@panheadfan: erm...well

 

Ordering from Frisbee rakuten sucked. 15 Google translated emails I finally found the nerve to commit, though paypal not an option. They hit me with with a 4 (day) step process and kept stressing the jeans were non washed, no returns, etc. 1st the order confirmation, then, since the jeans aren't actually in the shop, they determine the weight and shipping costs. Leads us in to day 3, where total cost has been determined and the credit card info is physically keyed in to there "system".
On the 4th and final day I get an automated call from my banks fraud unit wanting me to confirm the last 5 transactions. The voicebox was something out of radioheads OK computer, disturbing and paranoid. I knew right away it didn't go through. After all of that. Guess it throws up a red flag when your in San Fran and Tokyo at the same time. Order canceled but now, thanks to the guys at BIG soho I'm the proud owner of a pair red hawk 710s. TTS w34.
Yee

 

 

should have followed the thread

 

But other than that, I'm sure some store surely would have had a pair. Now it's too late anyways

Uups BF, you are right... should have followed the thread...

I really want to see some decent pictures of the Red Hawks, ones that aren't on the BiG website. :unsure2:

[Broark]

Is there a general rule of thumb when it comes to 710 sizing?

I'm thinking about getting a pair of the 15th anniversary ones from Pirates, the stealth arcs are really tempting me.

I'm not familiar with Samurai shrinkage upon soak or anything like that, so any basic guidelines would be helpful.

@501xx

I'll post as soon as they get here. Heres a teaser though

@broark

Email pirates and he'll give you one wash measurements. He'll get back to you pretty quick

Thanks for that, but damn, they still look indigo. :P

After looking at the 710XX charts on BiG I think that my normal size 36 will work just fine.

Now I just need to decide if I want the 15th anniversary 710XXs or wait it out for the new BiG collaborations coming in the spring.

Decisions decisions.

@501

Thanks, looking forward to it.

@broark - I went with my normal size (36). Waist is probably the smallest of the 36s I own, though I haven't had them long so stretch is still to come. Thighs are roomy enough.

 

Mine had been soaked but not really worn before I got them. I'm in no hurry to wash them until the waist has stretched a bit.

[Broark]

Could you possibly post some measurements?  It would be very helpful!

[spython]

could anyone help me with sizing on the S003JP? The 15th Anniversary model in specific.

I'm familiar with BiG's measuring methods, just unsure how much this denim will shrink with a thorough wash. I am a true 32 - would a tagged 32 in this model be too large for me? Additionally, the jeans are described as tapered on BiG but slim straight on other sites - any insight into the true fit?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

I'm a true 32 as well, and ended up ordering a 32 in the S003JP Anniv Model. 

As soon as I got themI did a hot soak wearing them (45 min) and they shrunk down snug tight, but loosened up right away after about 2 days wear. 

 

The waist stretched out to about a 33 after very little wear so I decided to do a hot machine wash as I wanted to get all shrinkage out of the way before sending them back to Blue in Green for Hemming (33 inseam). I got them back a few days ago and have worn them about 3 times since. I wear a belt with these as they are probably at close to a 32.5 waist already.....most important thing with these though is the back rise and upper thigh, these are at 13" back rise and 12" upper thigh. If I sized down to a 31 the waist would be perfect on these but the upper thigh and back rise would be too small, at least for me. Here are 2 pics from today 

 

 

 

They definitely are loosening up a a bit each time I wear them, and overall I'm very pleased with the fit as this is my very first pair of unsanforized denim.

 

Hope this helps!

Go TTS on them, even after a machine wash the waist will stretch back out to raw measurements fairly quickly. Check my post a few pages back, I listed the pre and post hot machine wash measurements on a size 34 (I'm a 36 waist), you can get a general idea on the shrinkage from that. And they're more of a slim tapered cut than straight. Also make sure the cut is right for you, the thighs on these are pretty slim so if you're a bigger guy a sized down 710 would still look similar but give you a bit of added room.

eocr98 and B-Sandy

 

thanks both for the pointers. fits look great!

 

If these jeans stretch back out on the waist I don't think they're a good call for me - I'm currently having issues with the thigh on my FHxRBJ15's which have a 11.4" thigh. Bummer.. particularly liked the details on this model.

[Robert Langdon]

Got my redhawk 710s and they are too small. I called the shop 3 times and they told me the waist measured 35" on all 4 pairs they had in stock. So I end up gettimg them cut a few inches. Turns out the waist comes in at just barely 17". They fit too snug pre soak but absolutely no room to stretch afterwards. I'm probably stuck with these after having them altered. I'm bummed. Pics later
