my Samurai s510xx one soak

[501cult]

Can't rep you either b_F, for the same reason, but sure wish I could. I keep telling you: tight fits look (and feel!) great. It's no exception on you. Don't be afraid to show your butt a bit!

[kit99bar]

BF, must spread, but I love that fit. straight leg for the win.

Denim Sailor, love it! repped.

[shinobi2000]

are those 5000vxs as slim, slimmer, or not as slim as the 510 cut?

[dealingwithit]

what oz does the 710xx end up at after a soak? 21oz? 22oz?

[aho]

Haven't read through the thread in a while, but who's already jumped on the S0110XJII? Grey weft fades are interesting indeed...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the S5000 is slimmer than the S510. especially in the top block and thighs

leg opening is similar

what oz does the 710xx end up at after a soak? 21oz? 22oz?

19oz. only the 21oz and 24oz were labeled incorrect and are heavier after soak/wash (relying on Gordon from BiG here)

[LC_Miey]

^^ thanks for info b_F, anyway what do you mean by incorrectly labelled?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

normally denim weight is labled in its loomstate state. but Samurai normally lists the weight after soaking/washing for the 15, 17 and 19oz models.

but the 21 and 24oz models are listed in their loomstate state so they get "hevier", more densoe after a soak.

you could ask Gordon from BiG about it

[LC_Miey]

ah i see...ive always assumed that the labelled weight is the weight of the denim in loomstate including 15,17 and 19oz...now I know they're otherwise when it comes to those 3 weights..

thanks again!

[louisbosco]

i wear mine in a 34 Celsius and i dont have a problem

you forgot to add the humidity. i think wearing mine in singapore will be hotter. but i'll be fine too!

[edmond]

im in manila so i think humidity here is 101%

[coleslawyum]

When can you rock your A-2? Seems impossible.

[edmond]

@b_f.

wow, you were quick to soak and show 'em off. I am taking a different approach, wearing them after work for a few hours this week to give them some 'stretch memory' ...it was a fight to get the buttons done the first time. after a frankenstein walk around the apartment, some sitting, some deep knee bends, some yoga poses, they really have softened up alot. I have no idea if it will lessen the pain of post-soak, but I'm gonna try. Will soak them cold and then see where I end up. So far, they fit like my S0500XX.

[hat&beard]

So here are the s5000vx 21oz after about a year and a half of wear, some repairs, and two rigorous hand washes in my bathtub with some seventh generation soap.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@scmah174: I did this before with a pair other jeans but don't remember if it was worth it.

But I don't think so. IMO, when a jeans with unsanforized denim is built the final size (including shrinkage) is already determined. So it will reach that size in the end (if you wash them regular)

[kit99bar]

Looking forward to the post soak fit pics BF! I know they are coming and I keep refreshing

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah I planned to take them in the next minutes. I hope the pair already stretched enough and don't show my big arse

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Post soak fit:

As you can imagine and see, still very stiff and needs a bit stretch for a better look from tha back

And little give-aways from 2ND
