Crazy! but where do you keep the worn pairs?

[robosco]

Damn you know Samurai is a good brand when people (b_F especially) are this brand loyal to them

I'm hoping to cop a collab/limited edition pair of samurais for my next jean escapade

[coleslawyum]

Thanks B_F for posting your collection! I love the differences in the blue hues. You definitely got a lot of special pairs there.

Here's a repost of mine from last year.

Found a pic of my s710s from August

[onemind.an]

im guessing those SO130XJ are going to have a #5 weft too then?

Good stuff the pair off you, I have only 3 pairs of samurai's lol

[beautiful_FrEaK]

3 is a good start

a very nice collab I found yesterday. Unfortunately not available anymore if I understood it correctly

IMO the coolest feature. painted AND hidden arcs! WTF!

[Aloeus]

I'm a true 34.

I'm wearing a sz 32 skulls 5010xx.

I'm wondering if i should size the same on a s710xx? Any advice?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If a size 32 in the Skulls work, a size 32 in the S710 would be more than ok. But expect the Samurai to be less slim.

Alright, I first soaked in teh tub and then washed my new S0510XX in the machine (40°C, no detergent, some salt) and here are the results

S0510XX 34x36 Lot.12

(pre - post)

waist: 34,5" - 32"

front rise: 12" - 11,25"

back rise: 16" - 15,5"

thigh: 14" - 13,5"

knee: 10,25" - 9,875"

leg opening: 9,25" - 8,75"

inseam: 38,5" - 36,5"

I ironed them afterwards. Again unwanted fadings with the wash. This was really the last time I will soak my jeans this way. Nothing serious but it annoys me.

Put them on and no problems buttoning them up. So it's fine.

Fit pics tomorrow

And the fiit pics. Wore them for approx 3 hours.

[SwedeAlex]

^Great fit on those! I´ve never had the guts to machinewash my jeans, cause of the unwanted wrinkles and fades...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm not really a fan of it too but I wanted these to shrink the maximum. But again light fading marks all over it. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a very gentle washer.

And I hope I can take the prejudice that the S510 is a too baggy and relaxed cut. It's a great classical cut!

good fit mate, the stacking looks realy good with the boots, must spread

Couple of weeks ago bought a pair of 31x36 S0500xx and wore them in the tub for an hour as hot as I could take it. Top block and thighs were great, but it really slimmed down over my calves. I don't have a powerlifter's lower half, but I am not skinny for sure. Anyway, I felt they were too slim. Bought a pair of S0510xx tonight and already feel confident that these will fit better in the lower half. Did the same this time... bit of salt, hot as I could take it, an hour with some good music and a bottle of wine.

I am so very fortunate to live and work in Tokyo and have Ueno in my backyard for such "adventures". Or am I?

[autorotate]

Would like add... I feel that the "wear in tub and wear to dry" allows more input on waist stretch and overall fit in the top block. I have made special effort to avoid flexing of my knees to avoid bags. Overall, an inexpensive way to spend the night in T-town.

One month update on my S710XXs.

After sizing down one and fearing initially they'd never fit, I think they've stretched out perfectly for a fit that doesn't require a belt on the waist to keep them where I want them, which is nice.

Coming up on 8 months.

Sorry, I'm a full time community college student. Hence the backpack.

That fit really suits your body type Tilmann, looks awesome.

I'm wearing my S0510 mostly these days and the cut is indeed not baggy at all, it has become my favourite cut after they settled in, classic slightly fuller straight cut with some taper, just about purrfect.

[Guest denimefreak21oz]
