Samurai Jeans

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

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. -
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!?...

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.
Before washing:
After washing:

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.
-
Yep great evo, but totally understand the fit part. I have a pair or two that fit too tight that I use the same way!
-
Those look really good Chris, I know what you mean about the fit though, I have the same issue with a
pair of mine. -
Yeah, it was disappointing. In the very first wash, they went from a 13" thigh to12". Unfortunately for me, my thighs are 24", so they've been super tight from day one. Not the fit you expect from the 5000 cut. I love the denim and the details though. At some point I'll buy another pair of Samurai, I'm sure.

My 510XX's shrunk a lot on the waist, I got a 33 and after the first wash they went down to about a 31 1/2.
I love the 21/23 oz. denim, very heavy but they never stretched back out. I don't wear them at all anymore.
I wear my 5000VX 24/27 oz. all the time, they're a 34 waist and shrunk about a half inch after the first wash
and are the same after the second wash. I'll definitely get another pair of Samurai's down the line too, that
5000VX fit is my fave. -
Samurai's denim varies so much, my S5000VX 21oz took around 6 full washes to get all the shrinkage out of them, yet I had some S5000BK that stayed exactly the same size after an initial hot soak, same for my 710's :-\
-
Very true Mega, they use so many different denims and they all shrink differently…Both my pairs were washed
in cold water to avoid a lot of shrinking but the 510's really shrunk unfortunately.
