looking cool!
are those the S5000VX21oz? -
Any idea how's the fit of 710s 19oz? If we were to compare with IH, which one is similar? 666? BB?
Have tried searching the measurements but the website is all in japanese.
-
front rise is similar, back rise of the 710 is indeed smaller
-
Thanks mate! Yours a 710s 19oz? How's the denim as compared to IH? Slubby? Hairy?

what abt the thighs, knee and hem? Slimmer? And say if I'm a 33" in the 666S, do I go 32" in the 710s or stick to a 33"?

@volcano
look at the measurements on DC4 or BiG and compare with your 666S

Sams on their way to Beatles.

yeah i just realise 5 minutes ago that DC4 carries them too.
but im wondering are those measurements pre or post soak ones? it seems to differ from BiG.

as always: different ways of measuring! and the measurements are of course pre-soak

19 oz yeah. Slubby and hairy: most certainly. All in all brilliant jeans, but sold them cause the midrise didn't agree with me…
Measure the 666S and go true to size on the 710xx'es.
Damn, Seul, you are a man with very "high" standards (lousy pun intended)! Both these and the PBJ looked fucking perfect on you, yet you let 'em go due to the rise.
-
hehe…
personaly I don't find the rise of my 710 too low but I can understand Eli completely: what's the use of a nice pair of jeans if they just don't fit the way you want them too? the denim and details can be as nice as it gets but if you are not happy wearing them, no need to keep them (unless you are a collector). -
Yep, I wore my Wind element pair for 4+ months, even though the fit kinda sucked. I finally gave up and relegated them to being my home improvement beaters. In retrospect, I should have just sold them and cut my losses.

^really depends on your cut preference. 710s are popular. 'got both the prod'n 19oz & the ltd ed Blue Shadow 17oz Zero denim.
but, if you prefer a more versatile+standard 634 equivalent, you should look into the 5000 cut/silhouette [which comes in several denim options].here are some fit/cut samples:
0110xj: 170z Jin denim
710 Blue Shadow: 17oz Zero denim
001jp Yamato: 15oz
5000AI-10SP: ltd ed 170z nat. ai-dyed warp + Bamboo ink-dyed weft
500xx: 15oz Texas cotton
