No puppy included? Dammit!

pulled trigger on s710xx yesterday on my seemingly never ending search for a pair of raws to fit my tall self. should be here by friday and will post fit pics.

*on a sidenote, being tall sucks when it comes to finding denim. That is all.

[shego]

How tall are you, tatmantall?!

[tatmantall]

6'6"

My 1st pair of Samurai; Sam S710xx size 31, i should have size down 2 instead of 1. some fit pics after 2 hours boiling hot soak and hem shortened by 6 inches at Railcar. do you guys think this will shrink more if i do another hot soak?
sorry for the sleepers.

Great fit^

Do a soak with some agitation. Turn the jeans inside out first. No need to go boiling hot, just as hot as your tap will go. Hang dry. That should do it.

Fit looks nice! And it will get better down the road (with the upcoming washes and all)

[Max Power]

Another soak or gentle wash might give you extra shrinkage, but not that much. Turning inside out in not necessary when you soak, but when you wash. Enjoy them!

I've had a ton of shrinkage in my jp003-a after nearly boiling hot soak. I'm my experience the hotter the better, hasn't done any damage or anything whatsoever

[Max Power]

As long as you don't fry the patch…

[Blackheart]

Lookin' good ben! Another soak won't hurt.

[Nerkg]

I put vasoline on it first

[demonito]

u eventually got rid of those stupid unbranded jeans eh? i told you jap denim is the best. leave it like that and use it let wabi sabi takes its place stop being all nerdy about everything. dont listen to the boys here just use the god damn jeans youll understand later

Samurai is getting two 15th anniversary models ready. 25oz. Reminds me of another brand… whose initals start with I and end with H.

In any case, the jeans look badass.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Maybe the source from the same mill? Giles would most likely know about it. But the the Samurai one is unsanforized AFAIK

[Seul]

Just because it also happens to be 25 oz. doesn't necessarily mean it's the same denim…

[Jordan23]

Heard the same b_f!…getting these asap.

Enjoy ya addiction!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'll let them pass.
I'm going to concentrate on other brands and more "regular" denim in the future
