Hi Guys, anyone have any experience with they're Shirting? I'm a 40" chest and am wondering what size to go for in this

I tried a L once and it was perfect. I'm L in most IH shirts, XL in some. But that is just based on one experience.

Samurai sizing on shirts, and their cut and sewn, does vary wildly though. Some of their XL tees have a pit to pit measurement of 20".

I would recommend being very sure before ordering.

Having said that, my only actual "hands on" experience of Samurai tops comes from three or four tees, a hoody and a type 2 jacket I've owned. Never actually owned a button up shirt.

Cheers guys, I would like to be sure before ordering and have sent them an email because there are no measurement charts in the description but the email doesn't make any sense with google translator…

Got my old 710 out…still love the denim and fit so  much, I'm considering another pair.

damn Flo, how old is "old"?…not more than 10months, right?

you beast

Their sizing for shirts is a bit inconsistent - I'm wearing their shirts in M and L depending on the model, thickness of fabric and shrinkage of fabric.

Getting actual measurements from Samurai will be tricky and I fear that 2nd also might not sent measurements…

Japanese website mention this washed on their sizing chart but i have doubt on the translation, can anybody help confirm if tag size 38 has 52cm and i can expect minimal or no shrinkage at all if i soak/wash this one or should i consider the size 40 chest 54cm and expect some noticeable shrinkage. many thanks.

All Samurai denim jackets are one washed, you will not get much shrinkage. Trust me, I had the same question a couple of years ago, owned one very similar to the one pictured (mine was the Jin denim), and washed it with no shrinkage.

Thanks for your very helpful input megatron.

I'm a couple of months into my S5000VX and I've just noticed the front pocket stitching coming undone, is there any way to repair this myself or should I send them off and get it done professionally?

Cheers

Wabi-sabi man. Busted pocket threads look pretty cool in my opinion.

(but if you hate it, I would check the Repairs and Modifications thread for home repair tips).
