Yeah, those are very pretty too. It takes the one thing I like about the old Evisu aesthetic (the thin hand-painted arcs in more subtle colors) and matches it with Samurai quality. That's why I eventually had to spring for the Blue Shadows.

Just got my 710 sams, so stoked. I sized up for the shrinkage and comfort. i live in a residential hotel and my soaking options are limited. Stand up shower, small sink, etc. I thought about maybe using a hefty bag filled with warm water or sneaking into a spa or, like, the hilton or something and getting into one of their hot tubs for 45 minutes or so. Feedback? suggestions?

really?

really?

Lol, yeah. I'm kinda limited and i didnt want to throw in the machine just yet.

[gregornz]

^^ I live in a residential hotel's kitchenette, so my options are more limited than yours.

Get high all the time.

Fit pics of my new (to me) Samurai Jins, 0110xj, apologies for the toilet shots, but I'm at work so my choice of location is limited. I love this denim, the texture and weave is like nothing else I've ever seen. This pair I might try for contrast fades, rather than vintage, I just think it looks better with the Jin denim.

Just got my pair of 710's in and it's a struggle to button the second last button (pre-soak). Should I even bother with them?

[Flash]

Great fit mega, looking foward to some evo pics in the future

really great fit! to be honest I haven't seen (m)any jins denim jeans with high contrast fades. maybe try another pair of jeans for that

it's actually doable on the jins__ just need to be earnest in keeping them dry or at least get by on soaks & hold off on the wash. i'm going to try [that] on my 0110xj, too. what is prolly almost impossible are the sharp creasing [ie, 3-d combs or hi-def whiskering] due to the type of weave.

It's definitely doable, I recently sold a Jin jacket with some nice high contrast fades setting in. Might take a while, but it can (and will) be done.

Yeah, but if the whole concept is supposed to be "your second skin" that tells a story, buying a 2$ bucket is whack. I'm gonna try the YMCA. I'll let you know how it goes.

[lopezr]

black knights, you get the idea. worn since i got them at BIG whenever they came out

oh my. I think you've just inspired me to get 710bks off BiG.

and I finally got a pair of s5000cx's, does anyone here have evo pics of theirs?

[S-Town]

^

Are the S5000CX the gray denim? Where in the hell did you snag those???

[lopezr]

haha nah they look like that in certain lighting. but they're khaki/tan.

there was a pair on eBay...very pricey

[muddskipp]

long time sufu lurker here, been wearing raw levi's forever, been thinking of investing in a nice japanese denim for the past 2 years now. Anyone have pictures of the s710bk11-BIG's? really curious about the fit. I have been in the market ready to buy for over a year now but just haven't found that right pair! it seems whenever i'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of Samurai another pair or brand strikes my interest! I'm getting closer to deciding though, I can feel it!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

just look at any other 710, the fit is the same and you will find plenty of fit pics of that cut

[Megatron1505]

Also, unless you really really want black denim, I would go with a regular pair of 710's for your first Samurai. The 19oz denim evolves beautifully (many examples in this thread), and the blue jeans are far more versatile in my opinion.

Samurai S5000vx 21oz, 6 months, 1 soak, 3 washes.

[shinjin]

been doing a bit of research on samurai

ive owned a pair of iron heart 301s and FH SE05BSP

went TTS on the 301s, and up 1 on the BSP

is the general concensus to size down 1 on the 710xx for a slimmer fit?

(size 32 for me)

do samurais between different lots fit differently? (e.g. lot 13 compared to lot 14)

and finally, why do some samurais come with arcs and tabs and others not?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^haven't researched enough then

the general rule for 710 is to go TTS unless you have slim legs and your thighs allow the sizing down. waist won't be the problem.

yeah, Samurai do differ between lots and also inside every lot. hand made jeans.

and about the arcs: because they are designed that way and because of levi's law suit

[Seul]

The first rule when discussing Samurai's arcs and tab is not to mention the arcs and tab.
