      The last Samurai shirt I wore was L or XL and was perfect for a guy like me who wears L and Xl and IH as well.

        That's what I'm talking about though Flo, the sizing in their tops is completely inconsistent, more so than any other brand that I am aware of. I spoke to Gordon at BIG about the sweaters and hoodies, because I couldn't believe his measurements were accurate, apparently they are and Samurai just have different thoughts on how a 42 chest should fit.

          Decided to remove the cinch back from my USA's , ive never realy seen the point in having a cinch back on a mid rise jean . I think that was the reason ive never realy worn them

          i hammered the rivets out and took them to my regular seamstress to back stitch a piece of cotton over the holes, i think it worked out realy well
          cant even see the stitches
          here's a few detail pics of the jeans

          love the denim and the pocket bags are beautiful

              ^with the most accurate measurements you'll find online IMO
              (although, keep in mind DC4 measures a bit different than BiG, especially the waist)

                ^you could be right about that…never read "16.1" when it comes to the size-chart...others only write "16" without the decimals...

                  most accurate when it comes to Samurai I have to add just in case someone says that the other brands are already covered elsewhere with the same accuracy.
                  Whereas BiG is the only other better known store which actualy measures Samurai jeans (most just use the official measurements which are often misleading) but sometimes they also lack exactness.

                      Does Samurai stretch alot? I see a tagged 38 is only 35.4 inches. What kind of sense does that make?

                        I blame this on the way they measure. see here:

                        this way the waist will come up smaller

                        The S5000VX are ordered and will come with the next shipping AFAIK

                              The fabric of the new S5000AI-OGSP Natural Indigo model looks totally crazy

                              http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-s5000ai-ogsp/

                              63,000 Yen, though… $825 at BIG.

                                It is crazy! It's the same fabric they did on the S510AI-OGSP and I have that pair at home 🙂

                                see for reference:

                                Thanks for all the interest! 🙂
                                I' own just a very simple cam that can't catch every detail like a SLR could.

                                Some denim close-ups

                                Gold button (not everyone's cup of tea)

                                Coin pocket rivet

                                The fit right after the first soak.

                                I've just soaked/handwashed these a second time. Hanging to dry now

                                  The guy who came up with the idea of fitting 5 buttons to the fly instead of 4 should be tied down naked, smeared with peanutbutter, and left in a room with 2 (or 3, depending on the cost) hungry lions.

                                    ??? what are you referring to? 😃

                                    I always prefer 5 buttons on jeans of my size and a rise I like. One top button and 4 inside buttons

                                            I know that IH has 4 buttons and I don't like it that much. Every other brand I own has 5 and so did all vintage levis.
