he's from the USA and wants to support his local dealer and want to have the opportunity to exchange his pair he should/could buy from BiG

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Latest addiction...erm addition to the collection

[edmond]

whered you get those?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

from my usual Samuai-dealer Yuichi from kaizoku-pirates.

I thought you already had that pair?!

[jstavrin]

I'll probably end up getting the jeans from BiG when the time comes because:

a) I want to be able to return/exchange them if necessary

I couldn't care less about arcs (though a tab would be nice)

Now all I need is a bi-fold wallet that holds its shape better than one from Leather Goods Connection, and I'll probably pull the trigger on the 21oz 510s.

[Gilangaditya]

sorry for silly question, i would buy a pair of samurai element prefer size down 1 or true to the size ? thanks

[BrokenGlass]

found these at the bottom of my drawer, they were the contest jeans from a few years back, texas cotton that I bailed on early on.

s0500xx

[widgwok]

[BlueOctoberFan]

Latest addiction...erm addition to the collection/quote]

I've always been interested in the 3000... Fit pics please.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

agreed, really a perfect fit

[tigger]

Hey Clou, love the fit on those S0500xx, what size did you get and measurements pre and post soak ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Here you go BOF.

pre soak

post soak

one hot soak in the bathtub and one wash in the machine. still slightly damp

Afterwards I have to admit that I will never wash a jeans to shrink if there are other ways to do it. strange faded creases...one over the thigh. I have to see how it evolves.

After the denim has stretched I'll wear them a bit lower. beatle's opinion of how to wear the S3000VX

[clou]

Hey Clou, love the fit on those S0500xx, what size did you get and measurements pre and post soak ?

They're size 28. Sorry, I didn't take measurements pre soak. I'll try to measure them tonight.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

P.S. Yuichi is dope. After shipping my jeans, he refunded me back like $1.30 or something because he said shipping cost less than he thought. Can't believe how honest he is and his service is amazing.
