oh my bad. misunderstood ya

S3000VX gets not enough love around here

[Killypants]

S5000bks at 4.5 months. Love the denim, and you can tell these jeans were crafted with attention to detail and precision.

Not too much comb/stack action yet:

Right arc is slowly deteriorating

Had these tapered just a scosh (to an 8.25" hem)...I may post up fit pics if I get the chance

[Flash]

must spread beautiful_FrEaK but the 3000vx look great.

id love to have a pair but im not too sure the cut suits me, i suppose i could allways size down a few with the vx denim

[Gilangaditya]

true colour

yes, sizing down is always an option for the VX denim. As the S3000VX has a higher rise it's even easier. I also was a bit afraid they could be too wide throughout the leg but it's ok.

I'm thinking about if I should buy the S710 SDO (size 34) or TTS (size 35).

Zubin's measurements made me think size 34 could work

[Guest nooblet333]

I SDO on the S710's and feelin fine It's actually really loose on the waist, it fits perfectly for me, but if you like a lot of thigh room then go with 35 otherwise 34

S5000GX-M (S5000GX-Mizu 水) Water Model - Volume 2 of 5

purchased 3/21/11 at BIG; tried on 7 different pairs before settling...

Size 36x36:

Pre-soak measurements

Waist: 19†> 38"

Front rise: 12â€

Back rise: 15.5â€

Upper thigh: 13â€

Knee: 10.25â€

Leg opening: 9.5â€

Inseam: 38â€

I was looking for minimal shrinkage in the waist for now, because the initial fit was snug. I soaked while wearing in cold water for 40 minutes, then warmer water for 20 minutes, then luke warm water for 20 minutes, then I walked my dog in them for 20 minutes, then hung dry.

Post-soak measurement:

Waist: 18.5†>37"

Front rise: 11.25â€

Back rise: 15â€

Upper thigh: 12â€

Knee: 9.5â€

Leg opening: 9.5â€

Inseam: 36.5â€

today with fire

who that guy might be?!

waist shouldn't be the problem, never was. My main concenr are (as always) the thighs.

That's how a 33 fit me (lost a bit of weight after that pic was taken) but that pair never was machine washed.

So 35 would surely be the safest option

The S5000VX24oz has been announced!

[Sinji]

^Nice

Today received the S710xx, but not the #14 lot as I expected. Lot #13 pre and aftersoak measurements has already been done, so I'll skip that.

Lot #13:

[Guest nooblet333]

DAM! That macro picture... nice man

[Alex3000]

The S5000VX24oz has been announced!

Time to save up a couple of paychecks.

[louisbosco]

back pocket and belt loop fades on sams 710s. slightly over 2 months.

[Megatron1505]

So much want those 24oz.......damn you Samurai !!!!!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[kit99bar]

the return of the contrast arcs, pretty much seals the deal

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Great guide mate, very useful

[LC_Miey]

is the upcoming 2nd x samurai 5000 or 0500 cut? i think i read they mention it is 5000 cut but at the upper description they state something about 0500...as always google translation doesnt help much...

[Guest nooblet333]

Contrast arcs are awesome, kinda rewards you arcs for your jeans, when you fade em!

[a salaam alaikum]

This may be a silly question, but why do some pairs have the upside down first A on the red tab and others right side up?

My 710s and 500xx are right side up and my 610s has it upside down.

never even thought about it until i saw louisbosco pics up there^, nice evo by the way.

Also i have a rakuten/2nd question for those of you that have ordered from them. Do they take paypal? I don't see it as an option during check out. The main reason I ask is the conversion from yen to usd, I know paypal does it automatically, not sure how my credit card through my bank would handle it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nice work louisbosco!!!

Wish I had more time to invest on my 710's but school/sittin on my ass/DJ'ing doesn't allow for much. When it warms up here in Chicago I can start biking and working on them a bit more.

BTW If anyone is looking for some 0210xj in sz 33 I got some for sale. PM me.

Limited edition jeans have an upside down A.

2nd take paypal. You need to to email them using translator.

[kit99bar]

looks like the s0500 to me based on the silhouette but no proof

Thanks patchmb.

That's what I figured with the a. Thanks for the heads up on 2nd, that's what I'll do.

Not meant to berate, this info should be pinned.

I try to keep these threads clean by ignoring the abundance of repeated questions but i feel like i need to chime in as I don't know why people insist on using paypal when rakuten has a perfectly functional international site?

Gaurentee this is easier ordering from 2nd, Search google for rakuten + borderless, make you profile, pick your language, order using credit card, it couldn't be simpler for all shops that ship international. Nothing lost in translation..

There is a time and a place for paypal but that is called the last resort..
