Samurai Jeans

[Max Power]

gordon spoke about 17 oz and if they are lucky 21 or 24 oz.

the annie models come with pouch and golden arcs, the rest is standard afaik.

i will put up another fitpic these days. they are fantastic-the hidden arcs match the stitched ones as shadows and their reliefs become visible already. i am going for double cuffs and then decide wether to hem or not. heavy denim cracks pretty easy and i always rip my front hem. even a hot wash will leave it too long because of the long rise and loose fit.

compared to the 5000s: they are longer, the rise is way longer, thigh is wider but the taper is stronger, resulting in a smaller leg opening.

My favorite denim from Samurai - Jin series.

I´m going to buy a pair of samurais in 2nd store rakuten. I want to order the jeans hemmed. I have emailed and they tell me that they can soak the jeans before hem. Anyone has ordered jeans hemmed at 2nd? Do they soak more than once to get the total shrinkage?

I worry about ordering the jeans with the exact length and then shrink.

[Setone]

I've ordered hemmed jeans from 2nd, but left it raw. I wanted to do the soaking/shrinking process myself.

Therefore I added 2 or 3 inches to the my required length.

Not jeans but it is denim.

Hey all I got a question what is zero denim? What is also a popular or preferred denim the 710 or the 5000vx?

[laz]

I just ordered a pair of samurais in 2nd store rakuten (S3000VX-Black stitch).I've never purchased from Japan and wonder what kind of timeframe (ballpark) I might expect to the west coast.

Thanx, laz

much appreciated.

hey guys,

when i size for samurai or other unsanforized denim, should i get the tag size that will shrink to the waist measurement of my favorite pair? for example, my favorite pair measures 29", should i get a sz 29 in 710xx since it's supposed to shrink to a 29"?

pretty much, is my true size 29 since my favorite pair measures 29"?

[Max Power]

Better way is not to rely on tagged sizes but look at the postwash sizes of your favorite model. General rule on Samurai is, that they shrink to tagged size and stretch a few inches back. I buy them in a size that fits a little loose when raw. So if your favorite worn in denim measures 29" get the size that measures around 30" raw. Rule of thumb, more investigation might be needed in case you are really skinny or heavy.

Sam 710xx

[gnomed]

^ looks good and slim! How did you size?

Does the 710xx require multiple initial soaks or will I be fine with just one really hot one? If it does require multiple, do I let it dry and then soak again or just soak again while wet? Thanks!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

710 doesn't shrink very much so a secoand soak wouldn't hurt. I'd wait until they are completely dry in between soaks.

[nakamoto]

Drew_breeze your jeans look damn awesome! Hope my 710xx will turn out as good as yours.

More info about the 15th anniversary on a special 15th anniversary site

[gnomed]

^ great site. 2nd has the 15th Ann of the 710. I decided to keep it original and go with the regular 710 but they look great nonetheless.

Will there be a 25oz version?

[nakamoto]

Hello. I'm looking to order the 15th anniversary tee from samurai, I have no prior experience with samurai tee. It states one wash, so will it still shrink after wash or nope? Thanks in advance

Awesome results in such a short time with all fadings, wear marks and patina at the right places!!!!

You could have easily joined the current HDWC II with at least 3-4 pants at the same time for increasing your chances of winning.

Just unbbelievable.

Thanks for letting us share those updates and we're happy for more to come. I hope that you keep the patina alive on them
