Samurai Denim

Are those the 310's or the 0500's? They almost look like they have a bootcut from the side.

0310s. They're just stiff and folded up funny under the knee. No apparent bootcut except when they do that.

[gimmegimme]

Look good otherwise...nice to see pics of a new cut.

Seconded...nice fit - really tight up top...maybe thus the slight bootcut ? What's the leg opening ?

Thanks for sharing....

Not tight at all, will try for better pics tomorrow. The waistband itself is quite snug, but the jeans go way out immediately below the waist and are loose all the way down. Measuring right about 11 inches at the leg opening, so I'm guessing there is more shrinkage in these.

Alright, question for everyone who owns Samurai Texas Cotton jeans out there. I did a few hour soak. It's clear that these will fit, serve their purpose and whatnot, and so on. But, they're really weirdly stiff, a lot like when I wore the S5003s without a soak. Is this just the denim, or is there a fair bit of starch left in these? If it's starch, time for a quick wash.

I have a pair of S0500XX (posted in evo thread) and they are CRUNCHY stiff at first, well after the first soak., and they stay reasonably stiff if you dont wash them often. I've put mine througjh probably 3-4 HOT soaks and 1-2 machine washes + hot dry (analogous to BIG OXS)

When I hang dry them outside, the next morning they're still crunchy. I really like the weave of the TC due to this factor because the jeans stay stuff while dry but once you put them on they drape like its very soft material. Isure as hell hope Samurai does some more cuts with this fabric!

basically, i would say if the stiffness of the fabric really feels weird, just do a HOT soak and then throw them inside out in the dryer for a full cycle

I'd say it's a bit of both. It's a starchy denim and a stiff denim (at first on both counts). It took a couple of full washes before I was confident I got the starch out. They will stay stiff for a very long time unless you use the dryer, but you can soften them almost immediately if you put them in the dryer. I love the Texas Cotton.

15 Oz Texas Cotton. Don't believe Samurai does texas cotton in > 15 oz. They're way loose, I dunno about sizing down a lot on them, seems to defeat the point. Though, in one day of wear the waist already stretched from world-of-pain tight to comfy, will likely need a belt by week's end. I don't think I've gotten all the shrinkage out at all though. These will be a fantastic loose jean for lazy days.

Woah, wait, what? That's unexpected.

[selaviso]

if anyone wants to trade a 34 or 36 for a sz 33 s510xx21oz please let me know. the person i bought them off of gave me wrong measurements and they are too small so yeah that sucks.... well if anyone that has a pair of sams with arcs and tab wants to trade hit me up!

[frank]

what the... i thought 5000s were a slimmer cut than the 510s

[edmond]

what the... i thought 5000s were a slimmer cut than the 510s

they are

again.. those 21oz 510's are almost 1 size down from the standard s5000 sizes

[poly800rock]

what the... i thought 5000s were a slimmer cut than the 510s

they are, dino sized it wrong. a 29 s5000 shrinks to ~30 but stretches to 31 easily. a 28 s5000bk shrinks to around a 29 and stretches nicely to a 30

[selaviso]

yeah im bummed because they are so nice maybe i just need to lose 20 pounds

[frank]

they are, dino sized it wrong. a 29 s5000 shrinks to ~30 but stretches to 31 easily. a 28 s5000bk shrinks to around a 29 and stretches nicely to a 30

ahh. i see sorry..

[TokenIndianKid]

im sorry but i had to put this here

i think the s0500xx cut and denim in BLACK would be absolutely orgasmic

black denim with silver and gold intertwined selvedge

[noni]

that's a nice, relaxed fitting jean.

[Bobbejaan]

they are

again.. those 21oz 510's are almost 1 size down from the standard s5000 sizes

yes they run small. I have a tight 32 when i usually wear a 31

i just gave the tagged waist sizes from the patches.

[gimmegimme]

The 510's fit you perfectly...so strange how they are so much roomier than the 5000's though....

[dino might]

? its the other way around though..

[gimmegimme]

? its the other way around though..

That's what I meant...I'm tired.

[fre-co]

What are you smoking today gimmegimme?

[dino might]

yeah, that really threw me for a loop too, not to mention a hassle now having to sell them

[gimmegimme]

What are you smoking today gimmegimme?

Muscle relaxants are not for daytime use.

[littleomar]

i just gave the tagged waist sizes from the patches.

yeah, but the s5000 series doesn't shrink to actual tag size. Maybe for like 10 minutes, but more like +1 on the tagged waist

Dino...if I could +rep you I would... we're basically the same physical build (I'm 6'1" and around 165-168 lbs.)...so those fit pics are fuckin' perfect for me to see. I'm definitely going to do the 710's in a 32 waist...plus I saw your waywt's and they seem to fit just right.

I'm starving for some heavy fuckin' denim for this cold winter.

[STropio]

Dino is the reason I went for the 710's - as soon as I get them back from hemming pics will be posted.
