hai, I measured my waist with a tape measure.. it is w33 L36

What size samurai s710xx should I get ?

[abaer]

^ I say get a 38...

[iAmSofaKing]

New to Samurai jeans, which would be their skinniest cut with a small leg opening?

[HufPuff]

they dont really make any skinny jeans but check out the 710's which are their slim tapered

[ALB]

The s710, but the smallest you can get is 7.5 (raw). So you might wanna look towards other brands (Eternal, PBJ etc.) if you wanna go for something smaller than that. Though the S003 has a small leg opening (<7 on size 27) if you can fit into them.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

right, no skinny jeans. slimmest would be S003JP

slimmest ones

At the risk of making this the official Samurai S710XX thread, here are mine at one year. I washed them once around five months and just double washed them due to massive amounts of tour grime. They get soaked and spot cleaned whenever I feel like they are loose or icky.

[averydabeast]

If anyone has any 710s in 30-31 for sale let me know.

[iAmSofaKing]

Thanks for the replies, definetely looking at S003JPs

[esoteric]

Dang, just got a pair of S710XX in a 32. After a hot soak the waist fits me perfectly... wondering if I should have gotten a 31 at least, the legs are a little baggy for my taste. I just did another hot soak so I will see.

i felt the same way but the denim kind of "settled" after a week or two to fit me better. i say just rock 'em...

[Vicarious]

One week and one hem later . . .

Close-up of the denim:

And another of a rivet, and the silver selvedge poking out of the coin pocket. It's difficult to see in photos, but it glimmers every now and then. . .

Now I promise to shut up about these until I put some wear into them.

I see a lot of advice to go TTS on the S710xx, but a lot people who do seem to be disappointed in the fit. of course, it depends on the fit you are going for, but i'm really starting to think that the best way to properly size most jeans is by the thigh measurement rather than the waist measurement. my true waist (or at least the measurement where my jeans sit on my hips) is 35", but all my jeans are size 33. For the longest time, i assumed my waist was 33" because size 33 always fit me best, it wasn't until i got into the whole raw denim thing that i actually bothered to measure my waist. most jeans that i know of will stretch plenty in the waist, even my 23 oz. iron hearts stretched easily enough. you can find my fit pics on this thread, the iron heart thread, and the hdc thread and judge for yourself. it's not like i like my jeans skin tight. i just pay the most attention to the thigh measurement when deciding which size to order.

I'm not trying to contradict anyone else, i'm just sharing what i've discovered in my journey.

[drew_breeze]

i agree. my pant sizes fluctuate to compensate for a proper thigh fit

Good advice, how much would you say the waist usually stretch? Im a 35-36 waist but have bigger thighs.. Im looking to get the S003JP with a 34 waist.

And where to they usually measure the thigh? Right under the crotch?

check here:

the measurements are done this way:

(this way the waist measurement isn't very accurate but the rest is)

[Maynard Friedman]

The most accurate and useful thigh measurements I've seen from any retailer, are those from BiG.

Just received my S5000VX 24oz. in the mail today and I am in love! The fit is not completely dialed in, but I am guessing that with a hot soak these will fit a whole lot better. Anyways apologies in advance for the lack of photos don't know how to upload them onto Sufu. But if you are interested here are some I posted on SF.

Let me know what you think, and also big thanks to b_f for helping me out with my mundane questions.

[kslo]

does anybody have experience with the S526XX2? I told my self I wouldn't buy anymore jeans but after seeing those i may have to change that.

edit: just noticed these are LHT and was wondering is there was a RHT version?

No, both the S526XX and S526XX2 used 15 oz LHT denim
