Samurai Jeans

[a salaam alaikum]

^yeah i think they are worth that or more

i already lowered them to $250 shipped because I just want to get rid of them as quick as possible.

I'm definitely taking a loss on them now but it's my fault for not realizing the rise would be too low for me.

unpopular cut and worn for a while rather than just tried on...take the two hundy and run.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

only plus for you is, it's a limited run so if those are sold out everywhere else you have a better stand.

didn't you check the measurements before you bought? I never understood the appeal of low rise cuts

[everyinchofgod]

i'm interested in a pair of 710's, the new lot at BIG. trying to figure out the right size to order. i wear:

size 34 in the OG Roys (they measure around 34 at the waist)

size 34 in an old pair of Skull 5010xx 6x6 but they are slightly large in the waist (measure s 35", need to wear a belt)

size 34 in LVC 1947 (though after 4 years of washing, its became a bit snug on me)

size 34 FOB Factory (measures around 34-35" waist, perfect fit)

would i be okay with a size 33 in the 710 or should i go with a 34

I'd recommend size 33.

agreed. looked at your post to see the pics. the crotch shows some wear along with some fading appearing on the wallet pocket and forming of whiskers. seems low but if you really want a quick sell take the 200.

i saw your listing but didnt want to offend you with my offer for them so i didnt even send a PM

[a salaam alaikum]

I did check measurements, it's been years since I had a pair of low rise so I figured I'd try another pair, obviously that didn't turn out too well.

^I wouldn't have been offended by a low offer, at this point I just want to get them to someone who will wear them. Not doing any good sitting on my dresser. I'll just keep dropping price till I get to 200. Guy who offered 200 never responded, guess he didn't like international shipping quote.

Thanks for input all.

fit pics of low rise?

this is my post soak fit

[chantheman]

fit doesnt look too bad. you dont want to just keep them?

[a salaam alaikum]

^they are pretty uncomfortable in the crotch and thigh is a bit too tight for me.

i replaced them with a pair of 5000xx which i like much better

[chantheman]

if you only gave them a warm soak there is still a lot of shrinkage left in them so it will get worse. good call on the 5000 cut instead

[shinobi2000]

OGSP is so amazing...800$ ..far away beyond my reach at the moment.

And for only 17oz denim??? Not to be a spoiled brat but with texture and color like that, I'd want it thicker

[lazymuthafuka]

Sizing chart for 710XX

need help on 2 questions.

This sizing chart shows that a size 29 would measure 30 in the waist pre wash right? So if i were to get a pair that is true to waist(true waist 30), I would have to get a size 29?

First soak would shrink them by 1-1.5? and wearing them would eventually stretch them to a 31~? Am I right to say that? Am abit lost here.

the irony is that your comment makes you sound like a spoiled brat because you are trying to legitimize buying $800 jeans. hahaha.

No, if you buy true to size, and your waist is 30 inches, then you buy tag size 30. You should probably also do more than 1 soak, my S710 kept shrinking with 2 hot soaks and 2 hot washes, and a little more in the third wash

[An Oxymoron]

^same. my 710 fit nicely after one soak but were too tight after the second

[lazymuthafuka]

So we have to keep soaking it till it doesnt shrink any more?

so do you mean they shrink more and more after each soak?

does that means that aft each soak/wash the jeans get too tight and we have stretch them out by wearing them again?

Yeah, for like the first 3 washes. Most other brands, a single hot wash will get out all the shrinkage, and then it just stretches from there. Most of the samurais it seems take several washes to get all the shrinkage out.

not just soak but wash.

is this for real?

[lazymuthafuka]

So i assume the dye wouldnt comes out too much during each soak right? Cos the other raw denim kinda loses their indigo at a pretty fast rate when washed.

[chantheman]

short answer no. samurais wont fade due to just soaking

i kow its a lot of posts but you should really read the thread. your questions have been answered countless times already.

LOL just dont really get the the process of soaking/shrinking/stretching..... thanks anyway...

[coleslawyum]

Cotton shrinks and stretches, like any other organic material. Jeans are made of cotton... So... you can guess the rest.

[spidereye]

Dont post soaked or wash any jeans with detergent. unless you have to.indigo that runs out during 1st wash ,most likely dry indigo turned powder on surface of denim.I did wash my jeans ,even hotwashed it.still dark blue after dry.

[chambo2008]

i can't make any understanding of that..

[An Oxymoron]

Yeah what is with the abundance of horrendous grammar on this website? Usually I just assume english isn't their first language, but then sometimes their location will be a US state...

It's not really difficult. After a few washes, the jeans have shrunk to their smallest proportions. They're not going to get any smaller. They will stretch out over time with wear, but with every washing will shrink back to that smallest size. They won't continue getting smaller and smaller every time you wash them (a size 32 isn't going to shrink, shrink, shrink down to a size 27 over a dozen washes). And with the initial soak/wash, you will lose indigo. But, whether it's from the fabric tightening up, or the shiny starch going away, jeans usually darken after an initial soak or wash. Every time you wash them, you will lose indigo, but different brands are going to lose indigo at different rates. The dryer seems to be much more abusive than the washing machine when it comes to indigo loss.

[lazymuthafuka]

Thanks for the simple breakdown explanation.. +rep..

[Noodle36]

I posted awhile ago but did not really get a response. So I'll try again: what model would be the most representative of the samurai brand? I have a friend who is travelling to Tokyo and Kyoto. I see on the BIG website that only a few of the models have back pocket stitching and a red tab. Would all models in Japan have this detail? I have been looking at the "water" model but would like it with a red tab and stitching. Would this come standard in Japan? Sorry if this is a dumb question and easily answered by reading through the thread...I just don't have time or patience to go over 1000+ pages on an iPhone.

[Pi-tol]

All models in Japan have the red tab and stitching. You won't have a problem finding a pair with those features
