      @kit99bar:

      BF, the BKxBK material doesn't shrink much and stretch a lot right?  It looks like I could do a 29 or even 28 in these.

      the BKB also uses a variation of the VX denim which normally shrinks less and streches much. But my S5000BK (also VX denim) shrank a lot with a single soak (still stretches though).
      I think 2 guys on Sufu own this pair and also posted measuremens some weeks ago. Take a look there as I'm hesitant to give an advice on a pair I don't own or handled.

        I'm thinking of ordering the Samurai S510XX 21oz  from dc4. My fiirst Samurai. I'm unsure about the sizing though.
        I'm wearing size 34 in IH 634S and S-RAW and both fit perfect in the waist (and in the leg). Seems I have to size up for the S510XX at least one size. They should end up with 35-35,5 inch (IH/BIG measuring method) in the waist after soaking and stretching.
        (I know dc4 uses a different measuring method).

        What do you think? Size 35?

          I really like the colour of these loopwheel pieces, wish they'd make bigger sizes …

            I have the 634S Raw in 33 and bought the S510XX (at DC4) in 34!So a 35 should fit you! The quality is awesome.

              Yeah that sounds about right. From my personal experience, the S510XX21oz shrinks from tag size but also stretches back out to the raw measurement after wear. So the 35 might be the correct size.

                thanks jordan and b_f,
                I'll order a size 35 then.

                  Hi Ed, I'm fine. How are you? In HK again, I need get out to Asia again.
                  Got an order waiting at Take5 waiting to get shipped (including a Samurai pair). Should I try and have them send it to Moscow?

                    @jacoavlu:

                    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

                      This could be a pair riff is selling?! I remember he said something about owning a CX. Well they are not the KA (so not dyed with persimmon juice AFAIK) but still a very rare piece. Thanks for the link!

                        Yeah from the other items being sold by this seller and the images used, I think you may be right. I almost bought a pair of the CX a few years ago from farmer but passed. Regret it a bit.

                            yeah they have a nicer texture (to me).

                            But now after Lando posted the S5000CX, I wished Samurai would do those again. A classic color and with the smoother texture, they look more normal which makes them easier to pull off.

                            Too bad Samurai concentrates more on jeans or overdesigned pants for their other lines I would never wear …

                              To bring back the talk about the S5000KA24oz for a brief moment: the officiel blog entry

                              http://ameblo.jp/samuraihonten/entry-11156246512.html

                              The color of the pants looks better on those pictures than on the official 'pants introduction page' (there is also one model which had in real life better denim than what the official pics made you think) but the lighting on those blog entry is…well...not the best. Too dark I'd say to take good pictures.

                                What's the closest Sammie cut to the 634?

                                  S5000vx is similar cut in the leg, but slimmer in the top block, 510's are similar in the top block, but slightly looser straight cut in the leg. Of the two my preference would be the S5000's, I have owned both cuts and the 5000 is a bit more flattering for a straight cut.

                                      I'd recommend the S5000 cut also.  I don't have much experience with Samurai, but I do like the pair I have in that fit.
