It will only affect the stacking fades in a way that they won't be that pronounced. That shouldn't worry you in my opinion

edit: fit looks good from what I've seen

Noob questions here. Tried going some pages back - but didn't find any answers.

What are the most slim Samurais - is it the S003JP? Trying to find something similar to an APC PS. And should I size down like in APC's? Normally a 30/31 waist.

Thanks in advance!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

S003JP is the simmest

and no you shouldn't size down like you do on APC and then..Samurai won't give you fits like APC. If that's what you after, try a different brand

Huxtable, if the 710's don't end up working out, you might want to check out the Iron Heart / Self Edge collabs. 23oz denim, super dark blue, and a waist-to-thigh measurement ratio that might be perfect for you. Pay no attention to the tagged size, go by the actual waist and thigh measurements, and be aware that these don't really stretch (they also don't shrink because they're sanforized).

Anyone know what Lot number the latest S710XX should be ?

[Do7]

quite a big followers of samurai here huh..

[Rightyow77]

Does anyone have an experience of wearing samurais uncuffed with sneakers and cuffed with dress boots? How being sometimes cuffed and sometimes not affects your fades?

What?

Nice fit although the waist looks constricting

[blm14]

What sort of weird places? Halls of mirrors? Haunted houses? I suggest you stay away from them...

The belt loops tore off. The crotch blew out like 5 times in 6 months RIGHT along the seams, the back pocket stitching came updone at one point. Go back in this thread - there's extensive photos of them a long time ago. It was like anywhere that the slub was thin just gave out.

Great...once you stuck with sammys its hard to pull the hand break.

[HUNCHBAK]

They will indeed shrink 2-3 inches after one or two hot soaks.

As you say you had them tapered (unless you meant to say hemmed), I've no idea how they'll look with sneakers; what did you have them tapered to?

Generally 710s look good with sneakers.

I'll Second that. 90% of the time, I'm wearing kicks. And I like the shape of the 710. I'm pondering if I should switch my HWDC jean of choice with another pair of 710's... Ah....

[LckyChrmsBBoy]

Newp, can you please post measurements? I think thats the slimmest fit I've seen on someone as slim as you.

[newp]

Of course once I will be at home. What shall I measure exactly? And the slimmest samurai's model is s003jp, I was too afraid to buy them.

[Warakia]

That's what happened with my 710s post-soak. Truth to be told, I am glad that I haven't sized up.

I still haven't decided should I roll them or not but I am going to wear them with my dress boots as well (when the cuff is most certainly needed).

Does anyone have an experience of wearing samurais uncuffed with sneakers and cuffed with dress boots? How being sometimes cuffed and sometimes not affects your fades?

This is basically the fit I'm looking for, info on your regular waist size / size you bought and such? Much appreciated!

newp: did you put a hanger in the waist during the soak to prevent the waist from shrinking ? you soak inside out ?

[newp]

My waist (exactly where I wear my jeans, they are low rise) is 85 cm, I've bought 30 size.

newp: did you put a hanger in the waist during the soak to prevent the waist from shrinking ? you soak inside out ?

Yes, I've put metal hanger in the waist closed by all buttons. I've left it there while drying them. Soaking was as they are (not inside out) in 50-55 celsius water for 50 minutes. I haven't added any vinegar or salt.

[nakamoto]

newp: so there is no shrink on the waist ? after soak air dry them ? or in the sun ? im gonna soak my pair soon. =)

Yeah, dried them in the night actually (soaked them in the evening), at morning they was dry already after 2 hours in the sun. Waist has shrunk a bit but not too much, and stretched afterwards.

2nd still ships international I think shipping to me (canada) was 50$ on top of th price of the jeans.

[S-Town]

2nd ships internationally, and hems. it's not that much better of a deal though, unless you are 100% sure of your size/fit. you're stuck with the jeans if they don't work out. they are a great shop though!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you want easier (English) communication, order from www.kaizoku-pirates.com

I found that Yuichi usually takes less money for shipping and he even sometimes give discounts on shipping (ok, haven't ordered from him the last year).

And if you only see one-wash jeans at his website, just contact him and ask for raw. he can organize that for you

[dave28]

I just ordered from e2nd this week without a proxy and also in the past. I do it by cross-referencing about 6 different translator machines and carefully choosing the way I word things and form sentences. Also when you describe exactly what you want there is a pattern they want you to follow and they tell you how your paying, you wont have a choice at first. I`m in the UK so this is the cheapest way by far and tons of choice of Samurai and Flathead.
