Samurai Jeans

[TallyHo]

wearing my 710s today while my eternal contest jeans are soaking/drying. these are at such an amazing stage, with so much depth and range to the color and fading! took a couple detail shots with my iphone - didn't quite capture the complexity of the denim right now, but give a decent idea. whites, grays, electric blues, rich indigos, and even some dark inky pools...

7 months wear / initial & 4.5 month soaks / one wash at 6.5 months:

Trying to decide between TTS and SDO on S0500XX. I have a pretty large ass but normal size thighs. I like a lot of the SDO fit pics. Thoughts?

Also I'm ordering from Blue in Green and I think they do free chainstiching for stuff you buy there (could be wrong). I want to hem them before ship so that they will be an inseam length of 34 after all the shrinkage is out (my true inseam is 32 so I want to cuff and have a little leeway). Is this a request I can give BiG and they'll know where to hem them?

b_F- Thanks dude! Are all the samurai models going to have that back pocket design now? And I was never fond of having the selvedge shown on the pocket either....

now just the Yamato and Jins.

The other Samurai models will have the new design (where the edges cross) in black and yellow again

@ b_F...

Forgot to ask. How much it will shrink for 5000VX fabric on waist and inseam?

I presume you already experienced it.

...

.

Well in the long run, you'll end up with an inseam around 36" (mostly a little bit under). the waist will shrink 2" in total with hot washes but stretch back in no time

@ Megatron & b_F

Thanks for kindness. Btw, I was talking about 5000VX 17oz, it will shrink up to 3 inch on the inseam?

I need to revise before it get hemmed.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the shrinkage is a percental issue. So if you have more inseam to start with, it will logically shrink more.

Here are the inseam measurements of my S5000VX and S5000BK. Both just soaked (the VX twice, the BK once)

VX: 37,5 -> 36,5

BK: 38,5 -> 35,75

Keep in mind a machine wash will give you more shrinkage. Where do you plan to order from?

[w11114m]

I'll throw it to the machine then.

From BiG. Actually we ( Indonesia ) will be having a contest using Samurai jeans. ( IDK if someone has ever posted about it here ).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Great! never heard about it. Maybe you can share some information and a link where the updates will be posted?! Or is it just local?

Here's another S5000VX measurement I have.

S5000VX size 32 Lot.12 (sold because too small for me)

inseam : 37,75 -> 35,75

I soaked those twice with agitation by hand in the tub.

A picture is worth a thousand words (or five pictures).

For MaxPower. S0500XX Lot.11

May be someone will post it soon b_F.

^sorry I don't have those in my possession BUT you could check the Samurai thread on Hypebeast and read it from the beginning. IIRC they have a trend to size up and I'm sure there are some examples of sized up 710s. The look shouldn't be too different from a TTS S0500XX

edit: well I found one who sized up 1. well..if you like that look

chill fit bro................

b_F i know thats not you..

[brentos]

Sounds like the S5000 cut might be for you, I have the S5000VX 21oz, and S5000BK's, they're roomy in the top block, with a straight leg.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm got skinny legs but a bit of an ass so I'd hate to size up too much...

If I were to say my Imperial Dukes w30 fit just a lil tght (waist/top block wise) what would you recommend in the S5000 or S0500..?TTS?

Anyone out there kind enough to help me out with this?

I'm probably ordering in the next few days....

[coleslawyum]

If waist size is your most important issue, I wouldn't go smaller. For instance, if you are 31.5, I would go to 32, but if you are on the smaller side of 31, I think you could size down. I find comfort is the most important, so you got to keep that in mind. Don't worry about your ass being big, because the 0500 has a pretty roomy fit, and tall rise.

There's not true formula, to getting the inseam correct. All my jeans have different inseams, since no 2 pairs of jeans shrink exactly the same. I would err on the side of leaving it longer. You can always cut them later. Just tell the guys at BiG that you want a 34 inseam, and they'll know what to do.

if a true size 30 can wear a 32 ill cop

[ninetynine]

Mind you, these are really short, like 30 inch inseam.

Thx for the ad placement tho

[Megatron1505]

For that price I'd wear them as 710 shorts, crop trousers, 3/4 lengths, high waters......whatever you want to call them.

No probs for the ad, your price is amazing.

[lilfatsupra]

Let me cop tho.

[ninetynine]

Sry guys I responded to the PMs in order, someone already bought the samurais and the Naked & famous together

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So here's another take on Samurai's 24oz RHT denim. This pair appeals more to me than the one posted some days ago.

So I'm really looking forward to the S5000VX24oz in June!

[nycsurfer530]

those look amazing and agreed, they're much better than the ones posted a couple pgs back, can't rep though gotta spread

[Vandon]

Just got my S0610LX-RR last night and hot water soaked them and threw them in the dryer. They shrunk way more than my new 710s when I did the same thing. I guess that may be because of the lighter weight denim (15oz instead of 190z). I love the lowrise style of these. Pics up soon.

[BIGBERTHA]

Is it stupid that I haven't wore my 710s yet, because I'm holding out for a chainstitch? Should I just take em to a local tailor and get a hem? I feel like such a tool...but love me that chainstitch!

why dont you just wear them a while maybe wash them and make sure that they dont shrink too much and then get the hemmed? that way you dont screw up and cut off too much

Anyone know anything about Samurai denim shirts? I want a decent quality denim shirt, and have been checking out the Iron Heart shirts (which do look amazing). But, I don't own anything by Iron Heart and I don't ant my first purchase to be a shirt (for some strange reason).

Do you mean where you can get one? Three Samurai denim shirts were released recently at BiG:

The phoenix denim shirts look nuts!

Apologies if you were looking for a short sleeved denim shirt or if you wanted a review.

[Megatron1505]

Ha, ha, I had checked them out earlier, the phoenix denim does look insane, but I'm probably too old to pull it off.

I was wondering what they were like from a quality/ weight point of view more than anything, I'll probably buy the plain one or see what 2nd has in stock around my size.

[m3guy]

Does anyone know if Samurai plan to release any LHT jeans this year? I tried on the S8000JX-N at BiG and the fit was fairly relaxed. I already have a pair of Okinawa so I was looking for something with a slightly different fit. More tapered and a bit slimmer. I like the measurements of the 0500, 610 and 710 but I didn't try those on though. Anyone know if these cuts will come in LHT any time soon? Thanks in advance.
