Samurai Jeans

[Seul]

I really love those new Sammie arcs though!..

@Dirty:

The length went to a 31.75 and the waist to a 33.5

What were the original (unsoaked) measurements?

[Dirty Denim]

34 waist and the inseam was 34 if  i remember right.  The 1st soak brought the waist down to a 32 and the inseam to 32

TAGGED 33 WAIST

[Flash]

Some measurements of my 5000vx
Tag size 29 , hemmed to 34 by Gordon
Waist . 28  Stretched to 30 after a day of wear
Thigh . 11.25
Front rise . 10
Back rise . 13.25
Inseam . 31.75

Haven't got any fit pics yet but I'll try and get some up soon

Until you post your fit pics, I'll share mine

This is the first pair I really think of get them hemmed to a right length…or I just wear them like the kids back in the '50s

[Blackheart]

Nice pics b_F, that's how I wear mine too, with a double cuff or one big cuff like yours.

[Dirty Denim]

I love the one big cuff.  It looks great with boots

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thanks you two! the 5000 has a nice, modern fit with a lower rise which should be worn on the hips. with the correct length it really looks good (stacking is quite hard to get, with this bigger leg opening)

[Blackheart]

I love the big cuffs, especially with engineer/biker boots…Stacking looks better with a slimmer leg.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

exactly. stacking is for slimmer/tapered legs,
I also think this cut looks even better/slimmer in smaller sizes (32 and smaller)

and I still wait for your update, BH

[Blackheart]

Pics were taken b_F, my home computer is so old and slow it won't load them and I can't do it from work.
Maybe I can e-mail them to you and you can post them, if that's okay PM me your e-mail and I'll get them to
you on Monday.

hem hem hem hem…and keep the beard

Ended up sending my 5000's for a taper , I've been obsessing about a pair of blue shadows ( long sold out ) so I thought I'd have these tapered to 710 measurements wich is my all time favourite cut , can't wait to get them back now

[Finn666]

where have you sent´em to mate?

[Flash]

Brought them to a friend of mine in Belfast , realy good seamstress , I've had a pair tapered by her before and they worked out great
Remember reading you were thinking of tapering your 634sr's , still thinking about it ?

[Finn666]

yap, still thinking about it…though i think i´ll first let them hem, to see if i like the fit a bit better then, as the denim might fall a bit different then and if not, then they´ll go in for a taper job...max 0.5" inch though!

is she able to taper the jeans on the inside leg?...you might be able to post some pics after it´s done!?...

[Flash]

Yea she has realy confused the first time I asked her to only taper from the inseam , according to her the only way jeans should be tapered is from the inseam unless you want to create extra work for yourself

After an afternoon wrestling support posts in my muggy, muddy backyard, it was time to wash my jeans.  I figured I'd toss up a couple of before and after pics, since the pair I own (Wind Element, aka S5000 GX-K) isn't that common.  These are basically my beater jeans; they shrank way more than expected in the thigh- about an inch- and were never really comfortable to wear.  I worked on them for about 6 months before I gave up and started just wearing them while doing home improvement projects.  This is the fourth wash, if I recall correctly [EDIT: actually, the seventh wash].  Anyway, here they are.

they look great imo…

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they really do look great. a lot of fading was covered by that dirt. too bad they don't fit you the way you want them to.
