=] my 710's came today!!

=[ no one was home to sign for it...

ima check up at the post office in 2 hrs to see if i can get it today, if not * sigh...theres always tomorrow

[gimmegimme]

^theyre indeed 0500s, i remember him posting about how he just ordered them or something like that

That surprises me...I thought 510's for sure. I thought they looked too loose to be 0500.

[ruprecht]

right, so i've been watching all these 710s and my jealously levels are seriously piqued. don't want to break my no buying new denim policy though, as it's been going well.

sooooo...

anyone interested in trading a pair of 710s for the S0710WXs that have been hanging in my wardrobe for a year? (they're the export model of the 0500s, with the black arcs and white tab.)

mine are Lot 9, size W34L36, soaked and unworn. would be looking for a pair in the same condition and, ideally a 33W - guess that would be labelled 35 with all this Lot 10 bidnass???

i'm in London, can send pics to anyone interested.

Ruprecht whats wrong with the 710wx? I thought those looked pretty spot on when emaze posted them awhile back and if I remember correctly were pretty slim(ming) too.

yeah you're right, it surprised me too. i sized down one as well!

i recently bought some lot 10 0500's and they are surprisingly larger below the knee than i was expecting. even after a long hot soak. doesn't seem to be much of a taper at all...kinda bummed me out at first but i'm getting used to it at this point. was curious if this was unique to the lot 10's and just goes along with the other lot 10 issues as of late...

I felt the same with my lot 10 pair. I just measured, the taper is only .8". Checked the BiG site, my size 31 is supposed to have 1.5" taper. What's going on here?

[Tyler Durden]

haha, .8 x 2 = 1.6" taper. if im not mistaken.

[brentos]

what lot is 2nd currently selling...anyone know?

[rocco]

Lot 10, is what I just heard from Parachutes (at least the S5000BK, the model I'm eyeing)

[monsieurbonjour]

haha, .8 x 2 = 1.6" taper. if im not mistaken.

Hmm I was wrong... Measured around the leg BiG mentions a taper of .75".... And I measured a taper of 0.8" around the leg... So I guess it's like it's supposed to be.

[TazBnyF]

yeah mine measure out to about a 1" taper...certainly not 2, as per the info on BiG site.

mine came from americaya though...

Plongin - did you soak or wash?

Soaking Sam's just doesn't get rid of all the shrinking...you need to hot wash at least once (sometimes twice) for them to get down to the ideal size.

[scoki]

anybody know when japanese stores will get s710bk's in stock?

[dino might]

^BiG expects mid-march

[cyberPUNK]

i don't mean to spam, but i mentioned earlier in this thread that i was having a sale for a week on items purchased through 2nd. the goods news is i've extended the sale indefinitely, and from now on all items ordered through 2nd will be processed for an 8% service charge regardless of price, making this the cheapest option for those wishing to purchase items from this particular store. please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

cheers,

your height + weight? and are these part of the lot 10 fiasco?

[party pooped]

did you get your true size?

I wear a comfortable 32" waist in Eternals and I'm ~5'6, ~135lb.

I bought these Samurai's one size down after hearing they would stretch out eventually.

very true. i just made myself a "ditty" bag out of the left leg cut-off from hemming a pair of 510 19oz.(lot 10), and some kaihara denim. after i finished sewing the pouch i boiled it for about 10 minutes after a cold soak( i thought the cold/hot would make it shrink more.) it didn't shrink that much @ all, just like the jeans did. i sized down 1 instead of two, since people said that the thicker denim shrinks so much, but next time i'll get a 29 instead of a 30'. i'll post pictures of the bag one day...today i'm spending the day doing some major-level repair work. i don't have much real(cotton) thread other than what i could get from deconstructing a leg-trimming, so ima use the chocolate-colored thread hoes use to sew in tracks("weave" for you suburbanites). i've never yanked a bitch's weave out in bed(yet) so it should hold up. bitch-tested, nigga approved...
