Could anyone help me with sizing on 710xx's I'm a 30 waist and want them to fit as skinny as possible, an am wondering what size you guys would recommend? I do plan on hot soaking them initially so there should be 4-6% shrinkage? Will this the stretch back out?

Any help would be appreciated!

size down one (from your true waist) at the most but i would warn you that it would be a bit uncomfortable for a day or so

to be completely honest jord, look at the thigh measurements. compare your favorite pair or a pair you want to have the 710s fit like and go from there. The waist has give in it after the soak and then some, but the thighs will only go so far. consider what will work and what wont and go from there.

Thanks for te advice guys, the thigh would be ok in the waist 30 size but I'm worried about soaking them and the waist and thigh shrinking too much? So they should stretch back out to a 30 after a hot soak?

Thanks again!

dont worry about the waist,  it will stretch out__ focus on the thighs.
you need about an inch slack at the thighs pre soak.
hot soak from hem to above the knee 1st. 
then,  as water cool off slide em down for a full soak for about 30 mins

__ if you're really worried about the waist,  button up & jam a stick against the waistband [to prevent it from shrinking] before the soak & keep it til jeans fully dry.

Well my tripple works are a 33 waist (i have lost weight since buying them) and the thigh is about 12" when I measure it flat and I have a little room in that, the samurais are 11.75" before a soak at size 29 (30" waist) would this be a good size do you think?

Thanks again!

Just measured a pair of my slimmet jeans and theyre measuring 11.5 and hugging the thigh, Am I better off with a different cut if my thighs are that big?

Cheers

either size up 1 or check other cuts/models

… tho', on BiG's 710 chart W29 & 30 got same u/thigh measurements.  if you're getting them @BiG,  call ahead & ask for actual thigh measurement on the pair you're purchasing.

Cheers for the advice guys really apreciate it! I called the guys at BIG, I decided to go for the 21oz S5000VX instead, I know it's a Completley different fit but I've been meaning to grab a pair of these for a while and thought it may be my best option, I went for the size 29 (waist 31.75) anD plan on giving them a hot soak to get 2" of shrinkage out of the waist and an inch back when I break them in! Hope it all turns out ok

Hi Guys! They just arrived and I couldn't be more happy! They're amazing! The thigh is 12" pre soak an is quite snug, how much should this shrink down? Would I be best not hot soaking or even soaking them on myself? Really need advice on what to do with these because I really don't want to ruin them!

Thanks for the advice so far, it's really appreciated!

In my experience (albiet with Flat Head and not Samurai), if you're worried about them shrinking too much during the soak, then wear them during it. Yes, it's uncomfortable to sit in the tub for an hour in hot jeans, but at least then you know you'll be able to get them back on.
