Samurai Jeans

[Finn666]

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

[beautiful_FrEaK]

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.

^what no 5000 cuts?

[bagley920]

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

[beautiful_FrEaK]

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

Took some pics of my 710's after a wash

Def something to bear in mind, lads. Thanks @ b_F, our resident Sam connaisseur!..

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

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

[Seul]

Four buttons or bust.

^^^you mean Levi strauss and Jacob Davis? Shame on you, Eli 

[Seul]

Urm I mean every god-dang brand except for Samurai… Count the buttons on your IHs, will ya... 

[Max Power]

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.

[Seul]

Man - I thought it was the other way around… Anyway, yeah: big, HUGE fan of the IH way then... 

[Finn666]

i´m with Eli on this…4 is better than 5 ...that´s what they teach you in school from day one, so yeah

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I don't see the real problem here. What's the annoying point you have? Too much buttons to do? I always leave the last button in the hole…never really open it. But I feel more complete with the classic design

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^ so you prefer 4€ over 5€?

How would you know the difference if you have never worn both?
