Samurai Jeans

[jacoavlu]

anyone with direct experience comment on the shrink/stretch of the Sam jin denim? Have been debating about picking up a pair but they'd have to come from Japan so I'd rather not screw up sizing…. BiG suggests 2" waist shrink.

I only have a Jin jacket, but it is (was) unsanforized, and I have washed it. There doesn't seem to be much movement in it at all, but the denim is absolutely beautiful.

My lot 10 Jins are size 31; true waist is probably 32.5".  If I had it to do over again I'd have gone with size 32.  They've stretched, but it's been a long, painful process (and they shrink right back up whenever I wash them.)

Found these Samurai S0610LX Lot11(2008 Special) a month or so ago brand new without tags at a consignment shop. They have stretched out a lot. I might soak them again to make them fit better. They fit great when I got them.

^I really like that fit as is, actually.

I just received my first pair of sams, 710xx lot 14.  They are gorgeous.  (never mind.  ;D)

Hi Kit,

Yes, they just left from Japan last night so should hopefully be arriving
