Any rumors out there yet regarding the upcoming S5000AI24oz?

Release date?

catalog says june

[Seething Tortoise]

Not quite denim related, but does anyone have any idea where I'd be able to find this sweatshirt in medium or small. Got a hankering for a maroon/burgundy loopwheeled sweatshirt and that fits the bill pretty well, but I'm finding it difficuly to find one (from a previous season?)

Speaking of - does anyone have any real evolution for the S5000AI-10SP? I kind of gave up on my pair :-/

s5000 21 oz

[goki]

excited that I can be a part of this thread now. sams have been on my list for a while...

pre soak

post soak

virtually no change in the slimness of the leg. only thing that changed post soak was the waist and inseam (jeans are a whole lot shorter).

two tagged sizes down from true waist; was going to go 3 but the leg measurements were identical so there was no point just having a smaller waist size.

for the 710xx, is it a good idea to hem the length before the initial soak since big offers the chain stitching free? i know it will probably shrink down 1.5 to 2 inches and i want a 34 inch inseam, so should i have them hem it to 35 inch?

Edited April 14, 2012 by wes16y

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they will shrink way more. Hem them to at least 36"

But keep in mind, they will continue shrinking with more washes. Better hem after soak/wash (or you really know what you're doing. So..ask BiG, they should know)

thanks for the reply, the thing is my area does not have any tailors that offer chain stitching and it will be expensive to send them back to big. so it will continue to shrink even if i wash cold?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yep. If you only do one hot soak, they will continue shrinking with further cold washes. Not massive but still. Then when the honeycombs set in you kinda "lose" some inseam length, too. Just say BiG where you want them to end and they should do it right. Because that's their job.

Listen to bf mate the man knows what he is talking about . I would not recommend just cold soaking , after all your gonna have to wash them at some stage and cold water is now gonna do Mutch for the dirt

[The Flâneur]

bk you recorded 1.5" shrinkage post soak for your ogsp, but was there much further shrinkage with subsequent soaks/washes? Thanks!

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

Yes he does! Following 3 warm soaks (40C) my S5000AI-OGSP tag size 30" shrank from 32" to less than 30" — I put a hanger in the waist following the last soak to keep them at 30.5" — and the inseam from 37.75" to 35.5".

S634gx fit size 36x36

Raw post soak

waist=36 waist= 36(stretch back)

inseam=37 inseam=35

leg open= 21 leg open=20

Any idea how to shrink more (area)kneeto leg opening.?

You could try another hot soak but looking at your measurements it seems like you have got a fair bit of shrinkage already

[shinobi2000]

from the 2 inches in the inseam shrinkage? doesn't everybody say samurais continue to shrink as a warning when sizing? Try another hot soak spider

[Flash]

Yes I'm sure you will get more inseam shrinkage but I would be surprised if you could get mutch more than an inch of shrinkage in the leg opening which was what spider was asking

Edited April 16, 2012 by Flash

[shinobi2000]

yes indeed, but seeing how the waist has hardly shrunk perhaps there's still room

[Flash]

The waist has stretched back so i dont know how much it shrunk

look mate im not saying that the knee/leg opening is not gonna shrink but with it shrinking an inch already its unlikely that any change is going to be noticed
