Samurai Jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great to see you posting some denim, coleslawyum!

still I don't own any Jins...

yeah the S510XX21oz is a great pair. my pair is still very stiff and rigid. and they fade fast.

brentos: if you want more room in the thigh, you for the S0500XX. I find the S5000VX to be rather slim in the thigh area

[LC_Miey]

Ive always love the texture of jins denim, great pair coleslawyum. would love to see some pics if you dont mind posting up some

samurai 710xx, 3.5 months in

i think i'll wash in a month or so

sorry for big pics

[louisbosco]

any opinions on the samurai yamato S003JP?? was thinking about getting em'

[nycsurfer530]

haven't really seen a faded pair, but i tried them on at BiG and it was way too skinny for me

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah you don't see that pair very often here and I can't remember to see any faded pairs. but maybe try google to find some pics

edit: that's what google showed me.

a nice fit

and some evo

[louisbosco]

fit looks pretty awesome to me. i think i really like this pair. thanks b_F!

the trouble now deciding this over 4 others. hahahah.

always the trouble with denim...too much to chose from

btw: the S510AI-OGSP is already sold out at Samurai. So 200 pairs are gone. Pretty impressive for that price and before the jeans are out

In looking through Samurai's models, the 4000 has caught my eye, but I cannot find any info other than Samurai's rather incomplete size chart. Does anyone have experience with these? How do they fit? How bootcut are they? How would they compare to any other cut that I can see a chart for on BiG?

[Daniell619]

how much do s710s shrink when you hot soak them?

in the thigh, waist, leg opening, rise, inseam, ect.

[kucai020585]

anyone has a pair of s003jp ? how much do s003jp shrink when u hot soak? will it stretch a lot?

sizing advice please... TTS or SUO?

as bootcuts aren't that popular around these parts you will have a hard time finding much information here.

you are totally right not so rely solely on Samurai's sizing chart as we all know these quite off sometimes.

but if we would take their measurements as granted, the S4000 is less slim in the hips and thighs and has a more subtle bootcut compared to the S512 (which measurements you have on BiG)

how much do s710s shrink when you hot soak them?

in the thigh, waist, leg opening, rise, inseam, ect.

shrinkage throughtout the leg is mostly 0,5". the rise shrinkage is also in that dimension, can be a bit more. the inseam will end up closely to the tagged size a bit longer when only soaking the pair)

The S001JP-H has been announced.

17oz denim. I still have to read what it features besides that.

[mikecch]

^ Oooh, 100% bamboo fibre for the weft it says!

b_F, do you know if they're doing a special pair for each season? Or just the Spring special model?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

just figured the 100% bamboo weft out

dunno but someony told me, they are trying out some crazy stuff with using unique materials. reminding me a bit of Sugarcane. I think there's more to come but I'm not entirely sure

edit: Samurai is planning something. here's a link from 2nd:

[mikecch]

^ I like crazy materials...may just be my first Samurai in a couple of years

[beautiful_FrEaK]

why not? the cut is quite similar to the S5000 right?

I'll have to pass. two other pairs are waiting for me this year

[mikecch]

^ Haha, yeah.

I'll wait until closer to the May release date, want to check out the other seasons' jeans as well

[LC_Miey]

bamboo weft would be very comfortable for the skin.. bamboo fibers underwear is the most comfortable and enjoyable ever

[lance]

DIdn't they use bamboo weft in the 5000-SP Ai dyed which wound up disintegrating within a short time?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah there was some bamboo in the weft on that AI model IIRC.

somekind of ink dyed bamboo weft...gotta look it up

edit: description

Bamboo Ink dyed weft yarns

[lance]

^ Thanks bF, I too like interesting denim and dyes but I'm a little leery after what happened to the last bamboo denim. I give credit to Samurai for trying cool stuff; hope they addressed the problem.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they even didn't know about that problem with the S5000Ai-10SP. I wrote them some weeks about it, that 4 guys (all from the US) had problems with the stitching and ripping denim. They weren't aware of that. (was asking about it, to assure that the new AI will be superb, hopefully)

Would be cool if they address the problem. If it's Ai dyed and bamboo, may be my first pair of Samurai!

[blm14]

I have some photos in this thread about my problems with my pair. I'd be wililng to send it to them!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah do it! it won't hurt any customer and maybe they are happy to see the problems on their own.

[lance]

Yep, do it blm14, it's likely too late for this run but they need to see it. Bamboo and Ai are great ideas as was the weave but they need to keep together for more than a month!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@mikecch

there's also the S002JP-N which will come out later this year. Also 17oz but I dunno if and what tehy did with the denim.

and of course the S5000VX24oz. In indigo and one in a brown color. Maybe mud dyed? The name is S5000KA24oz.

coleslawyum would know that
