New Sams on the BiG site S5000CX, S7000VX One Eyed Dragon and the SM5000GT-A. There is no measurements on them, anyone have descriptions as to the fits?

Although it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges, I'm still convinced that the 510 is way baggier. I wear SD-103s and Svens regularly. The SDs are a tad more roomy everywhere in the legs than the Svens. Now if you look at this table of measurements by Blue in Green, you can see that SD-103s are quite a bit slimmer than 510s - and even a bit slimmer than 5000s.

So either I'm a complete idiot.. or this table is off.. or you two are wrong.

Either the S0500 or S5000 should be closer to the Svens in terms of leg room. The 510s (from what I can tell from the measurements) are way baggier and not a good comparison.

my 510s after a hot soak and hot wash, not that baggy if u ask me

Will it dry up too much if I don't? Why do use both and not just one?

[edmond]

i cant say slubby at all on those ai-n DM

[arlee]

yeah like ed said not slubby just hairy like a gorilla

[cldpsu]

Hot washing is the new soaking.

I'd consider washing them but won't that make them lighter than if I soak them? Do you do a normal timed wash? About the lightening issue... I think you or someone else said they tend to get darker after the wash/soak.

^^ dunno if it helps but, I soaked my s0500's for about an hour or two then threw them in the machine for a good hot wash, very minimal if any at all color is lost on these jeans. Go for the hot wash it will get a lot of the shrinkage maybe even all of it out of the way in the begining.

Can you say the same about the lack of color loss for 710's?

personally, i don't think people would put much faith in japanese repros if they didn't hold their indigo well.

Agreed. There gonna be dark as hell no matter what you do to them at first.

[J425]

cldpsu, my 710s have not been washed, but they have been soaked 2x and are still really dark. definitely plenty of indigo left to withstand hot washes

Thanks for the help. What's the general consensus on most practical and successful objects to hold denim down during soaks?

a bag of baking powder

What's up with the S5000CX, is it grey?

[drapygo]

I believe it's a bit more green then grey.

[LaiShin]

It looks yellowish green to me...Definitely not grey though. Braidkid or someone else was complaining how it wasn't grey iirc.

personally I use a feather or a sheet of tissue.

Beware, if you use the wrong object, you won't get honeycombs!

[Tisswat]

Okay...so you run down the street to Japan and try on a pair of 510's...actually...bring them home and soak them first...and then report back.

Now go.

It would be easier for you to try on a pair of Svens. But perhaps this was meant as a joke?

They're not that baggy, but they're obviously more relaxed than Svens.

Descriptions/links here. The sizes they have are pretty limited though...wasn't someone asking about a size 38 somewhere???

They're khaki-ish...pics here.

Yes, I was joking...this topic is getting old now though....he can go talk to the boys on mynudies.com if he wants more info.
