Samurai Jeans

[Chris]

Funny you should mention that; I just had the same observation while discussing some upcoming releases with Gordon at BiG.  Makes me less interested in the heavier offerings from companies that really specialize in slubby, irregular denim.

@beautiful_FrEaK:

You are quite late to the party We talked about it some posts ago. But I agree with you that the color on those pics isn't the best (or maybe it's really a shitty color). Let's wait how BiG captures the color.

oops, my bad, didnt catch the earlier posts. I fucking hate pink jeans, blue jeans are blue, period, with the exception of overdyed models… if not, they cant and should not be called jeans in my blue-jean-taliban opinion

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^indeed they shouldn't be called jeans! jeans are meant to be made of denim. and denim is only denim if it is a twill weave with a blue warp and a white weft. so overdyed and all the colored weft jeans (which recently show up) aren't 'real' jeans.
but in the end…well...everyone has to decide on its own

just colored cotton twill pants

Hi guys, can anyone tell me the model of the widest (straight leg) denim samurai produce? Also I need a hand with sizing, I'm a 32 waist and would like them to fit nicely after a soak obviously.

Thanks in advance!

0500's, stay true to size.

[Finn666]

i don´t know if it´s the "widest" but i´d look into the s5000vx if i were you!…

Cheers for the speedy response

Any idea what size I'd need to go for?

Thanks again!

[Megatron1505]

0500's are wider, 5000's are reasonably slim for Samurai. Trust me, I own(ed) both at the same time, I kept the 5000's as the 0500 were a little wide for my taste.

True to size in both the 0500 (wider) or the 5000's (slim straight). The 5000's are slimmer, but are far from a slim jean, they are my favourite cut of Samurai, very flattering in my opinion.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you want wide? go for S3000VX. also the 510 is a cut with wide legs

for comparison, check here:

[Jord666]

thanks for this, you guys have been a great help, what about the s510xx? are they wider?

cheers.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes they are. check the link I just edited in my post

i thought it was the other way aroung???…
5000 wider as 0500!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

5000 has a lower rise and is slimmer in the top block and thighs but with a straight leg.
The 0500 is more generous in the upper half and tapers. So if you downsize a bit, the 0500 can achieve a slimmer look, because you have a slimmer overall sihouette. A 5000vx downsized too much can look kinda bootcut-esque

[Finn666]

so the 5000 is wider (hem) as the 0500 if i read that right

[beautiful_FrEaK]

correct

[Finn666]

i knew i was right

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah, correct regarding the leg opening. but as Jord666 wanted the widest leg overall, I still stand by my suggestion of S510 or S3000VX

yes there are even wider ones but those are a bit more special and more repro pairs.

s710xx - 2 Initial hot soaks + light tumble dry to get shrinkage out. These are 5.5 months in and had their first cold handwash.

@beautiful_FrEaK:

correct

Not according to BIG, the leg opening is the same in most sizes, and 0.5" larger in others for the 0500, which offers a wider overall fit through the leg than the 5000. Check for yourselves, honestly.

Also, my experience is that the same size 0500 fits wider than a 5000.
