Samurai Jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Samurais are all raw when delivered. Yuichi washes them (or better, his wife at home) because his Japanese customers prefer the one-wash models. Only we Westerners want the raw ones. So you should always ask him for a raw/non-wash pair if you prefer that. But it's possible that all his stock is already washed so you would have to wait until he gets a new pair (he usually do special orders for you then).

There are other companies that do wash their jeans on their own and deliver one-wash jeans directly. Like Eternal, Momotaro, Warehouse...they offer one-wash and non-wash versions.

My general rule of thumb is: the heavier, the more regular (less slubby) the denim gets.

The 24oz denim is indeed heavy and should be around 26oz after shrinkage. It doesn’t drape very well in the beginning and I haven’t been that long into my pair (I think it might even qualify for the HDWC2). But louisbosco would surely be able to tell you, that it adopts to your shape…or you to the denim

[demonator]

i too can tell you.

Well- have joined the Samurai gang at long last. One pair of tabbed & arc'd 710's winging their way to be. Looking forward to wearing 'em in.

Killing time before work , some pics of my 710's

[Cold Summer]

Really nice, Flash. The shape of the whiskers and combs is nearly identical to my 710s, so hopefully mine will look this good a year or so from now.

Anyone know where can I get Samurai 710xx in Paris? I just came to Paris to work and really don't know much about here.

I just love the fade look so much.

You can't only shop in Europe is DC4 in Berlin

Haven't bought a pair of Samurai in years. I'm thinking about picking up a new pair of 710, does Toronto have any stockists yet?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

No..only sources outside Japan are DC4 (Germany), BiG (USA), Take5 (HK and some more), Right Hand Distribution (Australia)

Who is Faldo ???

Damn trying them on beforehand would have been great. I hope 2nd is still a viable option for international shipping.

Checked this link posted on the last page

http://www.denimfuture.com/read-journal/18-months-samurai-710xx

Was surprised to see my 710's posted but when I read the article it was claimed they were owned by someone called Faldo ??? I'm not Faldo my name is Ryan

So I posted to find out why and they locked the topic and removed some of my posts , strange people

Envy is a honest form of appreciation. Though shit's getting ridiculous lately, people claiming other's pairs for e-fame. Poor souls.

[Maynard Friedman]

Flash,

Ironically, there is an advert at the top of the page on that link stating "History will never change..." but it seems in your case it has!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Wearing jeans is serious business

[Cold Summer]

Here are my S710s at about 50 days of real wear time. Definitely the best-fitting jeans I've ever owned.

[itsbenhere]

That's a perfect fit. Seeing pics of 710s has been pumping me up so much for mine. Few times are the cut and denim on a jean golden

[Aries]

Perfect fit. What size? Did you size up or down?

Edited December 8, 2012 by Aries

[Cold Summer]

True to size, 31. Although I wear my jeans on my hips, so they've probably stretched out an inch or so. The right leg looks a little strange in those pictures, I had just put on my shoes and the jeans hadn't really settled yet.

These are the only pair I've worn that has a slim upper thigh but isn't too tight in the knee (most slim taper jeans like Flat Head BSP and PBJ XX-011 are tight in the mid-leg because I'm tall and have long thighs. However, the PBJ XX-009 (sized down) and 3Sixteen 30BSP also seem like they'd be good fits with taper but room in the lower thigh, too.

[Max Power]

Great fit indeed.

Update in 5000VX 21 oz. Did a hot soak to get them fresh and crispy again.

[Casper]

Got my Jins tapered recently at Denim Surgeons, from the inseam. Never really posted fit pics before so here's how they look tapered one inch to a 7"leg opening lol

[Quoise1203]

Max, as always your evo looks fantastic, especially considering you've only been wearing them for a few months. I'm amazed you've been able to wear in both these and your eternals in a span of five months. Great work.

[MKMKMK]

Gonna buy a size 31 s710xx with 1 warm soak. Do I need to soak 1 more time or the 1 warm soak will be sufficient. As the measurement for the 1 warm soak is quite just nice for my fitting. Thanks in advance

Hey, I've been living in Shanghai for the last two years and used to go to Take 5 there. Now I'm back in Paris and I can tell the city sucks big time when it comes to buying decent denim.

As far as I know, you can find:

- N&F at Colette

- 45 rpm has got a store nearby

- APC stuff of course. Several stores in Paris.

- Nudie in several stores.

And I think that's it. As BF said, go to a cool city like Berlin. I bought my Momo ER007 at 14oz,the staff was nice. And there's DC4 too. So go grab some beers and buy new jeans there!

[whorichard?]

What's up guys heres a little denim update. My S710xx, worn for almost 2 years. With my BB sbgs and my indigo BB these aren't going to get much wear but I still love them haha.
