So size down 1 for 710? Two people saying two different things. Gimmegimme seems the expert, what do you think?

And where would be the place to buy online, BiG seem to be running low on stock.

Err..."expert" is a strong word.

Anyway, I would size down 1.

[Seething Tortoise]

Normal size in the 5000vx would end up very loose. I would size down 1 in the current 5000vx. It seems like earlier batches were even bigger. The Lot 9s I have would have still been a very comfortable fit sized down 2 but buying over the net I didn't dare go that far. They start about right across the waist already raw, dontch shrink much in the waist and then stretch a LOT. My Lot 9 31s fit like wide 32s or narrower 33s within a week of wear.

Did they stretch much more after that?

posted these pre-wash in the evo thread the other day. some stinky ass dog got all up in my shit yesterday so i decided to wash them, and because i hardly ever wash them and my pictures had been rather lackluster the other day, i decided to take some more pics. here are my 5000s. approx 15 months. if i'm wearing jeans, i'm wearing these.

[gimmegimme]

^^ awesome

[Guest jeffvyain]

the first three were with flash. the rest of the pictures (including all of these ones were natural light)

[rome1]

really nice color and wear on those.

I can manage to size down 2 on the 710's so it all depends on your physique. I didn't like sizing down 1. I am trying to sell the sized down 1 pair. It was too baggy in the crotch area. I don't like that baggyness you get if you sit down or if you stand and there is kind of a v shape in the crotch area. I mean its normal to a degree once a pair stretches out but this was putting them on for the first time after the wash process. The 32's I actually sold to my friend thinking sizing down 2 was a bad idea but when I tried them on 4 days later after he had been wearing them, they fit like a glove.

all depends on your bodies shape, if you have ridiculously skinny thighs.. size down two.. if you have anything near normal, one down or true should be fine... and if you have any ounce of muscle on your thighs, true to size is the absolute minimum... I bought the 31's true to size, couldnt button the top 3 after wash, now they fit amazingly.. but are way to thick/slim for any physical activity (skating)

I wore them constantly the first week and they only stretched a little bit after that, but then if it gets a little hot and humid they shrink down a little bit too. But maybe that's just subjective.

Great 5000's..the color makes me dream....

[Leonard Leroy]

I keep on going to my Samurais despite whatever jeans are around, and pictures like that reinforce my compulsion to return to them.

oh you need not dream when you've got your own beautiful sammies to stare at all day

Where can I buy them online? BiG have none in stock, would prefer a website that is in english

[Chponglasia]

BiG is the only website in English. You could use a translation program and buy them from 2nd, or use a proxy. Good luck!

Are my thighs really that skinny? I'm a 34 waist 4 inches below navel and my thighs are 23 inches

I'm confused. I just went to that site and the price said something like 24,990 yen for a pair of 710's. I converted that and came up with 218.... something is wrong yes?

Nope. That's right. Shipping will add around 30 dollars though.

you don't measure your true waist 4 inches down from your navel, it should be measured right below your navel

I wish they took paypal. I hate transferring money around to my bank account

I wasn't trying to measure my true waist I was just presenting a waist measurement for proportions.

will 2nd keep the arcs and tabs intact if you ask them to ship to the US?

Hey guys, im new to this and I'm still deciding on what size in the 710's to get.:confused: I have a pair of size 30 APC NS and a size 31 Dior 19cm mij. Does anyone have these jeans and what is their equivalent sizing for a similar fit in sams? Thanks!

[chantheman]

5 pages back dino might! showing his pics of his 710's

just look back a few pages and there are plenty of people talking about the 710s and their sizing issues.

s710xx 19oz at ~4-5 month nonstop

these jeans are pretty much my inspiration to lose weight. more pictures over in the evo thread..

[Tyler Durden]

simply get measuring tape.
