Samurai Jeans

[embassy]

I am a tagged size 34 in APC New Standards and a tagged size 34 in Dior MIJ Raws 19cm and 21cm.

Which tagged size should I buy in Samurai 710xx ??

I was going to choose a tagged size 36 in the Samurai 710xx but I am a bit worried if they shrink too much with the first soak as they are not sanforized.

Should I buy a tagged size 38 just to be safe?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

[Guest nooblet333]

You should be safe with 36 since your 34 as a normal base?

Also they stretch out an inch also after you wash em!

Also just ordered a pair of S710xx So excited!

[kit99bar]

can you use a tape measure and measure the waist and thighs of your best fitting jeans?

yes...just give us the actual measurements on your APC and Dior.

36 might work, waist shouldn't be thre problem

Where is the link for these SamuraixTake5 jeans? Also, the PBJ ones too if someone knows.

I'm not sure, if you google Take5 Taipei or Taiwan you can find it on their website.

Are they the 10 year Anniversary Samurai and did they have many left? thanks

I don't know if they are the 10 year, because they don't have the 10 year patch like all the other 10 year collabs? But it came with this take5 tag that said 10 year anniversary, so I'm not sure at all. But they have 2 different arcs and 2 tabs on the same pocket if that helps you determine it at all.

[PandaDenim]

And it's the geisha denim.

[Pi-tol]

Yeah that's them!

[lance]

Yeah, thanks PandaDenim, looks like the 10th Anniversary - nice pickup. I emailed the other two stores a couple times each trying to buy them (from the US) but never received a reply. They look like great jeans - give em hell! Oh, and if you go back, pick me up a pair, will ya???

Here are the sizes of my Dior MIJ Raw 19cm and APC New Standards

As you can size the waist has stretched out a lot on both pairs and I have to wear a belt with them both. I see that a tagged size 36 Samurai 710xx has a 37 inch waist but I am afraid if I go for the tagged 36 it will shrink too much. Am I safer getting a tagged 38 and hot soaking them down?

Any help appreciated!

a 36 710's waist can easily stretch back to 37 post soak & stretching. You just need to make sure the thigh fits right.

710s with the cellphone:)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@embassy: do you have fit pics of the APC and Dior?

From those waist measurements I would say try to get a size 38 that also measures 38" raw

[beautiful_FrEaK]

some more of Samurai's leather patches

[Megatron1505]

I've just picked up these second hand Samurai S0500XX for pretty cheap, not sure I like the fit though.

They wont be getting much wear for the next couple of years anyway.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

why not liking the fit? I think it's perfect!

and the fading marks seem to match with your body

what's "pretty cheap"?

[big truck]

They fit pretty good if a little tight on the arse. A bit of wear should sort that out?

[Megatron1505]

Cheers guys, I'm keep them as a fall back pair for the inevitable wash/ repairs on my contest Sams.

[Guest redchris]

Look what Father Christmas just brought lateto my door.

Whats the next step for minimal shrinkage please ?

These are now for sale , I can't live with those arcs at my age.

[PandaDenim]

Yeah, thanks PandaDenim, looks like the 10th Anniversary - nice pickup. I emailed the other two stores a couple times each trying to buy them (from the US) but never received a reply. They look like great jeans - give em hell! Oh, and if you go back, pick me up a pair, will ya???

Weird, no reply. Well I'm not going back to Taipei for a while...which is actually why I got the pair of Samurais...but I suggest waiting a little longer for the email? Or sending new ones. They are usually pretty timely with their emails.

size 31 710s. TTS, maybe down .5

pre soak

front

terrible rear shot

[Potsnu]

Alex lemme know if you get crazy leg twist on your Jins!

The denim is beautiful on the other side, that's for sure. In contrast to my BK's, it's nice to see the electric blue starts to peer out pretty quickly!

They'll wear off as you wear 'em you wuss...but yes they are a little "true religion"

You don't look that big, why'd you get a 38? They're baggy on you too.

sounds like you're similar to me, get a 36 for sure.

38's would be humongous.

also, samurai's are much roomier than both pairs you've mentioned and will stretch as well.

Thanks for the advice!

Just thinking though a Samurai 710xx tagged size 36 measures 37 raw. After a hot soak these would shrink to about a 35 inch waist. I was thinking maybe it's safer to go with the tagged size 38 then after a good hot soaking I could always where a belt with them.

Would be good to know if anyone here owns either a 34 Dior MIJ Raw 19cm/20cm or a pair of 34inch New Standards and what size do they wear in a Samurai 710xx ???

Ha, just kidding, but I will try the Taipei store as you suggest; the other two did not reply. Looking forward to updates - great looking denim with great details.
