Samurai Jeans

17oz s5000vx, worn most days for a year starting Oct. 2010, then sporadically.  Probably washed four times or so, just when they needed it:

Slap some Venetian on those Quoddys, cander.

Best chukkas out there.

[cander49]

Haha, good eye!  I just ran out of the creme I was using and they're definitely due for more.

Those 634VX on the cat look supper interesting

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.

 

 

These are a tagged size 31? I like the fit. I'm in the market for a pair of 710s myself and I would like a similar fit. How did you size on these?

 

In response to b_F on page 624... My eternals may be tagged size 28 but the waist actually stretched out to a 31 (my actual waist size), I've grown a bit in the waist area from squatting over the past year so I guess my eternals have grown with me haha, I do not need to wear a belt with them.

 

Do you really think a tagged size 31 in 710 (TTS) would be too big? I'm expecting some growth and I would prefer not having skin tight jeans after a couple washes (happened to my 3sixteen and 5010xx both tagged 28). I would like my samurais to become  a pair of jeans I can still wear in a couple years without being too tight.

Still holding my breath on some black denim in a 510 cut... But those 25oz 510's do look interesting.

Thanks.  Keep in mind that these are right out of the wash and a hot dry, so this is as tight as they get.  I sized up one (true waist size of 30), so if you want them to fit like this normally (not just right out of the wash), you'll want to go TTS or even maybe one down.

Do all Lot 16 have yellow arcuates?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no, the 19oz denim jeans will still have black arcs

I was wondering because I this pair (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-s0500xx-15th/

) looks like yellow but everything else besides the S5000VX have black arcs

Edited June 1, 2013 by Raining

[beautiful_FrEaK]

usually all pairs have the yellow arcs except the 19oz models. In Lot.13 all models had black arcs because of the Levi's lawsuit

 

edit: and a few special models have black arcs

Why is it that the 19oz has black arcs?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

designer's decision?!

Asked Gordon if Samurai plans on bringing back Jins with the normal white weft, this was his response..

 

" I'm not sure yet if Samurai will bring back the old 17oz Jin denim. They

didn't have an answer yet if they would produce more which is why we scooped
up the Grey weft ones just in case."

 

I hope they decide to bring the old denim back the current Jin models look so flat and bland.

[S-Town]

Nice!  Is Samurai Honten the brand's own store?

 

Does anyone have an email contact for this store?  http://ameblo.jp/ontheroad-2010/

 

I can't seem to discern an address from the blog...

Thanks Hog!  The link I posted was actually for a different shop.  Re-reading it, it definitely looks like I was still talking about Honten.

[bradl]

 

I think the S552XX25 looks a lot better on, as opposed to it laid out.

Thanks man.  It'll probably take me down into the recesses of the dark web, but I'll give it a whirl.
