      Those measurements are PRE-soak?  That seems really small; about prefect for post-soak, though.

          nice little package came in the mail today.  My first pair of Samurai jeans.  Bought them from a forum member while looking for a flannel shirt.  The wait for my MBB was killing me and I pulled the trigger on these S0500xx.  The price and size was right.

            looks like the dneim from Lot.15 is a bit more irregular again (more than Lot.12). That's good 🙂

                  Indeed. I don't know why, but these pics make me want to get a new pair of jeans. Ah, the pleausres of soaking and first wear after they're dry…

                      it's really a nice fit. I'm indeed curious how the red and blue arcs blend in with the rest of teh jeans, once they are worn in.
                      It's also not my cup of tea but Evisu also make bright, colored arcs/gulls work

                          Who's a good online provider of Samurai jeans?  And is it really that hard to get a pair with their signature red tab into the States?

                            Best online provider in the states is BlueInGreen in NYC. As for the red tab, as long as you have a Japanese friend or a proxy buyer, it's fairly easy.

                              I'm sure a lot of shops will sell to the US on rakuten…easy peasy.

                                I've never used rakuten.  Is it safe and reliable and are there customs duty crap I need to worry about?

                                  I love rakuten. Very safe and reliable etc , although I can see it being intimidating to a first time buyer. I've never had to pay customs chargers but I live in the US… Other countries may be more strict.

                                    Shops you could/should buy from:

                                    BiG (support your local dealer)
                                    DC4 (easy communication, nice dudes)
                                    2ND (biggest stock of Samurai jeans, no English though, communication via google translator)
                                    Kaizoku Pirates (good communication in English, often discounted shipping, contact Yuichi if you prefer raw)

                                      Blue In Green should be your first choice.  Great selection, no hassle with shipping or customs and Gordon is absolutely wonderful to deal with.  I strongly recommend you go this route.  I think you'll be happy with the results.

                                        Cheers for the nice comments guys! I'm loving the fit It's probably my favourite cut I've owned so far, I'm also a big fan of the coloured arcs on these, I don't know why but they have really grown on me since I first pre-ordered and when I got to see them in person and all the different details I just absolutely love them 🙂

                                        Oh and I say BIG is the way to go depending on wether they have what your looking for or not obviously, customs charges from Japan to me (in the UK) have been far more expensive than a package from the US

                                        And as for the red tab, I recently traded the pair of S5000VX I got from BIG with another forum member here and they had the red tab.

                                        Hope that helps

                                          If BiG doesn't have the specific model you want, email Gordon and see if he can get it for you.  I know he's willing to track down things they don't have in stock.  Sometimes even things that are supposed to be only released in Japan.
