Samurai Jeans

[pat!!]

well the 710s are still up to date

Just got my 710s and I think I should have gone for a size 32 instead of a 33. After the first soak they still seem a bit big. Will a second hot soak this soon take out too much indigo?

[vespr^1198s]

the soak itself will cause negligible indigo loss. if you agitate the jeans while soaking, then there will be some indigo loss. if you wear the jeans when they are wet and cause abrasion, there will be some increased indigo loss at the areas that were abraded. the 710's will continue to shrink more even after the 3rd wash, so depending on the fit you want, they might not be too loose after all.

Thanks vespr, I think I'll go for one more hot soak and maybe a short tumble dry.

Samurai S5000BK Size 34 Lot.12 (SDO)

pre soak (excuse the grandma-socks)

post soak

Measurements pre and post soak. Soaked once with light agitation by hand. Hottest tap water, maybe one hour in. Never had a pair of Samurai shrink that much!

waist: 34,5 / 32

front rise: 11,5 / 11

back rise: 14,75 / 14,25

thigh: 13 / 12

knee: 9,875 / 9,25

leg opening: 9,25 / 8,75

inseam: 38,5 / 35,75

Never was that much into black denim but ah_long changed my mind

The contrast between the copper rivets and the black denim is so freaking nice.

And a bonus pic. Some guys refered to "squid jizz"

I'm so glad I sold you these, they fit you perfectly..

you make me wanna soak my S3000BK

[Classics]

why are they retired?

The crotch was beginning to be unbearable. Countless rips and such.

lianne - thanks

Have they ever made the Jin denim in S710 cut? That's probably my ideal pair right now. I love my Wranglers, but the fit isn't that great on me since I have skinny legs. But much better than S5000 since I sized correctly and hemmed to almost no stacking.

Would doing a second hot soak with Woolite or Woolite black, Help to ensure minimal loss of indigo? I also, am contemplating doing a second hot soak on the same pair.

[hollowsleather]

[vitasoy]

all that fear about indigo loss...dudes, we're talking about SAMURAI!

there's enough indigo!!! you can soak them 3, 4 or 5 times and it won't hurt.

Some throw 'em in a machine and wash them and they'll be fine.

And I never thought I would say it: "they are just jeans!"

after 3 wahses the shins on my 66-2 are still dark as fuck (it's kinda hard to get wear on the shins)

I don't think the first post is correct anymore because gimmegimme isn't postind here anymore

[chantheman]

oioi - is the sizing advice on the first page o' the thread up to date? as far as new lots go and whatnot?

doubt it .

[ah_long]

time to play a game of ID these jeans..

and no, there's no tag on them, so no I can't just read the model number..

facts:

-Silver line selvage

-lot 12

-sun rise buttons

-contrast stitching as opposed to black on black stitching normally found on black Sammies

-black old style arcs

-if memory serves me correctly, the hang tag said these are S3000BK, but from my limited research, all S3000BKs have painted arcs..

-straight cut

-regular A tab (so i doubt this is a limited edition)

- and no, these are definitely not fake

here are some pics

[beautiful_FrEaK]

as we spoke via PM it looks like a S710 maybe. some measurements to compare with other size 30 Samurai?

[ah_long]

32" waist

11" front rise

14.5" back rise

11.75" Thigh

8.75 Leg Opening

[beautiful_FrEaK]

top block and thighs sound like S710 Black Knight...leg opening too big. more like a S5000 and exactly what a size 30 in the S3000 cut measures (accodring to BiG)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

at least it's a pretty unique pair.

silver selvage is a hint for 19oz denim as the 17oz BK denim has a red/silver selvage line

[ah_long]

thigh measurement seems to be an inch smaller than the S3000 measurement BiG has.. and the waist is definitely larger as well..

I'm actually starting to guess that this is a prototype..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah...(and I never had Samurai that measure 2" bigger than tagged although they used to be like this. Lot.9 and before)

the leather patch is also wrong for the WWII edition and the Samurai look chubby, so it's a heavier denim

[ah_long]

ok, so it's conclusive that this is a pair of 19oz black denim with a weird ass cut.. (I like the cut though)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and how does this cut look on you?

[Flash]

have you any fit pics

[dvskei]

got s5000vx hemmed

women cant measure properly so its a bit longer than i asked but w/e

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Some news about Samurai's arcs. They do contrast stitching again. Starting in 2011

and a video about the SL5000XX20oz. The collab between Samurai and the Lightning Magazine

[Pi-tol]

Wow me likey! Bout time we got some contrast stitching. On a side note, I wonder how hard it will be to get those Samurai X Lightning jeans.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[ah_long]

presoak fit pics of those mystery jeans.. hoping they will dry by tml as I'm going back to Hong Kong for work.. hoping I can get them and my Evisu's hemmed @ T5

[Guest nooblet333]

How much does the S710XX shrinks in inseam?
