Samurai Jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes they are. oh don't forget the little label inside the jeans sewn on the pocket bags

^^ I only remember that many guys about the denim ripping early

Which one rips early? the S5000AI 24oz?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the S5000AI-10SP from Foxy. At least 2 dudes from Sufu had problems and not many more around here owned a pair and wore them for a long time

I really like my 710 the 19oz Denim is a killer so after weeks of reflection i decided to pull the trigger on another 19oz pair. I was closed to buy a 3009 from flat head wich for sure will be my next pair. But for now (sorry for that Max) i've decided to pull the trigger on a Naniwa special 19oz pair.

SD1 to achieve a more slim cut than my 0500 wich is more loose than my 5000. Anyway will post update on this.

Thanks b_F. Sorry to hear this. Would be such a waste if that happens. That pair looks great.

You ask; I deliver.

 When going through the old comments I found that most people were commenting on how Samurai got the sizing wrong and everybody had to (or should have) size up at least 1 if not 2.

Already tried them on and the sizing works good for me. (The S5000 cut in general is on the loose side.)

Size is 33" - I do not dare to touch them and in stead will try to do cuffs - amazing denim and a deep, deep, deep (natural) indigo color.

Will take proper pictures probably next week or so...

.

i was referring to b_F with regards to sizing up.

 

mine was TTS @W33.  i did have a problem early on about the fabric being in constant/perpetual flux.  normally, denim stabilizes quite a bit after a 2nd soak,  but  denim on these kept yoyo-ing between shrink/stretch well beyond the 2nd soak.

 

stretching the waist back out was such a pain [literally] due to the stiffness & ruggedness of the denim.  also,  i learned about a couple of owners who complained about fabric tears & thread breakage, so i thought i'd do  periodic soaks to temper & stabilize the fabric ... 'stuck a wooden hanger @waistband every time.

 

anyway,  here's mine after @4yrs = 18mos+  effective wear.  these [true blues] are like the "True Blood" of the denim world  ... they just won't get old,  nor fade away.

thanks summer, much appreciated. damn that's one cool car. and his gmt master is freaking dope.

^^ Hi BM,

Thanks for extensive overview/summary - just great!

Did you do any repairs so far?

[BrownMetallic]

Surprisingly, not at all. Everything's holding up really well.  the fabric itself is still immaculate, not much indigo loss, even after all these years.

 

structurally,  the threads stayed on kept the jeans together fabulously ... unbelievably even on the pockets. . of course,  i do preventive reinforcement on my jeans from the getgo, before they hit the road.  just [anal]  that way,  i guess

Sizing down sound like a good thing in these. Great decision, you'll love them.

Some 710 pics

[knucks]

so, you like jeans?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I don't think so...I see only 8 pairs

[Maynard Friedman]

^^^ it's like a game of twister between the Invisible Man's family, clad only in denim waist overalls.

[501XX4EVER]

I think that the correct term for those pictures is "an orgy of denim". You're welcome.

Care to say how many you have? Always been curious.

[j_kaminari]

Hi. I'm pretty new in the denim community. i got a pair of Samurai jeans model SJP003. due to my waist problem. I'm like 26-28 waist. i think it's a new model for that jeans. Is that pair a slubby pair of jeans? Because after a few washes, it seems have like hairs on it. If you know what i mean. Mind sharing any thoughts? Really appreciate it.

I wasn't all that serious with my post. I just found knuck's post disconcerting as we all like jeans around here. Maybe I didn't get his humor.

I'll count and update the appropriate thread later

Haha, alone the fact that you have to count and don't know it by heart says a lot. Try to google "gear acquisition syndrome". And book a rehab room for me as well.

Nice collection. Out of all of those, which one is your favorite pair?

[Max Power]

Evisu is my guess. Or Denime 66XX.

Edited September 4, 2013 by Max Power

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If I had one favorite pair I wouldn't have such a collection

 

In no particular order:

Denime 66XX (Shins), Evisu #2000 No.1 and Samurai S0500XX

 

If I only look at the denim:

Eternal denim, the old Denime XX denim, the old Samurai 15oz Texas Cotton denim, Samurai Zero denim and Fullcount's XX denim, (2nd edit) and Warehouse does make great denim too

Hi all

 

I have some friends who are travelling to Tokyo on business from the UK in a couple of weeks. They've kindly offered to pick me up a pair of Samurai as I don't currently own a pair. I like the look of the s710XX. I'm struggling to find a store with an online site where I can see they have them in stock. Basically it's very kind of my friends to do this for me and I would prefer not to direct them to a store where they don't have the jeans.

 

I wonder could any of you possibly help. I tried looking for stores mentioned in this thread but have either missed them or the ones I have found don't appear to have a 32 in stock. Is there something I'm missing? Could any of you suggest a place I could direct them to?

 

Many thanks in advance.

S5000VX25oz

[Zenshiro]

Just measured my bb w33

 

Not really digging the back rise on these and the waist.

 

Looking @ BIG measurement and comparing with the measurements on the bb, measuring using the ih way,

 

Can I say, I can safely size on w31 on the s5k 25oz with thigh measuring 12.5inch before washing, considering the stretching and shrinking since my bb thigh measures 13inch?

 

The waist on the bb measures 33inch now, same as per tagged size, considering I can easily slot my fist in, I'm assuming I can fit into one that measures 32inches.
