Samurai Jeans

[Aries]

For me Alex's is a good slim fit and BF's is a classic straight fit. Both are solid.

Tillman's fit is great IMO, a bit hem perhaps?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx!

yeah, most of my fits would benefit from I hem...that's true. But I kinda like to keep the jeans "original". Just like Ruedi

@Carl: yeah sizing down...well these are a tag size 34, measured 34" raw and shrank to 32" from where I stretched them back to 34,5". Sizing down isn't a real option waistwise (imo). Just looking at my bum and legs, a size smaller would look better/more modern, that's true

hey guys, just finished with the pre-soak and drying of my 710xx lot 13, size 29. went tts. i'm really liking the fit so far. i was thinking of doing another pre-soak. i measured the inseam and it's exactly 37". does this sound about right? i just did a tub hot soak for about 2 hrs.

edit: i decided to do another pre-soak after wearing for about an hour and a half or so, and the inseam measures about 36" now. i'm guessing it'll fit snuggier now, which is sounds good to me since i have skinny ass legs.

My inseam still measures around 37" after a machine ash and several soaks (which is good). But I see you already answered your question yourself....

Alex' fit is really good indeed. But I also like b_fs fit. IMO all relaxed fits benefit from a long breaking in period, they drape much better then. If you wait some days, yours will fit nicer again, b_f.

will my 710xx ever soften up? haha. even after 2 presoaks, these are still pretty damn stiff. definitely some scraping going on around my knees, etc..sorry, it's my first venture with samurai haha.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

2 pre-soaks won't change much..wear them, wear them, wear them...and after some more soaks and wear they will get softer.

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong thread for this but im looking for some sizing advice.

My actual waist size is 35 and i wear a tag size 33 in momotaro 701. Would i be better off with a 33 or 34 in the 710s?

Thanks.

[tribeq]

here is some fit pics of my 710xx, lot 13, size 29. i went tts and did 2 initial hot soaks (1 hot soak, dried, wore for hour, hour and a half and did another hot soak). this was maybe a day of wear, if that. what do you guys think of the fit? might get it hemmed later. i want to see how it looks when the stacks settle more first.

Looks fine as is. Depends on if you want stacking or not.

Wow, love to hear, that somebody else then me tries to preserve the original hem.

I myself would never allow any scissors near to any kind of raw denim stuff!!

Thanks man. I actually prefer to stack. I'm in the same boat as others wanting to keep the hem as it was intended. I just wanted other opinions on how my fit looks. I have chicken legs so I was wondering if this fit looks good or the way 710xxs are supposed to fit, or if I should go down a size.

Edited July 11, 2012 by tribeq

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well, some wear the 710 tighter and some (like me) wear them more regular. it depends on what look you want to achieve. is the waist comfortable? i think you could go down one size for a slimme fit in the legs but if that is comfortable at your waist...your decision.

keep in mind they will also shrink a bit more with the future washes

[tribeq]

^ thanks for the reply. right now the waist is comfortable, but after that 2nd soak, it was definitely a struggle and not even comfortable haha. i think i would hate it sizing down since the waist. i like the fit and i think with more wear it'll get better. i was just wondering what you guys thought.

[Max Power]

No, leave it as it is. You will have a way to tight waist if you size down. The fit looks ok to me (although I think a hem would be a good call). Sizing down in Samurais (even 710) looks off to me, as there a plenty of brands offering slim cuts. But many just want a skinny fit in heavy denim which doesn't go together well IMHO (not referring to you, generally speaking).

Edited July 12, 2012 by Max Power

[tribeq]

yeah that's true. i agree. my philosophy for me generally is always go (waist) tts and just the cut go as the brand intended. seems to work out for me i guess.

[Max Power]

^which is the right way IMO.

Update: Yamato 001jp :: 3 washes

what lot are these? pocket details is quite different to mine which are lot 13..

Anyway here are a couple of photos my my S001jp probably 4-5 months actual wear with 2 initial hot soaks (had them for 18 months now). No washes, 95% worn in an office environment. As you can see there is not a huge amount of progress because of the wear environment..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^he painted the "lazy s" arcs on his own

[Cold Summer]

Yeah Tribeq those are a perfect fit, no need to size down. That's exactly how a proper-fitting pair of jeans ought to look IMO.

[trevorplease]

can anyone help?

alright people, a question that has been bothering me in my search for new jeans..might seem a little dumb, but here it goes

how much difference in measurement in a part of a jeans actually makes a visual difference, or changes the feel and fit of the jean?

eg: in the thigh a 10" measurement versus a 10.5" or in the leg opening, 6.5" versus 6.75" or even 7"?

I ask because I'm looking for skinny jeans, but the lengths are too long so I need to hem, the leg opening will be different since i'm looking at jeans that have taper...

thanks!

back in my 24oz again.
