Potsnu those are looking good man. I wore my pair today decoded to give the Jins a break I need to put up some more recent pictures of them soon. Was a click away from ordering some black shadows but I decided I'm just going to keep trashing the the black knights and my Jins for now.

24oz S5000 worn off & on since september i guess

these look incredible! how hot would you say the denim is? The heaviest I've ever tried is 21oz from Iron Heart, so hopefully the weave on these is also a little loose, fit is fantastic

Hi! I got my first proper Japanese Denim today and i waited soo long for it. Unfortunately i can't post any decent fit pics since the Jeans don't really work for me. Not sure if its the cut or if they are too big for me. Some thoughts would be welcome.

yeah from those pics you can easily size down 2 sizes. so exchange or sell and buy smaller

edit: hell...looking again on your pics even 3 sizes smaller

what other jeans do you own and what do they measure in the waist after wear?

^^Holy shit! For real, 2-3 sizes? You think so? They are about 3 cm too big on the waist right now, but i thought they would be great after a soak (at least on the waist).

I currently wear a '67 LVC in W32 which measure around 40 cm on the waist. The tigh is around 28.5 - 29. Inseam around 87. They fit quite nice.

You think i should get them hemmed right away when i order them from DC4? The 100 cm is insanely long

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I said from the pics. it looks right now as if you are standing in those jeans without touching them on the inside with your body

yeah the inseam is too long for most people but in your case I wouldn't hem them before you really know your size.

edit again: ok 3 sizes is too much but 2 sizes would be possible. 1 size down from that fit is obligatory. did you get those from dc4 already?

Edited January 3, 2012 by beautiful_FrEaK

[Karamboo]

Yeah, i did get them from Daniel today. I was so stoked when they finally arrived... until i saw how huge they were!

Not sure if i should go with the 30. I guess the waist would be very harmful after a soak. The tighs and everywhere else would be great in a 30, but the waist? OUCH!

Edited January 3, 2012 by Karamboo

[beautiful_FrEaK]

waist is not really a problem on Samurai jeans. you can stretch them nearly to whatever you want. check what daniel has in stock. you're from germany? you could also pm me for further discussion

[Alex3000]

Honestly I'd hot wash em and wear em, but then I'm biased towards sizing up..

[Karamboo]

^believe me, i'd do that if i wouldn't be as skinny as a rake

thanks, wish i could answer your question, but i haven't had the chance to wear em in the hottest months around here (july/august). i think they breathe, but not as much as 21oz IH's. while the weave isn't as tight as.. say SD'A, i imagine these would be pretty miserable in the middle of july for most.

another difference b/n the IH 21oz & Sam 24oz (27oz after soak i read) is that my 634s softened up after a month or two of wear, where these sams really haven't in comparison. they remain pretty rigid and the creases are sharp.

these are beasts and i love em! (at least 9 months out of the year) have you checked out IH 25oz?

I updated my fit guide with my new s710xx.

here's a quick comparison between my 2 pairs (of which I sold the smaller one)

size 33 (SD2)

size 35 (TTS)

check out all the other stuff here (also with some samurai basics in the first post)

[saintkeat]

I liked the 33 on you. too bad you sold it off.

[a salaam alaikum]

IMO the 35 looks much better, i just sold my size 31 710s because they fit like your 32s. i am wearing my size 33 black shadows today and the fit is way better.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx you two! considering that both pairs have just been soaked but not machine washed, the 35 is definitely the better option in the long run

[BrownMetallic]

^concur on the 35. just like you, i had both__ a sized down & TTS. also sold the smaller.

although this particular denim stretches when needed, the denim drapes perfectly [w/o coercion ] @TTS. imo, the cut was meant/designed to be worn slim-comfy.

got my 710xx today. sized true to size .

hot soak for 50 min. very very stiff

Pre Soak- accidentally deleted, but very baggy

Post Soak

I like the fit.

EDIT: wow they look really slim here. they're more like a slim straight than a skinny. stacking makes it look really weird

Edited January 4, 2012 by rxin94

[a salaam alaikum]

fit looks good to me, they look ten times better on you than they did on me. glad they found a good home.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah it really does. stacking looks fine to me

b_f is right. you need to size down at least 1, if not 2. 3 is too much though. Considering you wear 67 505 in 32 and you only have 3cm left in the waist, I'd size down 1. It should give you nice a nice relaxed waist after soaking and stretching. If you don't mind bit of suffering, 2 size down will probably give you a nice slim fit in the legs but bit tight on the waist.

edit: never mind, I got the 3cm idea wrong. Definitely go down 2.
