Samurai Denim

[SLAB]

are we talking about true waist sizes here or your size in a specific jeans? I wear a size 29 Nudie Slim Jim and a 29 in my Skull Jeans 5010 6x6; real waist size 30; should I go for a 28 or a 29 in Samurai sizes when I'm looking for a slim fit in the S710XX or S0500XX?

[dino might]

id go down one to a 29 unless youre rail thin. my sams i went down 2 on dont fit well anymore after a few hot washes/soaks

thanks, remus

What if we avoid a few hoat soaks then and just stick to one?

[J425]

sticking to 1 hoat soak is insufficient, from everyones past experiences with sammies it takes multiple soaks to get the shrinkng out of the way, so the consequent shrinking that comes with having to soak ur jeans every once in awhile is inevitable. so like dino said, unless ur legs are rail thin, sizing down two is going to be painful down the line, especialy with the lack of stretch 710s seemingly have.

Impractical. Eventually you'll have to wash them and then they'll shrink more. I can also attest that mine have gone through some CRAZY amount of shrink -> stretch in the scant two months that I've had them...

Alright thanks guys. Any word when blue in green will be getting more sizes for their 710 cut?

yeah, i can tell from experience its not a good idea because thats what i did for my size 30s, just one hot overnight soak, they were cool for a long time, but then i eventually washed them twice over time and now.. you know the rest

I'm lost. What's the difference between VX and XX denim?

[the_state]

i did a hot wash on my 0500's a few weeks back. how much more inseam shrinkage should i expect? they're still really long, and i want to get them hemmed, but i'm not sure how much extra length i should leave for further wash/shrinks.

[dino might]

not much, my one pair of sams has been hot washed twice and hot soaked once and the inseams still at 36

just what i thought... you think the texas cotton might shrink differently than the 710 denim?

I'm lost. What's the difference between VX and XX denim?

The zero denim (vx) is 17 oz. and somewhat slubby. There is more than one kind of XX denim. The Texas cotton XX denim is 15 oz. and very slubby and available on the s0500xx and s510xx. The s0505 XX denim is 15 oz. and Samurai's tightest weave; the s0505 is no longer being produced but this denim will be available on the upcoming BiG x Sam collab.

couldnt say, i dont have experience with them, but from the looks of the contest they seem to be about the same

** and for whoever asked earlier, toshiko just said the 710BK will be out sometime next summer

[driftingdunk]

awesome fit on those 710s dino...

would you suggest two hot soaks (60C) or one hot wash, or does it even make a difference...

s0505 denim, but not s0505 cut, right? I thought I'd heard the BiG colab would have a buckleback. Is it going to be a "customized" version of an existing model, or something entirely new?

[dino might]

right, just the denim.

unique cut, buckle back etc

[poly800rock]

it's just a s5000 cut i thought.

[edmond]

it's just a s5000 cut i thought.

roger that 5000cut

[Skeese]

BiG X Samurai ... Definately going to have me a pair.

[dino might]

it's just a s5000 cut i thought.

shit, my mistake, im mixing them up with the "one eyed dragon"

[edmond]

ust got my s0500x today i sized u 1 on my normal sam size cause from the measurements these are a tad small compared to others..

these are something else.. denim is really slubby and you can almost see the white cotton on the threads..

s0500's don't run any different than any other samurais..

nice pickup edmond, that's my next purchase in a couple paychecks i think. question though, if i get them from a proxy are they still doing tabs and arcs on those in japan even? i thought i heard they were stopping that with all their models somewhere
