Samurai Jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So jealous dude!

IIRC, this pair of AI denim isn't hank dyed but rope dyed. So it should fade similar to most regular Samurai jeans

[biltan]

@a salaam: thanks for the info!

@beutiful_freak: haha that's why i love my cousin!

o i see, what is the difference between hank dyed and rope dyed? and how will it affect to the fading process?

AFAIK

hank dyed = dyed to the core = won't really fade

rope dyed = core of the warp is still white = fade like you know it

Nice pair of beauty...biltan.............

[biltan]

haha thanks spydereye

ben, yupp i've soaked it this afternoon haha

well, here's the fit pic after the intial soak, is it any good?

[ThinFinn]

first of all...i want to thank b_F and Daniel from DC4 BERLIN.

first thing i did, after losing one of the buttons on my Samurai S0500XX was that i pm´ed b_F about my problem and he was so kind to inform daniel right away. a few weeks later i had this in my letterbox!

first the "problem"

and the letter with some nice stuff included:

an extra top button:

one smaller one to replace the one missing:

and two rivets:

going to post pics again, after the job is done!

[Alex3000]

Hot damn those buttons are rusty..

Recently started wearing my jins again forgot how comfortable that denim is.

nice fit bill! i prefer s510xxai-n's fit than blue shadow's

[saintkeat]

Nice stuff thinfinn! I've been wondering what's going to happen to my buttons as I stare at the rust on the stem of most of my buttons. well at least now i know.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I really wonder what kind of rust you guys see in those pics?!

[Quoise1203]

Yea, I don't know either. The "rusted" buttons in thinfinn's pics are just copper colored. The third pic is a brand new button, certainly it isn't rusted!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Can't see any rust either

^^and I found some real great links here on this thread the last days. thanks you all!!

hey guys, i'm thinking about picking up a pair of sammies from big. i'm currently looking at the 710xx (http://blueingreenso...emart&Itemid=62). i got a few questions. what's the difference between those 710s and the ones with the pattern on the back pockets that i see? is this just a newer batch or what? any real big difference?

also, i'm a 30" tts and like a fitted fit. should i go with a tag size 30 or 29 considering soak and stretching? sorry for the noob question, but considering these are $325, i'd rather not mess up the sizing haha.

and finally, is the 710 the slimmest cut?

thanks guys.

Yes different batches, not much difference (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

Size down 1 if your thighs can handle it for a very slim fit (at your size it's almost skinny jeans!).

I believe 710 is their slimmest cut.

[mcb]

^ thanks for the reply! i like the 710 with the black arches. are those still available anywhere?

so for a regular 710 fit though, should i just go tts?

All 710's from BIG have the black arcuates. And yes, go tts. I did, and they were a bit big on me (more so in the lower block than in the waist or thighs) after the first two or three hot soaks. I gave them an hour long soak today though, and added in a couple pots of boiling water, and it looks like they shrunk a lot more than before. They shrink a lot, and continue to shrink through several soaks. I think that the fit should be perfect after this soak; I just have to wait till they dry.

[SamRyz]

lets not mention anything bout big n wat they got

[HoustonChris]

Pretty sure black/blue colors in Samurai's current arc style are legal under the terms of the Levi's agreement. Should be no harm in talking about it.

[mcb]

Hmm I'm confused haha. Can anyone explain for this noob?

[stukovx]

Quick 710 fit pics/evo

[saintkeat]

^ nice job. whats the wear time/washes on these?

[goki]

nice fades stukovx.

hey guys, hoping you could help me out with a sizing question, I know this thread is full of advice but please bear with me.

if any of you own both a pair of 710xx and a pair of flathead bsps, could you tell me how they fit compared to each other in similar sizes? I'm looking for my 710s to fit somewhat like my bsps (skinny).

where I wear my jeans measures about a 33 1/2 and I wear a 30 in bsps... the waist has stretched to about 17" flat, and i love the rest of the fit of the jeans. I have very slim legs as well.

can I get away with a 29 in 710, or should I shoot for the 30? I've heard that you're supposed to size up 1 on bsp, and you go TTS or SD1 on 710s, so I'm curious if I can pull off going down a size.. I saw b_F go down two and his fit looked spot on to me

[bb_tt]

i have a 30 in fh bsp and a 29 in 710 black shadow

the thighs fit pretty similarly but the taper below the knee is much less on the 710s (which I actually like). There is probably still some shrinkage left on them bc i have only hot soaked twice and not washed yet.

My true size is about 30 and while the bsps fit me, they're a little slimmer than i currently prefer. ill try to post pics if I get the chance!

710 since december.
