Samurai Jeans

[Rightyow77]

Has anyone purchased s710xx indigos from BiG? Are there any details or anything on the outside, other than the patch, that would distinguish it as samurai denim?

Yes, the cut, the stitching, rivets, the denim type etc. Basically anyone into denim will be able to tell right away... but then again does that really matter?

@rightyow77 youre right it doesnt really matter, what matters is the quality. would be cool to get the arcs in america though

just got my s003jp-a, stupidly bought it a size smaller, just did a soak, will post pics soon.

since it was tight to begin with, i did a short room temp water soak at 45 mins, then 15 min trying to put it on in the shower, then somehow managing to put it on and buttoning it up.

Feels like its still too coarse got some shrinkage left and the inseams are still long.

has anyone tried soaking the jeans only knee down to have inseams shrink? My thighs are tight as they are, dont really wanna do another full soak in case my thighs dont fit at all....

can anyone help out?

thanks in advance

the Yamato denim will stretch out once it softens up from wear.

that said, 'dont really know how tight they are__ need to post fit photo, man.

Your balls are well spaced out..

I was interested in getting a pair of Sams, but the shop I wanted to get them from suddenly doesn't work anymore. Any insiders (Max Power, b_F) know what happened to DC4?

The site looks ok to me, what's the issue?

It was definitely down for a few days at least. Looks to be back up now though.

[shinobi2000]

Just saw on BIG that their recent restocking of the s0500 on BIG is priced at $345. Am I not remembering correctly or has it always been over $300? I thought it was like $275. Also the picture seems to have changed, the indigo almost looks darker. The description doesn't sound any different though. So I was wondering if this is just a price increase or if there is something different about this lot.

[coleslawyum]

Nothing different about the lot. As the yen gets stronger and the dollar gets weaker, nothing good will come of it.

[PlanetNars]

Is it true BiG no longer stocks Sams with the arcs?

I wanted the hidden arcs that

poiuytr

had

[supernatural]

finally i recieved my samurai s3000vx on 16 August 2012 after 2nd buy.

first buy wrong sizing (size 36) and luckily i manage to sell it within 1 week.

this is picture my s3000vx size 34 after 2 days wearing.

BiG act as a sponsor on a contest ( those jeans are specially made for it ) and his authorized reseller in Indonesia is the one who is responsible on selling it.

So, you won't find it on BiG site except they're going to make another run.

Hey folks; any size 34 OGSPs out there?

[Jord666]

Firstly i would like to say Hi to everyone here at Superfuture! Hi!

Could anyone help me with sizing on 710xx's I'm a 30 waist (Current jeans that fit measure 15" across the WAIS band) and want them to fit as skinny as possible, an am wondering what size you guys would recommend? I do plan on hot soaking them initially so there should be 4-6% shrinkage? Will this the stretch back out?

Any help would be appreciated!

@maxpower, honeycombs should be up to your usual high standard in no time mate!

Can you give me a comparison between the Samurai and Iron Heart 21oz denims?

If you have slim thighs, you could size down 1 to a size 29. My size 33 710xx's have stretched to a 35" waist. I generally ignore the waist measurement and buy based on the thigh measurement, since the waistband of most jeans will stretch 1-2".

[Jord666]

Well my Tripple Works are a 33 waist (I've lost weight since then) and the thigh measures 12" and I have some room in that, the Samurai are 11.75 before a wash, how much will these shrink?

Thanks again!

[Jord666]

Just measured a pair of my slim fitting jeans and they are hugging the thigh and measure 11.5" will the samurais be too tight after a soak? Do I have to soak them? Couldn't I just wash them in cold water whenever I decided they needed it?

Thanks again!

[Cold Summer]

Just go true to size. That's what I did and the fit is perfect - I'm definitely glad I didn't size down on 710s. It's already pretty much the perfect slim cut. For what it's worth, mine is a size 31 and the top thigh is 11.75.

@maxpower, honeycombs should be up to your usual high standard in no time mate!

Can you give me a comparison between the Samurai and Iron Heart 21oz denims?

Thanks Mate. Well yes, the Iron heart Denim feels softer and a bit more breathable, and, in fact, appears to be a tiny bit heavier (could be wrong though). The Samurai Denim needs time to soften up. Both are pretty equal in weft, as often seen heavier denim is less slubby. So, compared to the 19 oz 710 denim, the 21oz VX denim is way more regular. it also appears a bit lighter than usual denims, maybe its because of the weft, you can see more of the white yarn.

^^Regarding the sizing: I'd not size down on 710s, if you're a 30" in your best fitting jeans, pick those 710, that measure just about 31", soak hot and you're good.

[birgitte]

I just got a pair of 710s in a sz. 30. Quite tight when I tried them on raw, but I figured that being a girl I can get away with some tightness and decided to keep them. The weight and stiffness also made them feel tighter than they actually were according to measurements.

I soaked twice, the last time while wearing them. The thighs now measure a little less than 11.4" and I think there's some shrinkage left still. Again, it's not comparable since the female form is different, but my waist is 28" and I measure about 31.5" around the point where these jeans hit, and there's absolutely no way I could have sized down on account of my thighs and hips.

Edit/additional info: After three days of wear the waist and top block have loosened up quite a bit and I can wear the jeans a little lower (half an inch, maybe), which means there's a little more room (or the impression of a little more room) in the upper thigh.

[Jord666]

If my current slimmest denims are measuring 11.5 and are Completley hugging my leg will these be too tight after a soak? I'm wondering weathe to size down on a pair of s5000vx instead?

What you guys recommend?
