Samurai Denim

[Seething Tortoise]

Considering getting some Samurai's as my next pair of denim (been wanting some for about a year now).

Just wondering if anyone could quickly tell me which cut would be the closest to 31" Cane 1947's.

I'd look through the thread, but it's 2:37AM and I've still got to go home.

I can't say that many Sam's are cut like Cane's. I guess the S3000's and S7000's would be the more repro-inspired cuts they do. If I were you, I would just look at BiG's website...they give a small description of all the cuts (you could also compare measurements if you're keen).

[Seething Tortoise]

Ah right, cheers.

S0500XX's are looking tempting though.

Size up on some 510s

[edmond]

size 1 or 2 up on those 21 oz. 510 guys believe me

I got my bk's smaller than I have ever gotten dungarees before and they were hard to button up after two soaks. The thigh area is what got me, though. The waist will likely stretch a bit, but how do you feel about the thigh area? Mine didn't stretch too much in the thigh.

my thighs fit okay since i have small thighs that is why i sized down to compenstate.

i dont see thighs stretching much unlike the waist there is constant side to side movement.

This is a question for anyone who owns both the 5000VX and BK. Is there a big difference in the rise of each pair? The VX have 5 buttons and BKs have 4. Any input and advice would be great.

[beatle]

I don't know what you mean ? Both of mine have 5 buttons ....

wouldn't 4 buttons mean a lower rise? but since beatle's has 5, you must be missing one..

the only difference i recall was that some people were able to size down 1 on the bk's but not the vx's. too lazy to look but it's somewhere in this thread.

I think you've seen pictures of a BK in a small size.

[Denim Phenom]

This is why I asked. It looks like there is enough spacing for another button so that might take up the space of the extra button in the VXs.

Just asking an honest question.

[beatle]

Well , I counted again..mine have 5 ..maybe it's a sample jeans for the website..

I think Samurai is always posting a size 30 on the web....

[swooc]

i remember reading somewhere in this thread, the rise on the blacks is lower than the indigos.

If that's the case, the pair I just ordered from 2nd will be going to the SuperMarket if they are too small, too low a rise.

edmond has the banner in his signature. I'm all about nigerian sushi*, but to be quite frank, the shit has jumped the shark.

*sishuyi = cotton duck duck goose liberation cannot drink for shit but he fronts like he can and sindney lo has got armits sexier than beyonce.

What size did you get? If it's a 29, send them over here

My VX's have 4 buttons....and as far as I know, they both have the same dimensions/rise. I went down 1 size and they fit perfectly.

edit - I just looked on Big's website, and the picture there shows 5-buttons, but they look a lot closer together than on my pair. I'm guessing that the lot 10's were changed for some reason? Are yours lot 9 Beatle?

[386]

I think it just depends on the size. My size 28 bk with are the "limited edition" lot 9's have four buttons total.

That could well be the reason. I wear a 29...Beatle, you only wear a 31 though, right? That's not much of a size difference.

More info from the ringxring website (if everyone else reads this...I'll stop repeating the information here...just tell me to shut-up )

Anyway, Samurai denim shirts will be available at the end of this month. Toshiko says that BiG will be carrying the "larger" sizes.

Really quick sizing question:

28 in New Standard, 30 in Skull 5010.

I'm thinking 29 for S710xx. Does that sound like a good idea? Stupid? I read through this entire thread and the feeling I get is one size down.

I'd say a 29...there's a guy that posted fit pics back a few pages that were spot on...he sized down one (I think your normal size is probably 30).

[gimmegimme]

Wow...that's a lot of differing opinions. :confused:

All else fails...talk to Gordon at BiG (if you're getting them from him).

I saw his pictures, which is what led me to sizing down 1.

I love the way we have this process of figuring out what is the right size to get. People start off at true to size, and then someone sizes down one, or two, and after some time has passed there is a general consensus about "how many you should go down." For example, down two being the regular advice for New Standards.

[swooc]

^personally i would look at the thigh width instead. that is how i picked the right size with mine. i wear 31 and sized down two. could not button the top for a few days buit loosened up. they are actually a bit too loose on me now. so yeah i would go for the 29 if your legs can fit into them.

[beatle]

I'd say a 30....
