how much does the S0500 fully shrink length wise?

[erbs]

Wow, what is with this recnt flurry of sizing questions?

All Samurai models shrink to a 35" inseam after repeated washings. The general size consensus is buy true to size for a regular fit and size dowm one for a slim fit.

The models in range of slimmest to loosest are: 710, s0500, s5000, s0110, s0510, s3000, s7000. Hope this clears things up.

I realize everyone recommends hot washing to get all the shrinking out, but what if you dont want them to shrink? Anybody just cold wash?

Why wouldn't you want them to shrink? They're shrink-to-fit jeans...:confused:

If a cold soak gets you to where you want to be...

If a cold soak gets you to where you want to be...

...then you got the wrong size.

Someone mentioned something about methods of soaking that involve adding stuff like salt I believe in order for the color not to lighten or at least minimally. Any new methods or anyone care to explain the results?

so what you're saying is that sammies shrink 1 inch more than tagged length

Sams have plenty of indigo to make it through a soaking...people have different little things they like to do...but nothing is mandatory, and I've yet to see any difference between when someone throws vinegar or salt or whatever in the water.

i forgot to even turn mine inside out before i hotwashed, and they looked darker after washing than before. there's deff. no worries with loosing color

[rnrswitch]

...then you got the wrong size.

A lot of people do cold soaks and cold washes to keep the denim dark, rather than washed out. I wash almost all my denim in cold water, unless they already seem to me to be past my threshold for dark denim.

[Skeese]

Which model are these? :confused:

[edmond]

where did you get that picture skeese?

[TokenIndianKid]

Which model are these? :confused:

they have what looks like the take5 X samurai colored arcurate stitching

but im pretty sure ed would be a better judge of this, on account of that hes been to take5 and probably seen (or bought ) in person

[edmond]

the red tab is not suppose to be there if this are the take5 collab and the leather patch is different.. the pach on the take5 collab is the same patch as the wx export models.. hmmm what are these im intrigue..

[poly800rock]

just buy it already

[TokenIndianKid]

hahahaha

pull the trigger edmond come on! sufu is relying on you

[kenthenoob]

lol no! don't buy it! then i'll for sure be dead before your grand children even get decent honeycombs!

[Skeese]

^^ haha ... i don't know if they are still available, seems like a collab though with Unique Jean Store.

He's not talking about keeping the denim dark...he's talking about preventing shrinkage.

take5 is kindda confident that the 21oz s5000vx will come with the red tab and arc..

Collab with Unique Jeans Store, in Sapporo. (Note the map of Hokkaido on the flasher.)

Note also the treatment given to the Wrangler-type repro collab with the same shop:

Triple-stiched yoke, white 'S' type accurate, "Unique" on the leather patch. Also a crotch-rivet in front. On the whole I prefer the SO210XJ, but interesting nevertheless.

[edmond]
