Samurai Jeans

[bradl]

So got the real pair of 710 today, in a size 32. Was able to get all buttons up, but just hard as fuck as the denim is so stiff.

 

 

Sorry, the pictures are quite big, but not a photo editing type of dude. Really love all the little extra doo dads that came with the jeans, and the inside of the coin pocket is beautiful. Will definitely be using this.

Man the fit difference between Cander and Bradl is so big.. The latter being the fit I'd prefer to get.

If anyone's looking for a pair of 710's in 35 chain-stitch hemmed to 34" (lot #14), I'm thinking of parting with mine. They've been soaked twice but still have a bit shrinkage left. Pretty much unworn expect around the house to try out the fit. I think I'm going to order some 33 or 32's.

What's the leg length now after soak?

[mr.dead]

What's the leg length now after soak?

Sorry, they were hemmed after the two soaks, so the current leg measurement is 34", maybe closer to 33.5"

 

EDIT: My bad.

 

Just measured everything again. The inseam is now a 32" and the waist is a 34". I don't think they'll be much more shrinkage left but maybe a bit.

Unfortunately too short for me... Need around 35 on the leg. Cheers

No worries, I was unfortunately in the more short and stalky crowd when I purchased these, but hopefully there's someone with a similar build on this forum. I'm not set on a price, but it'd be sweet to get enough to replace them with another pair. I'm also open to trades if someone needs to size up.

Put my jeans in for a second hot soak to try and get rid of as much shrinkage as I could, and pretty sure I got it all as this time didn't shrink much at all. But when I pulled them right side out, I noticed I have a bunch of vertical starch lines. GREATTTT

FYI, I sized up one, whereas his look like he sized down.  If you don't like my fit, don't size up...  The upper block seems quite loose compared to most pairs, even though I have big upper legs.  That said, a slightly looser pair is going to fade better, not to mention that I'm sick of nuthuggers, especially when I'm wearing them for 2 years for HWDC2, so I don't really mind.  The one thing that I don't like is that they tend to balloon a lot right at the knee.  Probably not much I can do about that?

a hem might help...in any case a hem would probably be a good idea

Yeah, I'm planning on it in the future, but want to make sure that all the shrink is out of the way before I shorten them.  I gave them an initial hot soak, but while the waist shrunk up, the length didn't change much, so I imagine they will shorten more in a full wash.  If I hem before that, they may end up being too short after I wash them.

Got them hemmed 1.5" when purchasing, was very thankful I did that as any more would just be way to much. It has to wide of a leg opening for me to feel comfortable stacking them.

what makes the s5000mo special, other than the triple stitch? different fabric?

Here's an update of my 5K 21oz at about 3.5 of wear. I wear these to work and pretty much every day here in north California when the weather isn't in the 90's or something ridiculous like that. Bummed that the middle button snapped off when I was working, snagged it on a piece of metal when I was unloading a truck, almost ripped the whole fly off. Also crotch threads are holding up, but the threads are already wearing away. These have been washed twice now, with one initial hot wash. Plan on washing them next week since these are the only jeans I wear to work and can't really hang them up to dry until I have a weekend off.

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but this might bring the term "denim porn" to new levels for some people here, but it looks like some Japanese dude has put some of his favorite faded Samurai's up on youtube.

Don't know if this helps people or makes things worse. :D

S0500XX or the 710XX. The 510 will be wider than your current jeans.

Is it correct to say the S0500XX is considered a slim straight type of fit?

[lololol]

Will we be seeing any more production of those 710s with hidden arcs? They're fucking nice

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If BiG or any other shop decides to make them, then yes. BiG is about to release 2 or 3 new 710 models IIRC. Maybe they have that detail

[cmo]

Does anybody know any details about these 2 or 3 models?

Edited May 27, 2013 by cmo

[beautiful_FrEaK]

MaxPower posted something about them some weeks ago. You have to dig a bit or wait until he posts it again. IIRC there was also already a tweet from BiG weeks ago

[cmo]

Yeah but little info on the tweet... Yellow Hawk's are a black version. Supposed to be doing a 15oz and 17oz indigo version but all just rumours at the minute. Nobody has any details.

[Flash]

I could be wrong but i remember hearing there was a 15oz indigo , 17oz indigo and 17oz black

Went today to the Samurai store here in Osaka to check out the Autuum & Winter collection preview and asked them if they were planning to do something special in the 710 cut and they told me they weren't.

Apparently this particular cut is way more popular abroad (although they didn't have many sizes left in stock) so I guess that is the reason BiG is taking care of the limited edition models for 710.
