Samurai Denim

what size are those? 34?

[percy]

36 lot 10. i was hoping would shrink to 34 but so far they havent.

[edmond]

oh thanks! too big for me..

Hot wash & dry.

That seems odd... After a warm wash and dry, my Jins shrunk to a 35 waist, and they're a 38.

[gimmegimme]

Gotcha...just makin' sure!

The Jins seem to shrink more than the others do.

[percy]

i think the main problem with these is that they are heavy 19oz denim and they heavier denims dont seem to shrink as much. i have to be careful how much/how hot i wash them also as i dont want them to bleed anymore than they have, especially if i want to sell.

They've got plenty of indigo to go around...I wouldn't worry about that. But if you think they've got all the shrinking out of the way and they're still too big, then selling is probably best.

Dino posted these in how do jeans fit thread

thought it might be of interest to some of you

samurai s710xx 19oz tagged w32

6ft 160-5lbs (natural waist 32/33ish)

^right after 1st hot soak

[skiniks]

lot 10 is definitely strange. the waist on my sz35 710s have shrunk down to around a 33 post soak but the thigh area is still pretty large. i think i'm going to do a hot wash and leave 'em to dry in front of the fire overnight tonight.

is a bit annoying really. a company as established as samurai shouldnt be having problems like this. i had to send back one pair at extra cost to myself and then the replacement pair didnt fit either as expected. now to sell im losing out yet again. disappointing.

size 35 710 soaked still for sale - 250bux shipped

This is why I will either get some one-washed sams at Bears or hold off on the brand until they sort their shit out. I don't have the money, or patience, for random waist sizes.

One of the UFO rivets on my Jins fell off today. How do I fix it? Super glue?

Pic please.

[Casper]

The inside part fell off. I saw it on the floor in my room actually and I was like "hey thats a ufo rivet.... wait my jeans use ufo rivets :takes off pants and checks: aww fk!"

[gimmegimme]

Huh...that's strange. Sort of defeats the purpose of a rivet if it gives out before the stitching.

Anyway...I would glue it. I wouldn't use super glue though, unless there's a specific one for metal (doesn't super glue essentially melt the two surfaces and then bond them together?) I'm not a glue expert...but I'm sure there's one for metal out there.

Alternatively, send Toshiko an email ([email protected]) and ask her what to do.

[edmond]

i think the metal broke the one that reinforces itself on the other part of the rivet.. anyway just use metal epoxy on it ( small amount though)

[corter]

ya, jb weld it or something like that

[toufu]

i dunno i got 710xx -1 from true (true size 30 so i got a 29).

it is also lot 10 and it measured 29 flat brand new,

so i stuck a fuking 1 inch by 15.5 inch board into the waist, buttoned it up and went on with the hot saok.

fits like a dream

[chantheman]

stretches pretty well right? i have a 29 same measurements, shrunk to a 26 or so post wash. now i just love them

[Ari Gold]

my 710s i bought off of realmyth arrived today..figured id post some fit pics so here they are:

my waist measures 31.5" and these are tagged size 32"

they are from BiG and are lot 10

after the wash realmyth gave them they shrank to a 30.5"

They are fully shrunk? were you going for a baggy look? My 5000s are tigher than those.

[gimmegimme]

^^ Hmmm...I'd throw those in a hot wash.

[emmitbrown]

i'd throw them back in the supermarket, and size down a few sizes if you are going for the 710 fit.

[Ari Gold]

nah i was hoping for a slim fit actually :/

he told me gordon washed them once..should i go ahead and wash em again or just give em a hot soak?

[emmitbrown]

you probabaly want them to fit tighter than that fit you have there before the wash. cause everything is going to stretch back out.

[gimmegimme]

I've only had Gordon wash something once, and that was the USA model...which had TONS of shrinking left in it when I threw them back in the wash.

Wash hot, inside out, no spin cycle. You can always through them in the dryer too if you're so inclined.

[Ari Gold]

got ya..thanks ill see if anyone is interested in em in the supermarket and try to grab a size 31
