Samurai Jeans

[Curious_George]

Fade to black: s5000bk, black shadows, s5000bkb

Really like those bkb. I haven't been following Samurai's releases lately. Are the 5000bkb recent? Any chance there is a 710 version, or will be (I don't care for the 5000 cut)?

they were released in fall 2011.

afaik there are no plans to do it in the 710 cut. samurai themselves only did one model in the 710 cut. all the other variations of the 710 are collabs (iirc)

normally the xx denim shrinks more than the vx denim. check the measurements from big and keep my first advice in mind)

Those Blue Shadows look amazing! Great fit!

Here's my Samurai s5000vx 24 Oz. at 4 months.

good start. mine has about 3 mths wear. but recently spilled curry on a flight and had to wash them. pics up soon.

[jesterrp]

So i've been wearing my S5000VX 17oz for 2 weeks now, but i still have hip flare and too much space in the ass area. The previous owner gave them a hot presoak once and wore them a week.

When i bought them from him i hotsoaked the jeans another time. Should i just give them another hot soak? And will they even shrink noticeably when soaked for the third time? Oh and would this affect the fading process?

^^ You're not going to affect the dye in any noticeable way unless you use soap at this point.

If you're still experiencing too much room, get 'em wet and toss them in the dryer inside out, hot as you can. It will barely affect the stiffness of the jeans, but if you want them to feel brand new again, just dip them in cold water and hang dry after the machine.

If that isn't up your alley, sell or exchange and go for a size down.

Call Me Diamond - Looking awesome dude, those have come along nicely since the last time I saw them.

How did you size on those 24ozers louis? Thinking about picking up a pair

[louisbosco]

Went TTS although you can expect more shrinkage on the 24oz.

Samurai is available at DC4 Berlin's online store now: http://shop.dc4.de/Samurai:.:102.html

damn Lenn! I wanted to post it

[lenn]

haha sorry t, i couldn't handle myself ;D

[BlueOctoberFan]

Holy crap! A retailer outside of Japan who carries the 4000!

Though, I'm curious how they take measurements, since they seem to have the jeans starting out below tagged size, and shrinking from there...

395 dollar 710's pretty expensive...or am i missing something.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you missing that in Europe we and any retailer has to pay 19% VAT (in Germany) and an additional tax of 12% for cotton products so 31% on the price. If I order from BiG I would have to add these 31% on the jeans (325 US-$) which cost me then 425 US-$ plus the shipping costs on which are also 19% VAT.

I assume you are from the US? then it's rather logical to buy from big.

And don't forget, the yen is pretty fucking strong at the moment (at least compared to the euro)

that's how they measure:

http://shop.dc4.de/Measuring-Guide:_:20.html?XTCsid=k1m69ob32mefh4ht00oi2l2to1

the way they measure the waist differs from big and dc4's result will always be smaller compared to big

[a salaam alaikum]

Wow that is some serious tax to have to pay. The total price on this $800 natural indigo samurais you bought must have been crazy.

[a salaam alaikum]

And speaking of natural indigo: pretty decent deal on these http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kind-u/item/331201000874/

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that is more than a decent deal in my eyes!

Guys do you know why Tres Bien can give a 20% discount to non EU customers on their product? Is this tax different because its Sweden and not Germany?

This is the message from their site

20% off for non EU customers.

Customers outside the European Union are exempt from value added tax. 20 % of the total amount will be deducted from the total when you select your country at the checkout.

[saintkeat]

EU has a 20% tax on all goods sold. Actually the precise amount varies between the EU nations. But the general consensus is 20%.

[nobertxrolley]

what is the weight of the denim in these http://www.e2nd.net/br-sj/sj-411-01-f/sj-s526xx2.htm ?? thank you for your help, i feel stupid for not being able to figure this out.

[S-Town]

^

If you run it through google translate or something, you can see right at the beginning of the description that it is 15oz.

[nobertxrolley]

Yea i just figured it out.. oof... but now im just looking for sizing advice. my tts is a 30, i have chicken legs so im thinking of sizing down one, but i dont know how good of an idea that is.

[chantheman]

you can prob size down 1. samurai denim tends to stretch

[kslo]

finally got around to taking pictures, how are your feelings on this fit? im feeling i have them cuffed alittle bit to short maybe? ill probably just end up wearing them with some higher shoes untill spring break when ill have a chance to get em chainstitched. and sorry for the shitty ipod picture.

[Bradapalooza]

Undo the double (or whatever that is) cuff one time and they'd look great.
