Samurai Jeans

[CJ23]

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.

I wish BIG would do a S003jp cut with 710 denim and pockets.

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

 

Samurai calls the S0500 the "regular taper" and I think that's pretty much spot on.

yo whats going on . i had to wash my 21oz'ers . i spilled gear oil on them which resulted me in not wearing them for several weeks, I tried EVERYTHING to get the smell out without having to throw them in the washer machine. Although Nothing worked!! I washed them yesterday and the smell is pretty much gone thanks to all the prep work i had to do before , if you wear your jeans during auto work  stay away from gear oil/trans oil.! shit smells like death! I am pretty upset that i had to wash them but they fit a lot better, and smell great. anyways enjoy the evo  of everyday wear since january except the past several weeks.

Amazing. Fit pics?

[drew_breeze]

Not afraid to wash them , just was trying to go a different direction with evo. 

 

a couple fit pics.

Those jeans look nuts! Nice work!

[BrownMetallic]

wasn't feeling the wide-straddled back pockets, so i re-positioned them.  

IMO, the 1" diagonal tweak towards the center made quite an impact on the aesthetic fit.

Looking for a pair of samurai s710, my true waist measured with a measuring tape is 31 inches, I wear a 28 in Eternal 811 comfortably. For this pair of s710 I'm looking for a slim-straight fit that's not too tight. I made the mistake of going size 28 on my skull 5010xx, which are way too tight after the second wash.

 

So I've been thinking of getting a tagged size 30, debating between a 30 and 31 right now. B_f's fit guide warns me not to get a 29 haha, which is unfortunately what BiG has in stock. Anyway I called in and they said they were expecting  a shipment of blue shadows in by mid June and the 15th anniversary 710 in by the end of June, so I have some time.

 

Ideally I'd like a fit like this: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6675573493_a183651797_b.jpg

 

This is jonsc's pair, anybody remember how he sized?

 

Also I'm debating between the 17 oz vx and 19 oz xx denim, this is my first time buying a pair of Samurais so any help would be appreciated. I'm having trouble deciding because of the lack of blue shadow evolution pics I can find, I know there's a lot of 710 19 oz evolution pics!

Blue in Green has brought back the Wrangler repro Jin, this time in the 17oz LHT grey weft denim instead of the super slubby stuff on the last run!

Very tempting.

 

Though it's not the same denim, you can search for Casper's(?) old pair of these and see some of the most amazing jeans ever worn.

^^ if you can wear a 811 in 28 than a size 31 in the 710 is out of question. look into the size 30 (or maybe even 29?!)

 

google for the S5000VX to see evo pics. It uses the same 17 oz denim like the blue shadow

Sneak Peek of the 2013 Autuum - Winter season. The quality isn't great but you can get an idea of what's coming:

 

 

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks for uploading! They are bringing out a lot of 25oz stuff it seems.

Any more info about the S510XX25ozGA?

What is the GA for?

[Kobe Beef]

No idea, but they had a pair there and they were thick... I really dig the golden buttons but dunno about the different color arcs.

[louisbosco]

Where you got those from?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Samurai give those catalogues out when they show their new collection

[Kobe Beef]

Yeah but they don't have the official catologues yet. Just stapled printed sheets and they gave me some free pens too.

[louisbosco]

Ahh damn. Wished I could've got my hands on those!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They re not that special. I've got 2 or 3 of them from different collections. They are the same you could get from the Samurai HP. They are available as PDFs there and those "catalogues" are just the print out of those PDF files.

Took this while bored at work

My 710xx , started wearing these to work a few days ago and so far they have been taking a beating ( trying my best not to get them covered in oil )

[louisbosco]

ahh right. anyway finally viewing them from my computer. damn. samurai gonna make me broke this year.

[bradl]

Damn, I woud totally get that jacket if it wasn't $900ish. What is that style of jacket/vest called?

[Kobe Beef]

Leather York Denim Down Jacket/Vest?

 

The blue one was a beauty...

[Warakia]

No 710 nor 003 . High hopes for the BiG collars though, especially the black one. 

[SyrupLocker]

Sup guys looking to get a pair of samurais of rakuten soon

im looking for a slimmer fit similar to naked and famous weird guys, i own a size 30 in lht and they fit pretty good

 

what fit should i go for with samurais, or should i go with another brand?

[skipsfaster]

I bought a pair of 710s at BiG and they're too big for me even after 2 hot soaks. Is anyone interested in a trade? My pair is size 34 and I'm looking for a size 33. If not, I'm also willing to sell.

710s posted a few days ago got their first wash (they originally had an initial hot soak).  Waist shrunk down to 30.75" (size 31), but length didn't change much.  I like the way they fit right now a lot, but still need to get a hem, so I'm going to get that taken care of in the next few days.  I usually have an inseam of 33-34", but these are still triple cuffed in these photos.  I'm starting to think that maybe getting a 30 would've been optimal, but I can live with them slightly loose once they've stretched back out.
