[beautiful_FrEaK]

from now on, you should always take pictures of my jeans..they look better then

[cmo]

Anybody had any update from Gordon on what to expect with regard the 710 collabs? Timeframe?

[goki]

nowhere near as cool as the sams posted before me but I'd like to contribute

quick pics of my tapered 710s. haven't kept track of wear but I believe 5-6 months. one soak a couple months ago + numerous rain soaks, no washes.

(ipod photos, lol)

Those wallet pattern is so cool....Can tell its B_f jeans from 10-20 yards distance.

my pair of 710

love those pair of 710, smooth n vintage looking

my 710xx, since november 2010 (6 washes, 4 soaks)

I'm calling shenanigans....

I never could understand why people would fake a worn in pair of jeans to be their own. Or anything for that matter...

Good catch. But i don't think it is definitely a stolen pic. I'm not positive the pic of the Jan 13 pair seems to have been taken later, as the colors seem more washed out. Could be he forgot his password and created another account to post an update. However, it's suspicious either way.

edit: nvm, it's the october pair that looks more washed out. I suspect you are right about the stolen pic.

Around March-April if they get it done on schedule. BTW, getting my 710s out of the closet made me fall in love with the cut again.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and especially...why again? your pair isn't that great Flash

I think they must do it just to get a reaction

Poor souls.

Finally, someone who has tapered his 710s. Did you do it at a tailor? Were you pleased with the result? I think I am going to taper mine as well but I don't have any experience of tapering good raw denim.

hahaha great catch. btw ikuwon also my id, forgot the password back then and sadly the email i used being hacked by those idiots spammer. decide to make new id .__.

I've been off the denim wagon for quite some time now and I'm getting a pair of 710's. I have a pair of lot 10 710's, should I go for the same size on lot 14?

[Max Power]

Before b_f chimes in and answers your question - is it definitely Lot 14 or just a current new model? Lot 15 has been made for quite some time and they might be at Lot 16 in the meanwhile.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

dunno if this year's production for the 710 has already been done so I think Lot.16 isn't out yet.

Personally, I'd take the same size. But better ask for actual measurements if the pair in question and then, you can maybe size down one from your lot.10 pair...maybe

[Marw]

Thanks for the help guys!

Sizing question, is it safer to go snug or looser on sizing with 710s?

My main concern would be the thighs because I have muscular thighs (6ft/215lb). I am TTS 34 and will be going with 35. In the past, I couldn't even fit in 710s 34, but I was able to fit in 35 and was snug. Just concerned with the shrinking and never have gone 36. Thanks for your advice!

Can't comment on the 710s, but your burgers look delicious!!!

[Max Power]

One site back you will see me wearing 34s and 35s. Maybe it helps. I personally would never buy a pair, that feels snug in raw state already. Maybe the cut isn't just made for you.

I am smaller than you, but have some issues with seat/thighs due to lifting (6'2" ~190lb). I have two pairs of Samurai denim in size 34 (19oz 510s and 17oz 5000), and I just bought 710s (also 19oz) in 35. I could go into detail about the fits, if you want, but in summary: The 19oz denim did not shrink a whole lot for me on the initial soaks I gave either pair, but is reported to continue shrinking for some time. It also hardly stretched, not nearly as much as the 17oz "Zero" denim. The 710 is a much less slim cut than I expected, and I probably would have been OK in a 34, but I am quite happy with the fit of the 35. The thighs are perfect for me at this size, very similar to the thigh room in the s5000 but less than the 510

Thanks for the help and advice guys! i was going to pull the trigger, but now will pull back and do some more research. If you have any recommendations for larger/muscle type cut, I'd appreciate it!

[dave28]

Hi guys, I used to own the S5000GX-T and had to sell because did not fit anymore. Are there any models out now that have the exact same denim and same or simular cut. I`m sure the s5000gx-t were 17oz but not Zero denim but I could be wrong. Thanks.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Chubacca: you could look into the S0500XX...it's a bit bigger overall but still tapered

@dave28: no, there are no pairs using the same denim

[Chubacca]

@Chubacca: you could look into the S0500XX...it's a bit bigger overall but still tapered

What do you think about S5000VX vs S0500XX?

What are your thoughts of Texas cotton with the S0500XX? Again, thanks!

Wasn't the GX denim essentially the VX denim, but with colored wefts? Regarding texture, they seemed very close. Maybe a slight bit less heavy though...

Thanks I will try the VX if thant is the case, I loved the cut so much and the weight of denim was spot on IMO

the 0500 gives you more room in the top block. with the lower rise and the fitted top block, I'm not sure the s5000 will fit you the way you want.

you can compare the measurements on blueingreensoho

[rosarkar]

Are the Samurai 710 available in sizes smaller than 28 via Ratuken? It appears BiG only carries sizes 28 and up.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

AFAIK, 28 is the smallest size they make in this cut
