Here are some pics of my type III denim jacket. Purchased from BiG in March 2012. I just washed it for the first time (though it came one-wash).

[Foxy2]

Coming along nicely!

[Quoise1203]

Thanks! I'm really impressed with the texture and color of the texas cotton used here. Starting to contemplate a s0500 purchase in the future!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Haha..yeah do it! Total Texas Cotton tuxedo (will join you then)

Emaze did it some years ago

[rwing]

Wow, they put hidden rivet on 710bk? I thought theyre using black arc

[snchz]

I have done my first hot soak to my new S5000vx 17oz. They have shrunk about 1,5" on the waist and now fit me perfect on the waist but I want a little more shrinkage in tights and inseam. I´m afraid with waist because if They shrink 1" more I can not buttoning. What do you think guys can I do? another hot soak while wearing?

Are size 29 and I think samurai manufactured my jeans a little small than normal on waist (30,3")

The 17oz vx denim stretches a lot so you should have nothing to worry about

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well size 29 and waist with 30,3" (raw measurement, tight?) sounds totally normal to me. All good.

The waist will stretch back out to at least 30,3". A second hot soak should do no harm. But I'm not sure if you will get much addition shrinkage in the leg with only a soak. Got some fit pics?

[snchz]

Yes, here are 2 pics with jeans measurements:

RAW, BEFORE SOAK:

Waist: 30,3"

Front rise: 10,2"

Back rise: 13,5"

Tight: 11,8"

Knee: 9"

Inseam: 34,8"

Post Soak 1:

Waist: 29,1"

Front rise: 9,8"

Back rise: 13,1"

Tight: 11,8"

Knee: 8,8"

Inseam: 32,8"

Thanks!

That's how a 5000 should fit (looks quite good on you I might add). You aren't likely to find a slimmer fit in this jean that is still comfortable.

I also agree you won't get much more shrinkage unless you put them in the dryer. My size 32 shrunk from 34 to no less than 32 with hot wash and partial machine dry, and you are working with less fabric here.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Exactly, that's how a S5000 should fit. If you are used to more skinny jeans well then you bought the wrong band/model. But I'm sure you will get used to it. And when you start to wash them in the machine a bit later, they will shrink still a small amount

[Cold Summer]

That's a great fit. And before somebody starts complaining that the inseam is tooo shoooort, let me just say that's the perfect length for people who aren't gangsta Asian kids or steam locomotive conductors.

[snchz]

Ok thanks! I love the fit and I usually wear straight slim so the fit is ok.

I think I´m going to do a second hot soak because I want 1" more shrinkage on inseam and 0.5 in tights.

[Quoise1203]

I took a fit pic of my denim jacket. You can tell it's a little tight buttoned up, but the fits not terrible.

[BlackPig]

IMO the fit is perfect. So I recommend not to do a second hot soak. However, it's your jeans do as you like.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx Quoise1203, nice slim fit!

[mange]

Gave my Samurai s5000VX 21oz a 60 degree machine wash after 4 months of wear. I noticed that they started to smell when it rained the other day so I decided that it was time for a wash.

I just receive my s0500xx in one wash state from Yuichi:

Here is the fit pic, it's waaaaaaayyyyyy too big... I don't understand why. The waist is good (i put easily my hand but it's not that large)

All the other things look pretty loose...

I'm thinking of selling this and take a sizedown... I'm not sure yet. Maybe this fit isn't for me...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It really looks a lot bigger than mine. If they are one-wash and you can now fit your hand easily in, a size down is a good idea. Not sure if the fit will change a lot then though. 2 sizes down might be pushing it

[Max Power]

Too bad, the cut isn't very flattering on you. At least, totally different than the 47 type I recall being the 0500XX...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the fit from the back isn't that bad. It looks worse from the front.

dunno if the S0500XX is modeled after a certain Levi's cut.

[Quoise1203]

Kinda looks like a s0510 was mislabeled as a s0500... After the measurement complaints on the new lot 710s, I wouldn't be surprised.

If really need to soak, hot soak from below the top block ... as in from crotch to hem

[beautiful_FrEaK]

fit pics of s5000vx.

I just have to quote this as this is the best fit on a pair of S5000VX I've ever seen!

It's been a year. How do they look by now?

[S-Town]

Yep, those look perfect!
