Samurai Jeans

[ajkran2]

Just bought a new pair of Lot 15 Samurai S710xx size 30s. The waist is a bit small right now, anybody have any experience with how much the waist will stretch? As of right now I can't button the top 2 buttons (first wear), but I like the rest of the fit. I included some pictures too.

and sorry my rooms hella messy haha

If those haven't been soaked yet they will be way too small. Exchange them for a larger size.

[ajkran2]

^I'm not really planning on soaking them. I can't exchange because big doesn't accept returns on altered items and I had them chainstitch them for me (stupid mistake...). I feel the legs fit nicely, its just the waist size is too small

[saintkeat]

But the min you send them for your first wash, its going to shrink quite a bit. I highly recommend selling them, and getting a new pair.

[Wörn75]

dude those are way too small. buy jeans that fit.

[BrownMetallic]

yea, 'agree__ swap or sell. sorry, man.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

shoukld I also give my opinion? if you can't really button them up pre-soak...indicator that they are way too small.

could you wear them after a soak? yes

could you wear them after multiple washes? i doubt it

would you have to fear premature damages? yes

sell and buy a new pair. at least one size bigger

Ajkran- you'll be fine... Find something with the circumfarence you want, jam it in the waist, and mist around the waist band with a spray bottle... That's why they chain stitch the waist band-for good give! Now all you have to worry about is the heavy, felled seam at the crotch, cutting your nuts up. Nice fit by they way!

Might be a stupid question, but Im loving Saint Keats pair of 003s. I know they have them in the regular 15 ounce denim but I was wondering if there were any plans on doing the special series again or something like it? The winter ones sounded so nice

There's nothing wrong with back pocket wallet holes, IMO. (Front-pocket phone fades, on the other hand, look gross.) I think it's better just to let it be unless the pocket seems like it's absolutely going to fall off. I never liked the look of back pockets that have been patched up with different denim a bunch of times.

Damn, that's a proper fit. I like these except for the back rise...

I patched it from the inside.... can't see anything from the outside..

I find it interesting that while they're a looser fit, I can see the pocket bags in front, and the pocket lining in the back.

Hey SuperFuture

Im about to buy a pair of 710xx but I have a few questions regarding the jeans..

1. Do the black 710xx shrink less or stretch less than the indigo 710xx?

2. If after a hot pre-soak my inseam measures longer than 36, does this mean that there is definitely more shrinkage left in them?

Im 6'3" and id like to keep the inseam as long as possible, but i dont want them to end up shrinking more in the future when I soak them and have my fades misaligned.

For example, If the inseam measures 37 after a hot soak (Ive seen alot of post initial hot soak measurements and the inseam measures 37") will they stay that length if I only use cold water to wash them? or will cold soaks shrink my jeans?

EDIT: is there any online stores beside BiG that sell 710xx? they just sold out of my size -__________-

Repeat soaks will continue to shrink the jeans until they're done. If the 710s start at 39", I'd expect they'd finish at 36". First soak might get you down to 37", you might need one or two more to get to 36".

[Ghoul]

Just something I found interesting. Stictching on my back left pocket coming undone and you can see the untouched denim underneath. Just thought the contrast was kinda neat, to see how much its faded so far.

Hey all. I'm thinking of getting a pair of Sams 710xx but unsure of the size I should get.

Worse of all, my country does not bring in Samurais so I can't try.

If i'm a size 28 on a Flathead what size should I be getting for sams?

Thanks guys!

[Cold Summer]

Hey Udon, I'm the same height and my 710s are 37" after two hot soaks/spins in the washing machine, I don't think they'll shrink anymore than that unless a drier is used. Mine are extremely long, there's plenty for stacking and easily enough for a double cuff. But I don't know how different the black denim is.

Jermms - I wear a size 32 in Flat Head BSPs and 31 in Samurai 710s.

Ikuwon those are unreal

[ikuwon]

i took it with iphone, crappy pics

[Cold Summer]

The shape of those whiskers and combs looks really good, Max. Actually, I think those will wind up better looking than your 710s with time.

And, your 710s are my personal favorites because they still have their dark blue color. I don't like 710s when they turn all gray.

[movingslow]

0500xx i think 8 months initial soak--> one machine wash

sorry for the crappy pics
