Thierry Mugler has it right.

Have you tried Self Edge in SF? You always have the option to go directly through Samurai http://www.samurai-j.com/samurai/samurai_main.html and make the argument that nobody in teh US has them in size 30, and if they say no get a proxy to order them for you. Might even end up cheaper even with the 10-15% proxy fee.

My next point - some worn 505's...last chance to get this denim

This makes me want to order the BiG x Samurai

Selfedge doesn't sell Samurai... and I believe Samurai stopped selling overseas through their site. May have to be proxy.

You are correct. The other Rakuten shops that sell Sam's are:

D-Stock (no 30's)

Klax-on (no 710's)

Americaya (no size 30)

Bears (no 30)

...all of which require a proxy I believe.

You may want to just ask Gordon when they'll be getting more stock.

Self Edge does sell Samurai, just not online.

no, no ... i was being sarcastic.

The times I've been in Self Edge, there have been no Samurai jeans hanging on the jean pole/rack thing, no Samurai shirts upstairs, no Samurai belts, and no Samurai accessories in the case. Also, the dresser full of jeans had no Samurai products. Are you certain about this? It seems odd that Self Edge would actively hide a product they sell.

[rnrswitch]

I think they started selling Samurai, but kinda phased it out when they went full steam ahead with the Flathead stuff.

[gimmegimme]

SE did sell Samurai at one point, but I believe BiG is the only official retailer in the US.

I recall Kiya once asking me why I had ordered Sam's from Japan when I could have just purchased them from Gordon.

[CaTasHtRoPhE]

Yea selfedge does NOT sell samurai anymore i had a talk with kiya about it awhile ago.

Thanks guys for the help most sites just told me wait til november and they should have them in stock.

[jaspar]

My mistake. I haven't been to SE in some time.

[gimmegimme]

More pics of 505 fading...buy this shit up bitches!

[watchman]

i hope they are still available by the time i can afford it

[Dex_star]

ehhh i was kinda considering these but i cant get with the 5000 fit

[gimmegimme]

Really? I think the 5000 cut is one of the best cuts I've ever come across...but I guess it all depends on bodytype/preference.

[Tonybag0dohnutz]

Man, my 5000vx's are still destroying my hips. Been wearing them around the apartment daily for the last week or so and they've given a little bit, but are still ungodly tight. I only sized down 1 and got my normal dry jean size. Not only that but the hip flare is really noticeable. Am I just paranoid and they will in fact stretch to be comfortable and the hip flare will go down as they soften with wear, or should I probably have just gone with my regular size?

Nah...you'll be fine...just give them time...they stretch a lot.

Anybody know when pre-ordering ends and production begins on the USA model?

Gordon is hoping for delivery around mid-December, but of course it is dependent on when they run out of fabric. Pre-ordering ends when they run out of denim.

[arlee]

thinking if I should change my USA model order from a 29 to a 30, decisions!!!

[Guest jeffvyain]

if i could give my 5000s just the slightest of tapers, they'd be perfect...but alas, it's way too late for that now. and they still kick ass
