[werd]

i went tts.

sz. 29 lot 14

they're a little tighter than i'd like, i would size up 1 if i could do it over.

Some of the best fitting 710 I've seen on this thread. Would love to see some post-wash (fit) snaps when you get a chance!

Yo people, small question/s. It is true that the Samurai Type III Jacket sleeves fits short? So short that would justify size up? Strongly considering to get one. Any comments?

[boey]

anyone here knows how to get my combs align every time i wash? i washed my jeans twice and both times did not align 100%

[Quoise1203]

@concret I am 6'0 190 and I have a size 42 type III that fits me well. I posted pictures in this thread towards the end of march or early april. The chest is maybe a little tight but I don't have any problem with the sleeve length.

[Concret]

Thanks Quoise1203! I'll take a look to your pics. That's curious, I'm 5'8 169 and according with the measures in Rakuten, I suppose to fit in the 42, but the sleeves were in the short side. 40 and 44 are not an option since the difference all around would be too much. Buy online a piece of garment with such steep price is a bit of a hassle. Some more help?

Edit: Quoise, would you be so kind to post the measures of your jacket please.

Love that pocket bag fabric!!!

[Planetarium]

Pretty sure I would have snagged those if they made a 28. Just enough bizarro Japanese flair without going over the top and I'm wearing looser cuts a lot these days.

[midnite9]

Not feeling the different color stitching but nice denim.

In other words... noooo.... need to patch up soon!

[Alex3000]

Man that 3000vx cut is tempting, torn between those or some sized up 510's.

erm..they do come in 28...

[saintkeat]

Oh snap.. Someone has to buy them now =P

[futurebass]

patch & pocket fabric are dope

[Planetarium]

erm..they do come in 28...

Didn't see any on Eight-g, Firststadium, or Moveclothing yesterday, but I must have brainfarted when I checked 2nd. Time to see if this fits the winter saving budget...

Edit: Though these are calling my name as well... Crotch rivet, buckle back, and the earth denim might beat out the sweet painted arcs.

Ninja Edit: Not the earth denim! Black over brown. That's a dealbreaker so back to coveting those WWIIs.

SAMURAI s710vx

4 months

[jaspar]

What's the verdict on Lot 15 s710 sizing? Smaller than usual?

My current Sams are Lot 9 or some such, back when Samurai could be counted on to reliably run big/TTS after hot wash.

Interested in buying some worn, Lot 15 710s, but seller's measurements show 1 inch smaller than tagged in the waist. Anybody know?

you can trust him. that's pretty normal.since lot.10 Samurai is never really much bigger pre-soak than tag size. it's common they shrink below tag size but stretch easily back

S003JP-A starting on the 11th month.

You can see the darning work on the back where it was completely reinforced.

All the crotch rips to date patched up.

official word from Samurai is

Please note that we mixed cottons from different counrties for our denim cloth, but mostly American

@hoggreaser: I hope it helps you!

What cotton on S710xx?

I know S0500XX use Texas, can't find detail on S710xx.

Looking at 2ND for S710xx's, anybody else worth looking at on Rakuten?

Also, Lot 12 - I think 2010, so no problem avoiding, must be 14 or 15 now?

( been reading your guide, BF... )

I went to check the type of cotton and found a translation of this on Rakuten.
