post soak from a few pages back

yeah not for nothin'...but I noticed the same with the USA sizing. They may be the 5000vx silohuette...but it's more like it's sized down by 1. Meaning I tried on a 31 which is 1 size down from my true, and they looked more like the 5000vx's in a size 30. I compared them to the 0500's raw (I have them too, but haven't worn 'em passed the point of stretching the waist back out for comfort) and the thighs especially seemed a little more snug at the same size. Noriko did the thigh measurements and 0500's = 12.5"...while the USA's = 12.25". I also tried on the 210xj's in the same size, again, to compare (since the thighs were what stopped me from immediate coppage)...and they measured out to 12"...which is tight as I'd ever go...can't imagine the love of .25" shrinkage post-denim toasting.

I picked up the USA's though...thought I'd give them some time and thought in the mirror at home...but I'm still shook at the thigh shrinkage. Good thing is, I could do the waist up...not a nice feeling...but I could.

End of the day...I really hope Dino's method works, I may be found doing some yoga in semi-dry denim if thsee thighs kill.

Also, the waist only measured out to be 1" inch bigger than tagged. If I do go with these, world of pain ahead (hopefully this denim can stretch a bit)

This must be the longest shot, but looking to buy S5110VXJ -- Does anyone have pics of it wash, worn, fade et al.

[edmond]

Edit: But that patch is just nuts!

s710 teaser

peep the knots.

[heBAY]

^weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Are those really fuckin' sweat-inducing heavy? I know it's been asked...but I'm curious ...again.

[dino might]

yeah they are, and i love them more and more as time passes, cant wait for my bk's and s5000 21oz

(i love heavy)

[heBAY]

damn in that florida heat. I dunno...NYC gets mighty humid when the heat kicks in.

[dino might]

yeah, last time i was in nyc it felt pretty similar to an avg florida day, sucked, but oh well, at least yeh still got seasons. it was 80 this afternoon

[rome1]

picked up my USA's today sized all the way up to a 34, since they measure 34 raw, hot wash and fit pics coming soon.

[johnnyrebel]

do the samurai railroad pants fit true to size, do they stretch or shrink much?

God only knows. Have you read the last three pages of fit nightmares?

[scoki]

Does the S710BK come with arcuates and red tab? Or only in Japan?

[chantheman]

if you buy them in the US they wont have them regardless if they have them in Japan or not. if you buy them from Japan and see arcs and tabs in the pics on their website then they will.

[Knugget]

Hmmm....considering these. A tad bit tight, but I can button them up all the way.

Comments and criticism?

[edmond]

theyre nice give them a good soak and off you go!

[Agent Orange]

wow, you received them quick - sorry bout the weird packaging

they fit you fine, alot better than me. youre taller and skinnier, i could only do half the buttons. if you think youll be able to stretch them back out, hot wash and dryer, and youll get probably the slimmest look anyone ever achieved with sams so far. otherwise just soak.

[meta]

the secret to getting jeans on is buttoning them up below your hips adn then pulling them up. I think they will look really nice after a soak.

[dino might]

knugget, the fit on those looks perfect, i always get a little bit excited when i see someone else start out on a new pair of s710s

i say keep them, i dont think youll be disappointed

[Knugget]

Thank you for the response everyone. I want to do a hot soak, but I'm afraid I cannot get the waist on.. should I just start of with a cold? Or hanger+soak?

[dino might]

nah, definitely do as hot a soak as possible, and if youre afraid about the waist then yeah just stick something in it, a cold soak will only cause frustration down the road in my opinion. looking at the pictures it looks like the waist has enough room to where it wont be a problem for too long, i think the crazy weight and stiffness of new s710s helps give the impression of them being tighter than they actually are, shits intimidatin'

and dont machine dry, itll leave your beefy 19ozs feeling like soft gurly man pants

[Knugget]

Do you really believe I should keep these? A respected member on the forum said..

Knugget,

Personally i don't think those fit you well.. They're sloppy looking on your figure and i'm not sure if the high rise is working well either..

[dino might]

yes i do, i dont know what whoever that is is talking about, i think they have just enough room to look really good after a soak and that member is talking about of his ass. sloppy on your figure? maybe im brain-dead, but i dont see that at all..

take a vote?

if you dont want to take my word then soak them first and then see, even if you dont want to keep them soaking them shouldnt really affect your chances at reselling them on supermarket... anyone who buys a raw pair will have to wash them eventually...

[Knugget]

Taking your word and plusing your rep.
