Samurai Jeans

[abaer]

no further soak yet. but i know someone else who experienced a lot of shrinkage so i'm sure once these jeans would hit the washing machine there would be more shrikage

I don't ever wash jeans in a washing machine. I don't even really like to soak my jeans because I don't like the feel of them after a soak. I am still torn. BiG does not have these in a larger size. I think I might wear for a few weeks, soak in luke warm while wearing, then wear them dry. I really just need the leg to shrink out.

Does anybody have any experience with Samurai denim jackets?

I'm looking to place an order on the S0553XX denim jacket from BiG, but the measurements have me somewhat confused on what size I should get. I've measured some shirts and jackets I have and shirts are sized at around 40-41 in the chest measured pit to pit. Jackets are about 42 pit to pit. Shoulders are about 18-18.5. To complete the picture I am about 6' 180

Chest measurements on BiG suggest I should get the 44, but the shoulders on this size are measured at 19.5. I know these are supposed to fit snug, so I'm thinking I should size down to the 42 (which measures at 40.5 chest and 18.75 shoulders) and put up with some chest tightness in order to get a better shoulder fit. Chances are I won't always be buttoning it up, and if I do it should stretch some, right?

If anybody has purchased one of these and can give some guidance on sizing I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I normally favor a 40 long. I'm 6'3" and 165, and my 42 S0555xx jacket fits perfectly.

oh well, it's not a contest, it's more like denim diary/chit chat place where s710xx is a main subject.

[Max Power]

I was told otherwise...obviously, you simply don't want to lose the contest. bummer.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's because you live in your own world

[kayodic]

^^me? hello... who is afraid of losing to a girl? i gave you a month in advance and let you take the lead for your e-fame sake + what b_f said is true.

[w11114m]

Said the leading one.

i'm 5'11", 180 lbs & about 40-41 p2p on shirt__ & would never consider a size 42 w/a 40.5 chest.

'can't ignore the numbers, man. $50 Gap jacket i wouldn't mind, but sacrificing comfort & function over "killer" fit on a $400 jacket is just incredulous & insane. imo, take the 44. better yet, call BiG for an actual measurement on the piece you're actually purchasing.

Thanks for the insight. Despite my weight I'm quite slim in the upper body so I ordered the 42, though I agree that it was probably risky.

The jacket came today, and though it is a snug fit it's not tight or restrictive, and I can button it up easily, so I think I'm going to keep it. I don't think I would be happy with it if the shoulders were much wider.

Sorry if you have allready said but is the jaacket one wash?
