Samurai Jeans

[Megatron1505]

Mine stretched out more than an inch past raw measurement within a couple of days. You'll be fine. And after about 6 weeks they'll really settle in and start to evolve, and you'll realize what all the fuss is about. Enjoy.

Quoted for truth, the 710 cut, along with Samurai 19oz denim, makes for the perfect jeans in my opinion. Although, I'm starting to love my 21oz S5000VX almost as much.

man...I will replace my 710 (which I sold last year) not before the end of this year. but all your talk makes me wanan buy them ASAP!

I'm thinking if I should size up one the 710 in comparison to my standard Samurai size and go TTS. Because the thighs might become a problem

[Max Power]

^Do you think the 710 is the better option for me, opposed to the S5000VX, Mr. Freak?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well, we talked about it. You prefer the 19oz denim over the 17oz one, and your legs are build for a slim and tapered leg. The rise could be the problem for you, as you not to keen about a higher rise

[Max Power]

well put. If you still had your 710 I would've come over for a Samurai Party to compare.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah..the size 33 might have been what you need. you could still ask Steffen if he would ship them to you for a try. but those are a bit hemmed so shorter than the regular pair

[Max Power]

Might do it...not a bad idea. Thanks.

ordered a pair of s710s sz.32 from BIG, arriving sometime today.

previously had a pair of lot.11 s710 in sz.33, i was like the 3rd owner and those stretched to a 34.5 and felt loose all around.

hopefully sizing down 1 would give me the fit i want.

from what i know then Stefan already sold them to another forum member so you have to order to see if a 33 would fit

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's why I said Steffen and not Stefan. Stefan sold it to Steffen

[ThinFinn]

^def. need my glasses asap

does the 710 end up being almost streaky after a soak or did i lose a lot of dye by throwing it in the dryer?

[ThinFinn]

^imo samurai denim or high quality denim in general isn't known for losing much indigo after their first soaks/washes or when put in the dryer so you don't have to worry!

do you have the feeling that yours are streaky after the soak?

any pics?

If you machine-washed with a spin cycle, the streaks may be from that. If so, they'll slowly disappear over time. Or, they might have creased in the dryer - leaving a similar effect.

Everyone see BIG got a shitload of new Samurai gear? Loving some of the shirts and jackets. The LHT+RHT 0500's look nice too.

my advice to avoid unecessary pain, initial tepid full soak with a stick/hanger [that correspond to your waist size] chucked to the waistband, then a double hot soak below the top block__ just to take care of the inseam shrinkage.

[LC_Miey]

all this talk about 710s is making me regret for selling my 2ndx710.. but i was overwhelmed by the colourful selvage

[16steps]

in retrospect, i guess it doesnt look so streaky. I might be tripping

but i did soak and throw it in the dryer so who knows

[ThinFinn]

^hmmm...looks normal to me mate so don't worry...errthang's good

[DeForel]

Hey guys I was thinking of buying a pair of sams

and was looking at the s003, but I haven't seen much on the site about them. Does anyone have any info on them?

The only Sams I tried were the S0500xx like 3 years ago and they were far to baggy for my tastes. I have some skulls 5010xx if that could be used in comparison at all. Thanks a lot

They're one of Samurai's slimmer cuts alongside the 710s and 610s. It's a slim tapered fit, and from the fit pics I've seen, they're slimmer than the s0500xx

[ranonranonarat]

heres a pic of one from the local forums that i visit. dude is asian btw.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I posted a fit pic of the S003JP some days ago...you might find the pic. The S003JP is Samurai's slimmest cut.

[Daniell619]

how much do s710s shrink all around after a soak?

[An Oxymoron]

man BiG ships fast. wasn't supposed to get these til monday!

Anyway, here's a fit-pic pre-soak. They feel pretty good, but I don't know how much they'll shrink so i'm hesitant to even soak them, incase i decide to exchange for something else.

I'm 6'0, 147lbs, and these are a sz. 29 s710

[Crovax]

They will stretch back to pre-shrink measurements, and probably more. I would probably soak them.

[GupNasty]

^Oh man, I thought that was your post-soak fit. Right now it looks really really good, what I would expect at postsoak, but they might shrink a bit too much after you wash them.

[An Oxymoron]

Yeah i'm nervous to soak because once I do I can't send them back. But I like my jeans skinny/snug and supposedly this heavy denim stretches quite a bit....ffffff im an indecisive girl

[GupNasty]

From my s710 experience, the stretching was very minimal, but I guess I had a less tight pre-soak fit from you. My cousin on the other hand no longer wears his 710s because they're too tight for him. I guess it really varies. Here are my pre-soak/post-soak fits (size 28, lot 12, hemmed to 34"):

(Excuse the shirtlessness)

[An Oxymoron]

screw it. like somebody told me earlier this week, there would be no superfuture without impulse decisions.
