Samurai Jeans

[udon]

Im 6'3" and I want alot of stacking.. hence the sagging...

[Cold Summer]

Stacking is so five years ago. Wearing pants that are the proper length is in.

[okisan]

sagging has nothing to do with stacking. inseam has everything to do with stacking. getting a little sick of people trying to justify wearing their pants around their nutsack.

[spitfiredealer]

I am all up for a bit of sagging and some stacking but they look silly. Did you go tts? If you did perhaps sizing up 1 maybe even 2 would you give the desired fit you are after.

Do you get more whisker if you have more room around the front? Of if its tight?

why is everyone getting mad at udon for wearing his jeans that he bought with his own money how he wants. udon i think u should sag ur samurais since i havent seen many non-Nudie/APC fades caused by sagging and i think u can rock the look.

well, for one, he's asking for sizing advice, but wearing the jeans 4 inches below where they are meant to be worn. who knows how the waist will fit that low on the torso? it probably depends how thick your balls are

stacks for days.

[aaronxxx]

might as well be a pair of true religions

[Cold Summer]

Having that many stacks makes you look short, even if you aren't.

Well, Heres a fit pic wearing the jeans as the manufacturer intended, guys. I think that Im just going to bite the bullet and soak these things. Sorry for the poor quality pics.

[movingslow]

dont be afraid to soak them, they look like theyll be awesome once you do.... also looks insanely better wearing them where they should be worn.

[udon]

^Thanks...

To my understanding to get all of (or most of) the shrinkage out of the way, I should just go for a hot machine wash w/no spin cycle.

What I am really aiming for is getting all of the inseam shrinkage out of the way in one soak/wash (is this possible with one really hot soak in a bathtub?)

And the jeans are actually lot 15, not 14.

[bod]

Hot soak with plenty of hand agitation will get them 99.9% shrunk

[udon]

alright. Im going to go soak these right now. is steaming hot water too hot? and would you say that about an hour is enough time?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

max shrinkage would be a hot wash in the machine followed by a tumble dryer...but that's pretty harsh and could leave unwanted creases& fades

[hiharry626]

thoughts on fit? They are post soak 710xx.

Was hoping someone could help me out. I'm wanting to buy my first pair of Sams - I've been looking at the s5000BKBs on BiG. If I was to get a size 36, how much do you guys think these would shrink down after a warm soak? The sizing chart says the tag 36 actually measures 38"...

My true waist is about 36"..would these shrink down enough to fit?

[Cold Summer]

In my experience hot machine washes get rid of all the shrinkage. However, some people say that 710s eventually shrink to a 36" inseam and mine are closer to 37" after two soaks.

[udon]

I just gave mine a hot soak with the hottest tap water i could get for 30min. My inseam went from 39" to 37"

when it comes time to wash my jeans, can I just use cold water to prevent any shrinking? or will they shrink with cold water as well?

[Quoise1203]

They'll probably shrink a bit more the next few times you soak/wash them. To get more shrinkage out of the way up front you should do a hot machine wash or a hot soak with manual agitation. I gave my 5000vx two hot machine washes as well as about 20 minutes in the dryer before I wore them, and I think I may still have gotten a small amount of inseam shrinkage when I washed them again after a few months of wear.

[boomtime8]

Do you guys see similar shrinkage around the waist; or just the inseam having the major shrink?
