Samurai Jeans

@Jord666:

Cheers for the speedy response

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

Thanks again!

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.

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

for comparison, check here:

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

cheers.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Megatron1505:

0500's are wider, 5000's are reasonably slim for Samurai…

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.

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.

[Finn666]

i´m not that serious about it gave so i´m fine if you´re right on this but i always had in mind, that the 5000 is the wider/fuller cut of these two!…

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Maybe I'm too dumb but..

S5000VX

S0500XX

I don't see the leg opening of the S0500XX one single time bigger than the S5000VX…

yet the S0500XX you more room in the upper half...or above the knee. But I already said that

[Finn666]

^and the other measurements (thigh, knee, hem) aren´t bigger as well!…hmmmmmmmmm

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It might be a because of the higher rise of the S0500XX. So you can sag them and they feel wider on your body

[Finn666]

could be possible but you should know since you own all pairs right!?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you would think so, right?
But honestly, every person feels different about a fit. The pure figures can't always show you how it will feel on your body.

[Megatron1505]

My bad, I compared the first 5000 cut I saw, which was the 24oz… Seems to be different for some reason ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes, the fits differ with different denim (like IH too). At least BiG shows this. Samurai uses the same measurements for every release. That's why you should never rely on their official measuremensts
