      Can someone who knows there way around samurai tell me what if any other fits use the same denim as the s003jp-a?
      I love the character of those but there a bit to slim for me and they are also sold out
      Thx guys

        answered you already on Sufu. It was a special denim only released once in this cut (so far)

            Exposed selvage on the coin pocket looks tacky and cheap.  Samurai should stick with hidden selvedge or peekaboo.

                ^Haha. MikeC, you're the man. I love how you state opinion as fact. In our increasingly-PC world, you're a breath of fresh air.

                  I think most of us agree with with MikeC

                  @nerkg: you might like the S001JP-F? The cut is fuller (similar to the S5000) but uses 100% wool weft instead of the paper the 003-A uses

                      well…both are 17oz denim. the warp is similar just the weft is really different. The only worn in pair of the S003JP-A belong to saintkeat who had 4 or 5 crotch blow outs (but he bikes A LOT). In terms of fading...puh...hard to predict

                          Hey guys!

                          I have huge thighs and calves but want a more slimmer look. Been rockin the IH-634S for like 9 months now and am looking at samurais. Any suggestions to the direction i should be heading in?

                          Thanks!

                            5000, 0510, 0500…some of those should be the right thing for you!

                              b_f, do you know anything about the 2013 710XX collabs from BiG. On their Instagram, it states there is a black and indigo and they are named the Black Hawk & Yellow Hawk.  I'm really liking how Samurai consistently puts out waist 35s.

                                I can't tell you much more about it. MaxPower asked Gordon some month ago and he already spoke about these and leaked some infos..
                                They should be made of the 17oz black VX denim and the other pair maybe of the 15oz Texas Cotton denim (or again 17oz indigo VX denim like last time). Not much known about the other details like leatcher patch, buttons or thread color

                                  Really love my 0510's but if anyone is aware of a similar rise/fit in any other brand please let me know! 🙂

                                    The good thing about the 510 is, that you can get it in different denim variations. That said, you can look into many different fits from other brands that all should resemble a ‘40s-‘50s fit.
                                    I can’t guarantee you that they are all similar but take a look at Fullcount 0105, Denime XX, Skull 5000, Warehouse 1000XX and 1001XX, Sugarcane 47, Evisu 2001, SDA 101.
                                    All those are 501 repros from the 40s to 50s, they should have similar dimensions. Just compare the measurements.
                                    I don’t know the IH equivalent but it could be the 634 or maybe better, the 1955.

                                      Awesome, thanks B_F, you know your jeans!  I have a 634S as well but looking to try other brands.  Thanks!

                                        Hey guys,

                                        I'm debating on getting a pair of 666s or the 710xx. I'm a skinny guy, tts is sz 29 so slim jeans look much better of me. Based on the measurements the 666s is slimmer, but silhouette wise, how do they compare? Also, the denim. Which one fades faster, gets softer, etc.. Is Samurai construction comparable to IH? And ultimately, which one would you guys recommend?

                                        Thanks!

                                          IMO, it's a coin flip between the IH-666S and Samurai 710XX.  Both are great raw unsanforized denims, so fading potential is there for both. I'm pretty sure the 710XX 19oz fades a little quicker with more marbling, but I'm wearing the 18oz in the IH-634SV cut and my thighs have intense vertical falling with great contrast on the high wear areas.  Maybe someone with experience with both can chime in…...

                                            In my experience, Samurai is less durable, due to the use of cotton constructional thread.  Poly cotton thread, like IH uses, is simply stronger and longer lasting.  If you like popped stitches, though, Samurai is great.

                                            By the way, I'm not saying that Samurai construction is sub-par, it's just that they're going for a different  aesthetic.  All cotton construction is more of a pre-WWII vibe.

                                            EDIT: Ignore this- as Clint points out below, both pairs have 100% cotton thread, so my input is irrelevant…
