^just sent you a PM. AFAIK DC4 only stocks the 510 in 21 oz denim, their 5000 is the 17 oz model (could have changed in the meatime, though).

post-soak I assume?

Most guys try to get a slimmer look with these. They look kinda like my 510 fits

yes. post soak

 

i'm kind a skinny guys, thats why i'm getting 710 to get a slim straight fit

is it weird to see someone like me wear this 710?

[Max Power]

It's just the huge hip flair...Dunno if this gets better with wear. Are they loose in the waist and you tied them real tight with a belt? They look a bit like that.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you can't size down in the waist, then the cut is too full for you. Or you are too skinny for it. Unless you want them to fit like that, of course.

Maybe the S003JP is the better cut for you...or a different brand

+1

 

Shows again, that the 710 is not a real slim or even skinny fit. The IH 555, those slim PBJs or bybeatle might be better for your build.

it's not loose in the waist, maybe my thigh is to small so there is a huge hip flair 

 

yeaps this is not my first samurai

i also have s003jp and ih 555

 

i want that type of fit   , thanks for the input

 

*btw sorry for my bad english

I think your 701 look great man, I even dig the hip flare. 

 

On a side not washed my 5k again after working in them all weekend. The contrast is a lot higher now, but not ridiculous which is kinda what I want.

hi. i was in touch with a guy from "2nd" (rakuten) because i want to order a samurai s5000vx, 21oz.

does anyone here has any experience with this store?

 

My experience dealing with 2nd are:

 

Pros:  

• Great selection of items
• Fast communication
• Fast delivery (but other Rakuten stores use EMS so no difference)

Cons:

• Don't speak English and communicating with translator can be challenging
• Shipping rates is more expensive than other Rakuten stores
• They don't provide measurements - only display what is available from brands they stock

Hey Bill e jean, get in touch with Yuichi at Pirates. See if he has what you're looking for. 2nd is a great shop, but it's so easy to order from Yuichi.

[Bill_e_jean]

thanks, s-town!

,...and also to BlackPig, of course!

I think it's fine. I used to be a Size 30 and the proportions gave my S710 a nice slim fit.

 

Now that I've gained weight and I am now a Size 32, I really like how my pair fits. Straight and a bit slim. I think that's how the cut should be in the first place.

 

I placed my first order with Yuichi. I was initially going to go BiG like I always have, but I'm tired of stacking and it's hard to calculate the correct pre-soak/wash length which I've tried and always missed by 2 inches (since I"m scared).

 

So I just had Yuichi wash the jeans for me and hem them to the perfect length. Now my inseam has 1 small break when I wear sneakers, exactly what I wanted.

 

Yuichi has amazing English, I don't know why peopel deal wtih 2nd at all. Yuichi can you get any pair of jeans anyways. I also think I'm going wash by Yuichi from now on. What's the point of hot soaking when you can't get all the shrinkage out. 

 

I have no weird creases since he doesn't tumble dry.

what's yuichi's website?

wow. nice s5000vx.  mine is about a year but nowhere near that!

[Kobe Beef]

Apparently the owner has worn them for 2 years without a single soak.

[TheIntelligentHoodwinker]

0500. About 4 years old I think. Pretty much retired these as they're in quite a sorry state. Pockets have disintergrated, and crotch is badly worn. Doing a clothes clear out today and debating what to do with them. Might throw them away, unless anyone wants to save them from the bin?

 

Size 31. Never been hemmed.

wouldn't have [those] fadez if they didn't touch water.  

they were prolly worn dry for a spell .... occasional soaks w/o the benefit of wash til much much later.

[aho]

hoodwink, why throw them out?!

[One Thousand]

What is the difference between the normal 710s and the 15th anniversary ones?

[Potsnu]

Since you're most likely getting 2nd production now, just a pin and gold letters on the red tab.

 

Yep....exciting stuff.
