Samurai Jeans
-
Oh believe me, Rocket, I often feel like I'm too old for things that happen around here.
Then I look back at some of my posts and realize that I'm as big a child as anyone else.:)
And if we ever have the pleasure of meeting, I'm quite certain there will be many beers…
-
The IH-1955S have 5 buttons because the rise is longer that on other IH jeans. G
This was the only reason I could of imagined there being a reason for difference in button amounts.
-
Guess it makes sense that my Triple Works 1220s have only 3 buttons, since they have a low rise.

Will abuse this thread soon with fit pics of the S5000VX…
so after all this trouble (hey we now have 54 likes in this thread: at least something
)I don't think you will be really pleased with the S5000VX based on what I know from you. It is quite fitted in the top-block (which you like) but the straight leg might end up looking bootcut-esque. As you already had your 634 tapered (IIRC) to appeal to you, you might have to do the same with S5000VX if you want to keep&like them.

you'll see soon enough and can judge yourself
but besides that: 17oz only qualifies as pyjamas for you, eh?

BiG got the S5000KA24oz in. No pics up yet
http://blueingreenso…emart&Itemid=41or check 2nd:

2nd also has pictures up. whether the lighting was different or prototype was different. the color doesn't appeal to me and the old S5000KA looked way better
the best part on these is the leather patch IMO
-
I don't like the color at all. As I said the older ones had a more brown color. But as you like pigs, the color might appeal to you
Where did you get your sams from?…2nd?How much would this be total in Euro (inclusive german taxes)?Thx!
I had one standard dealer for Samurai but also bought from 2nd or other shops.
But now I buy from DC4.
The price for these in Euro including tax and shipping would be…drumroll...a lot.Ok..now we do the math together:
Item price is 52,500 Yen. Shipping would be (as this is a 24oz denim) around 4000 Yen: and now + 19% VAT and 12% custom tax for cotton products. If you can show them the exact quote for the shipping, only 19% VAT will be applied on this.So the "cheapest" price would be 68775 Yen for the jeans + 4760 Yen for shipping = 73535 Yen which is roughly 730 €
You could also ask DC4 if they would special order these jeans for you if you don't want to deal with 2ND
-
or they're $725 in the us from big and you get them shipped to you as a low value gift…
that's why I posted both links. 2ND and BiG. But it's true. 725$ sound 'good' at first but you also have to pay shipping (although Gordon might skip that for you considering the price you already pay) and customs would be the same 31%
edit: but as I said. The old S5000KA was nicer in my eyes. Cooler color and nicer texture
