when i say 30 you buy 29 when beatles say you get a 30 get a 30!! dont be so hard headed!

[JohnnyRed]

I went down 1 from my Skull size, which was my actual waist. I'd say 29 or 30 would be fine for you, depending on how tight you want them

[gimmegimme]

I saw his pictures, which is what led me to sizing down 1.

I love the way we have this process of figuring out what is the right size to get. People start off at true to size, and then someone sizes down one, or two, and after some time has passed there is a general consensus about "how many you should go down." For example, down two being the regular advice for New Standards.

There's usually a concensus on what size to get with different jeans...I'm convinced (for me anyway) that most sams are down 1 size. For reference, I wear a 28 in NS's, and 29 in Sam's. They're a bit torturous at first, but they always stretch out perfectly. Its all subjective though.

I’d also say go for a size 29.

I’m a 30 in PBJ XX-005’s, a 28 in raw Dior's and a 28 in New Standards, and my size 29 S710's (which have been through BIG’s OXS service) fit perfectly in the waist.

Here’s a quick pic for reference, I had to lean over to take it which is why the angle is a bit off and the inseam looks quite short, irl they fit pretty much exactly like the pair that 'fix' posted a few pages back:

Have you tried on the 710's or is that general Samurai knowledge?

The funny thing is, in my experience, as soon as I try to read Bears or another website with measurements it just throws me completely off. I just matched up a pair of 5010xx 6x6 and S710xx and apparently the Samurais are slimmer in the thigh, same waist, and slightly higher rise.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I will make a decision tonight and post fit pictures when I get them.

^ Incunabula. Those 710's look nice. Nice fit too.

[swooc]

just get the 29, you will never regret it.

and incu's fit is awesome.

I was only speaking generally of Sam's. Be cautious of Bears' measurements, as they're often different from other websites (possibly because they only sell one-wash jeans).

[Seething Tortoise]

Anyone know if there are any places where i could try and get a shady pair of Sams with the acurate and red tab. Or am I just shooting for the moon?

I don't understand the question?

[polishmike]

I don't think it's a question. Maybe read it backwards?

[edmond]

[edmond]

thanks gimme...!

[AdamJaz]

OK, so my s710xx19oz came today... and my first reaction was these are way to tight, and I put them up in teh marketplace to sell... but now I wonder: if I can get these on my waist, should I keep them? Will they stretch?

[edmond]

how tight could you button up all the way up?

[AdamJaz]

Yeah, the buttons themselves are tough to get... but I can get the top button... barely. Although if I soaked them, there'd be now way.

[edmond]

they will stertch out..

when i got my s710's i couldnt button the top 2 buttons...

so i took a shower in them

worn them while drying ( did a lot of stretching ) like squatting etc etc ...

they will stretch out.. after that.. wear them for a couple of days at home.. stretch them out.. they if you feel comfy in them already then hot soak em then do the process again and youll be ok!

[AdamJaz]

That's good to hear... I guess I wont have to sell them.

Pain Scale: Your Process?

[edmond]

pain scale not so much man.. one more tip

wear them on your hips cause these will help them staretch out more while sitting down.. and spread your legs man.. this will help form the thigh whiskers..

good luck dont sell em mate the ones with arcs and tabs are pretty hard to come by these days.. these will fit you fine after a couple of days.. just do the process

[polishmike]

How do the legs feel? I'm all for stretching but I don't think you want to push it. Just keep in mind they will shrink a lot after first hot wash.

[AdamJaz]

They are perfect in the legs, not too tight, but not too baggy...

I am worried about the first wash though, lol.

[edmond]

good luck!

[polishmike]

I guess if you don't want to sell them you can just wear them and never do a hot wash. When they get really dirty just wash them cold and wear them while damp to make sure they fit.
