i cannot wait for lildavid to finish those 710's, he's a fading beast

@everyinchofgod: I don't how your build is and how muscular your thighs. sense. is right, the 19oz denim is known for continous shrinking over time. but as the others said, the waist isn't the biggest problem because the jeans will stretch out easily in that area. the bigger problem are the thighs and the ass area

@nooblet333: yes they will stretch but not too much in the thighs

I'd say that I have average thighs, definitely not skinny or muscular. How much would you say the 710's shrink in the thighs when all is said and done? more than 3/4"? PBJ size 34 is definitely a bit too big on me, even after several soaks and washes. According to BiG, the size 34 005's have an upper thigh measurement of 12.75", the same as the size 33 710's. Damn raw denim can be so confusing!

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting the S710xx's but I'm having trouble deciding on the size. I'm about a true 29 and I want a slim fit but not too skinny. Should I go TTS at 29 or size down to 28? Thanks.

Just ordered a pair of S5000VX lot 13 in TTS size 34 from B.I.G.

What are your experiences of shrinkage?

They measure 35 "waist according to Gordon who was very patient with all my sizing queries.

I am expecting waist shrinkage of 1.5" and 2.5" in the length which would be perfect.

710's exactly 2 years old now

I'm looking at getting some 710's and am wondering if a size 34 will fit similarly to the 0500's in size 33. The measurements on BIG seem to allign pretty closely, apart from the fact that the 0500's waist in 33 apparently measures 33.5 raw, even though I could swear they measured 35 when I bought my pair last January.

don't take the measurement charts on BiG as the ultimate truth. Pairs differ from Lot to Lot and even inside the same Lot.

But to answer your question, yes size 34 S710 and size 33 S0500 are similar. The rise is a bit different and the S710 is more fitted around the hip/ass.

shrinkage from 0,5" to 0,75" is likely. I doubt there will be more. Of course you can take control about that on how you wash these in the future. So not warmer than 40°C and you'll be fine.

I think 12,25" is very likely as my size 33 measures 12" in the thighs

1,5" is doable but keep in mind that the VX is known for heavy and easy stretching. You'll get the raw measurement in the waist back in no time.

And what I don't understand, when you are worried about shrinkage and such, why order and then ask? But on the other hand, Gordon is THE expert so you should be fine

I have a pair of APC Petite Standards size 27, and I'm looking for a little bit looser fit than it. I did that but I just wanna get some more suggestions.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looser, than go TTS or even size up one.

your APC really measures 29"? I though all APC are 2 sizes bigger than tagged and then stretch beyond believe

[poly800rock]

i just washed my black knights for the first time. machine wash, dr bronner's sal suds, gentle cycle.

fuck, i forgot how much i love the fact that samurai's shrink and mold to your body.

Oh! that's a super video! Thank you!

I was at this place last spring, so i just had a deja vu

Nogami-san wears some uber A1 jacket. is it samurai or other brand?

[Flash]

im not sure but id say its samurai made by the few

[edmond]

yes yes yes

[autorotate]

Went to Ueno and grabbed a pair of S0500 in 31x36 from Americaya. Waist was a tight fit in the dressing room, but starting to ease here at home now that I have had them on for an hour or so.

I am really liking the higher rise on this model. I also tried on the S0510 and the S5000 in 17 oz. After a disastrous experience with a pair of 34x36 (huge waist) S5000VX21oz., I am wary to get back into that fit.

Soaking these guys tomorrow after work.

Also had a natural deerhide rein made for my new natural Wins House long wallet. Brass hardware and with minimal flare on the bitter end.

Looking forward to some Kirin Tanrei's and hot bath tomorrow night... Ha!

Damn, I love that shop. Their original office was way out in the boonies, but this new spot is right near Umeda. Thanks for posting the video.

[nycsurfer530]

so far only one initial soak and one wash

[shinobi2000]

looks like they fit you pretty well. Question: the taper, did it get slimmer after the wash? I was thinking of the 710s but for my skinny calves, it wasn't enough of a taper so I got the 003s. I'm wondering if I made the right choice or if I just didn't give teh 710s enough of a chance.

[Sinned]

nycsurfer what boots are those?

[houllier]

just gave my fire a hot soak. sharing how the inside looks like lol.

2nd picture very close to actual weft color.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

maybe it's my eyes or my monitor but the weft doesn't look very colorful and different from other wefts. It's supposed to be a bit orange, am I right?

[houllier]

nothing wrong with your eyes or monitor lol

i was surprised too when i 1st got it

the orange is very light, unlike earth or water that has deep colored weft.

[louisbosco]

my 710's fit. i got it hemmed but somehow i find it abit short. though i feels alright with RW boots. im not that big built so this is the smallest sizes i could find. sz 28. whaddya think?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

ah I see...so they would rather fade normally. I just looked at the pics from 2nd and there you can see orange weft hanging out of a hole/rip.

did you just buy em or did I miss your fit pics and stuff?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think better pictures would do them justice

no honestly it's kinda hard to tell you how they fit when the pics are that dark and blurry

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thanks for that...now everyone can get a better opinion about the fit.

as you still have room for a cuff I think you might be fine. again it would be easier to judge if you would wear the jeans with shoes or boots

but I like the overall fit. Not too tight in the topblock

[louisbosco]

ahh. since im lazing at home. might as well.
