Are you new to japanese denim or just new to Samurai? I wouldn't recommend a 21oz. pair if you're new to the game, but if you're not, the 5000's look awesome. I'm not big on the 710 cut, but that's just a personal preference, they're of equality quality & detail, etc. I guess its all a preference on whether you prefer a straight leg or a taper.

im not totally new to japanese denim. my main concern would be the rise height.. i like to have a bit more "room" than some of the lower rise jeans you can get nowadays.

the 21oz sound nice, so will keep an eye on them i think. anyone else getting some?

The 5000 cut isn't low rise., you should be fine.

[dino might]

percy, i've ordered my pair already, cant wait

ps-check your pm's

[rome1]

yo heBay, I'll get some fit pics up when I get around to hot washing them after this week probably.

[fatchino]

S0110XJ's with slip-ons ... please excuse messy mirror shots ...

[Cali]

Weird that the 110xjs look straight legged on some people and tapered on others (doesn't help when you roll the legs).

You think it is just height? Taller people naturally make jeans look more tapered?

[fatchino]

I think the rolling definitely emphasises it in this case.

[BlueOctoberFan]

Is that the Type 1 that is similar to the 506xx, but just without the selvedge denim?

I'm not really up on what the numbers are for Levi's jackets, but it's this one...

I know on cultizm there is/was a jacket that looked exactly the same but was apparently a lighter weight selvage denim that costed about $300, so I thought $34 was a good price.

According to the chart on BiG, they're very slightly tapered (.5-.75") which isn't very much given that it's one of the widest legs that they do from the knee down.

[heBAY]

The Jins are definitely large at the leg opening (in comparison to the rest of the leg). Definitely larger (looking) than the 5000 series.

If only they made a Jin model with a 0500 fit.

[40ozprophet]

Nice Jins, kill the roll please

[littleomar]

Nice Jins, kill the roll please

the roll can be done, as shown by mr. cotton duck, but not with slip ons

[40ozprophet]

Fair enough.

[plongin]

anyone here have experience with the 0505XX model? fit pics/ measurements?

looking at substitutes for my 710s.... 19oz denim is overheating my testicles in this equatorial weather.

[dino might]

plong, theyre the same cut. you cant get the 0505 anymore though can you?

heres a saggy fit pic, i cant remember who it is

[plongin]

oh thats pretty nice yo

yeah i had a suspicion that they were being phased out or something, but I wasn't sure. BiG still has a couple of sizes left on the website, but waaay too big for me. was just looking for something that fit like the 710s, but with a maximum of 15oz or something. 19 is crzy!

[dino might]

puss.

get some 0500s then. 15 oz, almost same cut. eh?

[frank]

why dont you like heavy denim? if you want 0500s to fit like 710, you might want to size down at 1. maybe 2. but thats only if you like pain.

[dino might]

^'cause hes in singapore. its more forgivable.

[plongin]

yeah you cant really do anything more than fifteen in equatorial regions. they end up stinking like ten day old poon.

[seafinch]

Do we have any info on the sizing for the black 710's...?

[Danger]

umm im not sure ^ myself just check with the guys from Take5! the might have to be

the next purchase speaking of which. Anywho finally got the right damn pair of 710s!!

my nuts kinda hurt though
