Double cuff completes that fit.

@ kaskade: I can't really compare the 710 to something else but otherwise you seem to have the right idea. most people can go down 1 size for a slimmer fit.

 

@redstar. My tagged size 33 710XX started at 34" raw and after a year are at about 34.75". If you want a final actual waist of 34" then definetly don't do a tagged 31, and honestly, even a tagged 32 is going to be a bit of a squeeze. I'd actually say 33 for a slimmer look, 34 for maximum comfort.

 

 

@redstar: if you would have told me in your PM that your SExFHxRJB now measure 34" in the waist I wouldn't have recommended you the size 31 in the 710. But you never did

 

Because of that I'm with the the other guys. Size 32 would be doable since you can stretch the waist easily 1" beyond raw measurements, But the construction may suffer. The size 33 would be the safer route. All depends on the fit you are after

Thank you!

Definitely cuff. A clean break at the bottom looks so much better than stacking with a larger leg opening.

I have a pair of tapered s5000vx on the market if anyone is looking

Some evo on my 500XX:

 

DId I mention I love my A-103? Would love to get a new tan and black one. This one is almost two years old and worn 90% of the complete time.

Samurai 710 a few days over a month of wear.

Those 500s looking super sick though. Your stoked you get to wear your jeans to work. It sucks being a valet. From 9-5 I'm stuck in my pleated van heusens. Fml

[Max Power]

Well, sometimes I have to wear a suit and it sucks. I'm glad I convinced my boss that I can wear jeans 98% of the time...

[Cold Summer]

One of the things I hated about being an English teacher was having to wear stupid brown pants all the time.  I'm always thankful that I can now wear jeans all day, every day.

[bradl]

I would really have a hard time with a job not allowing me to wear jeans, I would feel somewhat naked with out them.

I at least get to wear them nights weekends and Fridays.

[Robert Langdon]

Kicked off my weekend with my perfect fitting 510s. Everything is lovely. The exact fit I was looking for save for the length. The hem could come in a bit at just barely under 9 but whateves. From the rise on the top block to the thighs from the knee down is so comfy. Gonna try and stretch the waist a bit. I'm sure it won't be a problem. I'm psyched though. Yee

Gonna get my homie to flick up some pics ala SLR. Stay tuned

Greetings from Xiamen, China

 

Finally, I found some time to take proper daylight pictures!

 

you will notice some crazy leg twist...

[Foxy2]

the denim is very coarse & slubby

 

exposed rivets everywhere...

 

...and a cinch on the back

 

this shows how crazy the leg twist really is!

...and some clos-ups.

 

(in case anybody is wondering - we are talking S526VX-L-15th here...)

[501XX4EVER]

Foxy2 thanks for all the pics, they are definitely a good bit more "full" than I was anticipating. I'm not so sure that cut will work for me, but I still want a pair. :D

[bradl]

 

Don't have my camera on me till next week, so won't get any good pictures until then. But this thing is bloody heavy! 

 

[Quoise1203]

^great choice.  I would have preferred the type II to the type III but I purchased it early in my denim obsession and wasn't comfortable ordering from rakuten or doing a special order from BiG, in case I needed to return it.

[bradl]

 

Can't really get the best light here, by the time I get home it's dark already.

[Chubacca]

I think max or b_f said a while back ago that leg twisting is apparently desirable. Why is that? To me personally, I find it a bit annoying

It's the nature of unsanforized denim to twist and thus a link to "back then". Since the majority likes the repro/vintage touch those Japanese brands have, it's a part of the game.

[Robert Langdon]

The Leg twist adds to the irregularity. I spent a good 900$ to find out I don't like sanforized denim.

Off topic and random. I have my 510s right where I want them. Everything but the hem is @9in. If I soak from the knee down will the color be offf?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

a soak won't change the color. But I doubt that you will get much shrinkage in the leg opening from the soak

I figured that. Worried about machine washing and the waist coming in too far. From your fit guide it looks like a machine wash the only way. BTW they are the 15oz size 34. Maybe ill just deal.

Yeah, I had a type III gap 1969 raw jacket from like 5 years ago that I have been wearing until I got this. Not a huge fan of Type III as well, this type II is awesome, I just wish it had hand pockets.

[khez]

my samurai 710s after 2 years and 3 months. haven't really rocked them since i got my iron heart 301s last august.

I wore my S0510XX yesterday and I measured the hem, just a hair under 9" and I machine washed them once for initial shrinkage. I don't expect much more shrinkage

If it had hand pockets it wouldn't be a real Type II.
