Samurai Jeans

[Cold Summer]

The top thigh is slim but that always stretches out - more importantly, the 710s have more room in the mid-thigh than most slim taper jeans.

Yesterday, I received a little package

Inside were 2 of my Samurai jeans. My S5000VX which have been hemmed and my S710XX, which needed a crotch repair. And I can tzell you..DC4 did an amazing job!

you see the repair?

Couldn't be happier with DC4's work!

[louisbosco]

wow. darning looks good.

[Warakia]

What's the turnaround for DC4's repair service? Need some darning done too but I'm never in Berlin for more than a weekend. Looks like they did a great job!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

As they were pretty busy and I just shipped them before they went to japan it took some weeks...don't know how long it would usually take but I guess more than a weekend

2 initial warm soaks and hemmed. what do you think? too baggy? cheers guys

[BlackPig]

proper fit

[toppp]

cheers guys. good thing i didn't size down like i did in other brands.

[Ghoul]

Looks good, looks a lot like my 710s fit actually

[everyinchofgod]

Yeah, I think once the denim settles with some wear those will be pretty righteous. I'm not familiar with this cut, is this a new model or did I just miss these somehow?

[toppp]

I think its a limited run with the upside-down "A" on the red tab.

the local Take5 in Bangkok said they made a run of 610 cut a few years back but in 15oz.

Blue in Green has some on their online store too, i think.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It's an old cut they reintroduced again. It started as a 15oz, got reintroduced in the RR-line (the ones that found money for earthquake victims and such) and this year in a 17oz version. Could be wrong though as I didn't checked, just writing out of memory

edit: the 17oz version might be even LHT if I remember correctly, so the good old Jins denim...worth a try!

Spot on. I had a look at these in person, and I'm fairly sure Samurai donates some of the proceeds from this model to the canine search and rescue squads, and the flasher or another card had a picture of the boss with one of the dogs.

Damn...I shouldn't have talked about Jins denim on those 610...temtping!

[leyori]

Had one and too big now. Lost too much weight

Need a proxy?

Celebrating one year of wearing this belt. Almost everyday of course. Has been treated with Boot oil and Mustang Paste. My favorite detail: the spot on the inside that didn't take up as much indigo as the rest of the belt - due to the leather patch underneath. And how the hairy structure has stayed around the buckle whereas it's smooth on the inner parts.

New:

Now:

^Can you see the shadow of the belttip?

^Mark of the patch

^watch the left back (patch trace)

(will continue the macro shots tomorrow with my S5000VX if you like).

Just added my first pair of Samurai's to my collection. My SEXI 14s are starting to get beat up and in need of some repairs, and my APC Petits are in an even worse state than the Imperials.

Went with the S003JPs - finished their soak earlier today, fit seems pretty promising so far!

[bahlfwd]

hey guys,

i currently wear s003jps and i am thinking of getting a pair of 710xx. i was wondering, with my skinny dude like me, slim thighs, etc..would the 710xx suit me? i am a sz 29 and i like slim cuts. should i size down on the 710xx or go tts? or is the s003jp a better cut for me and skinny dudes alike?

ps: reason i want the 710xx is the denim, arcuates, etc..

[poiuytr]

+/- 6 months

quick update

I said it often before, the 710 is a slim cut from Samurai, but not a slim cut in general. If you're into Nudie TLJ or APC cuts, the 003 is the closest you can get. And sizing down too much to achieve a slimmer cut is not the best choice IMO.

As announced - some macros of the S5000VX 21 oz around 4 months.

[Max Power]

And now - happy holidays and see you next year!
