[Brendan]

S5000bk, true to size, didn't shrink them much.

[KickaPop]

Nice jeans. Love the color.

[moykky]

My 19oz 710's are in the dryer right now. I have to give my respects to 2ND for the delivery and extra goods like the really cool mousepad

I'll go and try to make time go faster...

[edmond]

yeah i got mine from 2nd also and they give out a lot of freebies! haheheheh

Picked these up from BIG while in NY last week. I'm a 34 in SC, 32 in V5000. 32 in these were way too tight on me in raw, so I went for 33. All pics are pre soak-is there a reason that all the LHT that i've seen doesn't seem as slubby as RHT?

[scoon0224]

If they were way too tight raw in 32... the 33 will likely be as tight or tighter after a wash

hmm...not in my experience...tried on the 34 in one wash and they fitted fine-even a bit loose...but they hadn't had any wear/stretching having just sat in the shop.

Pre soak pics will be better...

[khaltire]

anyone know if samurai plans to make s5000vx in the texas cotton? that would be awesome

Those things are incrdible.

^^^^

Agreed. I fell in love with them when I tried them on at BiG, but dammit I couldn't button the 28. Love the little details on them.

I wouldn't mind getting a pair of those as well except the back pockets are too far apart. Makes everyone who wears them look like they have wide ass.

Jesus soak and pics already, I want to see how these back pockets look.

Debating what I want to buy when the tax return comes, 5000BK if I can find my size, Lee Repro or wait on some 21 oz. I wanted to maybe get something other then Samurai but I really want those bks.

[Dick Danger]

Get a Lee repro from Lee, Aero has some nice stuff left.

seriously, i love everything about the samurai lee repros except those fucking pockets, theyre the only thing that keeps me from getting a pair, ive even thought of getting some, cutting off the back pockets and resewing them on in a decent place since theres no rear rivots. the pockets on all samurais piss me off, the 710s i have pockets arent too much better, so damn sideways

[joey_formal]

those lee repros break in so nice, watchman's pair look sick, great blueberry color comes through on them. i agree about those lee pockets though def. not my thing at all.

[watchman]

back pocket pics you say?

sorry for shitty light, i need to take some good pics of these, including the fit from the back. The color really is amazing(thanks joey)

[joey_formal]

damn dude that coin purse is making its mark so damn fast, thats only a couple weeks time.

[deadpan]

Watchman how did you size? I sized down one (fit pics later), and although they were really tight on the waist raw, in like 10 mins wear they had stretched so big I could fit my hand in the waist. I think maybe I should of sized down 2.:eek: to a 32, which I could hardly do up pre soak. In short mine are now at least a size BIGGER in the waist post soak than pre soak!

[watchman]

well for reference these are a 30, and fit perfectly after a hot wash to shrink them up. My eternals are a 32, but the general consensus seems to be that they run about a size or two small, and they area little loose. I would say go with the smallest size you can button if you have the opportunity to try them on, although i haven't notice the amount of stretching you have. Did you wear them while they were wet?

[deadpan]

Not really-i guess damp, but i'm really pissed as these were really tight at the waist when raw, and are now loose enough for me to pull them off done up! Did you hot wash to shrink? I only soaked...maybe I need to hot wash as this is stupid-my 5000s are tighter after 2 months wear!

[watchman]

I would give them a nice hot wash to get all the shrinkage out of the way, and then let them dry completely before you wear them. If you wear a belt it will also decrease stretching.

[deadpan]

Right...these went through a 3hr hot soak, and now, after advice from watchman, i've washed them in the machine (no spin/no detergent). Not sure how I feel about the fit yet...I love them but I don't trust that they won't stretch too baggy. I sized down 1 from my actual...

[beatle]

Really like how hey fit you...

[hoodsuburbia]

i am about to get a pair of sam s5000bk in a sz 34. i got a pair of 34s in edwin sens and they stretched out a lot. should i size down to a 33 in the sams? or will i be fine?

[deadpan]

Most of my jeans measure 34 when laid flat (17" accross). I wear a 32 in 5000s. Depends on your legs, but they def. stretch at the waist. Most (inc. me) size down 2.

[hoodsuburbia]

hmm i have big thighs but like a tighter fit. so how much did your 32s stretch out to?

[deadpan]

34, but they'd stretch further I reckon., and since they're so thick they're comfy and don't seem to cut in like thinner denim when it's stretching.

[hoodsuburbia]

i went with the 34s... they were soaked already and the waist was snug. now i just have to get them tapered and cant wait to wear em!

[Guest Chocodove2]

Can anyone that owns any Samurai shirts comment on their sizing? Thinking about picking a few up but I'm worried about length. I'm kind tall (6'2).
