Samurai Jeans

[Guest nooblet333]

That jacket is lookin good!

[deadendpro]

@ Flash- Not yet, havent really had the time. bought it back around december and have been steadily wearing it around the house and out (weather permitting) but i will try to post up a fit pic later this week.

@Houston- Yeah, you really cannot tell that the weft is green unless i have the jacket open, the fading in the elbows only really has the white, indigo-lost warp showing, not too much green poking through.

@Noob- thanks homie, catch you on the IHF.

after the Tsunami.

S0510XX66-II around 7 months of wear compared to its brother S0510XX66-RR. The 66-II has been washed multiple times and the 66-RR was soaked twice so you see how much shrinkage is still left in unsanforized denim.

[spidereye]

Yep, i had this exact problem with these exact jeans. The solution is fairly obvious really, hot wash inside out (at least 60 degrees), no spin. Leave until almost dry naturally then place in the dryer at high temperature for 20mins.

Thanks Mega.will do..hope to get max shrinkage...and i will post before n after soaked pic..do i ..need somebody aproval for this.Do u mean 60deg F or 60 deg cel.

Forgot to mention to hang dry them from the wait band, make sure the legs are as straight as possible to avoid ugly crease fades.

The 21oz VX denim shrinks and stretches like hell in the waist, far more than the 19oz or 17oz, and they will be as stiff as wood after the wash. But, the great thing about this denim is that it takes multiple washes really well, so you would be fine to wash them (varying the temperature for whether you need to shrink them back at all) every month.

Oh yeh, and dont use any detergent.

Good info again..cant wait to wear my 21oz vx..hope to post pic soon with measurement details.love this treads.so much

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looking forward to it. where do you gonna buy?

about the guy who asked if BiG will carry the S5000VX24oz. Safest bet like always, ask the owner himself. but I'm quite sure Gordon wouldn't miss this train

[spidereye]

I bought it last month.before the tragic incident .feel verry sad n happy at the same time. is the 24oz vx is available to purchase.waiting for sombody to break in first...then i can manage to size down or stick to true size.

[lantern23]

Original post:

Didn't mean it in a bad way at all. Wasn't trying to be funny either. My heart truly goes out to everyone out there, and I've been [humbly] trying to do my part in helping out as well.

But I was just imagining, if some jeans were found, and sold for relief funds...that itself would be pretty cool.

[chantheman]

I wanna get me some Tsunami soaked jeans.

not very funny at all

those jins are nice. never can see enough pics of LHT

[devilish]

^^ Yeah seriously, not funny douche bag.

[solenoob]

Try on some 710s today, i was wondering will the thigh shrink after initial soak? Everything else seems to fit fine, but the thigh is a bit too big.

[chantheman]

they will shrink

[Guest nooblet333]

Yeah they'll shrink but not that much. like .2-.5 maybe

[kit99bar]

you can prob size down 1 or 2 if you got tiny thighs

oh damn 4 year old samurai s5000vx

think they're going to start getting some patching now

knee holes were fun but that was that

also ass is wearing through

[beautiful_FrEaK]

alredy repped. great pair. do you happen to have some pics from the back and some detail pics?

[Leonard Leroy]

i'll take some pictures in natural light in a bit, just got these fresh out of the wash and I was surprised, they shed a lot of color. They're actually white for the most part now.

[everyinchofgod]

710's, 2 months.

[vitasoy]

it always surprises me how much better samurais look after a wash, here they are after the 4th wash, not much of a difference compared to the prewash pictures, but they look really different in person

look what i'm finally soaking

[JBenzFC]

General consensus on the new lot of 710s is to size TTS correct?

[yakrian]

I know ya'll likely don't care too much, but I just pulled the trigger on a pair of S5000VX 21oz'ers. I'm stoked to see how they are in person, because they didn't have any in stock when I was at the Ueno Americaya last summer.
