Great news (IMO).

The S5000VX24oz will feature the new contrast arcuates! At least that's what Sandy told me. Have look here:

[everyinchofgod]

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.

Aries, how long did it take to stretch out in the waist? I just got my 710's today, and after a hot wash, 10 minutes in the dryer, putting them on damp, and wearing them for about 4 hours, I'm still on board the pain train. Everything besides the waist is perfect, but the waist shrank 2 full inches. They are a size 33, measured 34" pre-soak, and 32" after. they are stretching, but I'm starting to wonder if they will stretch back to the presoak waist measurement. My size 32 PBJ's stretched to 35".

Don't worry dude, they will stretch as much as they need to, I am a well-journeyed traveller on the pain train.

I would say all-in-all it will take a few days of solid wear to stretch them. Maybe take a break for a day between so your hips don't get all chafed!

Thanks! I'm sure the pain will be worth it, these jeans are awesome.

It WILL stretch back in 5 days if you just wear em hard enough!

Here are more pics

[Obbigood]

the price tag is wat makes me think.....

[nachtelijk]

^very nice indeed... pure organic cotton, traditional loom weaving, special dye-ing, deerskin patch, so many details i'm still reading.

[blm14]

^ hope that they don't have the same construction problems of the last AI jeans that samurai made.

[kit99bar]

Will the 24 oz 5000s have the contrast arcs?

I was THIS CLOSE to buying the last Ai - so glad I didn't with all the problems you guys have had. Will consider these but not without some history behind them.

WOAH - Just looked again, 63,000 Yen, 765 bucks! And people complain about 45RPM prices - The others are catching up quickly!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well the S5000AI-10SP blm14 owns was also 63,000 Yen

Will the 24 oz 5000s have the contrast arcs?

yes they will have contrast arcs. I think I posted that already earlier

You are likely right, bf but I thought I remembered them costing US 650. Maybe the fluctuating exchange rate?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yep exactly. that's the reason. someone should go to Japan and destroy their currency

[blm14]

Yep I paid closer to $650

[morse9443]

WOAH - Just looked again, 63,000 Yen, 765 bucks

For some streaky jeans with probable construction problems? No thanks. Cool drug bag though.

It's almost like some of the special edition models are meant to be collected instead of worn.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yep I paid closer to $650

your massive crotch rips were a combination of ripped denim and ripped threads?

at least it's a new denim this time, not comparable with the one from the S5000AI-10SP

[mikecch]

I wonder if this new natural indigo model is rope-dyed or hand hank-dyed?

The price tag is a bit steep though, I've seen very well made natural indigo jeans at 30, 000 to 40, 000 yen....at 63, 000 yen this seems like more of a "buy it and frame it" garment rather than pants you'd wear daily.

[nachtelijk]

^definately not rope-dyed as stated in their details
