Samurai Jeans

;)thanks b_F

[Denimrox]

Thank you guys!!! Hmm in Singapore there is no where to try out samurai. Therefore I have to really hear you guys out. And thanks alot for the information. And this make me think twice on IH634s or the Beatle buster 18oz raw jeans. As I really like the back pocket arc of s5000vx21oz jeans. As for me I prefer just nice fitting but not too baggy jeans. So what do u guys think which one this 3 jeans will fit my legs best?

Unless you find a Lot.13, the S5000VX21oz has yellow arcs

@tatmantall:

Decided to give my 15th anni 17oz s5000vx a second chance today.

More fit pics from you man, looking great

In fact, I've never seen a 5000 fitting that slim (and good).

@Seul:

Dude - they're fucking perfect!..

have to go with my belgian mate right here…fucking sick fit mr.mantall!

[tatmantall]

Thanks again fellas… It's odd to me that the straight fits end up fitting me like most slim fits but guess it must have to go with the waist height ratio.... 6'6" with a 30 waist. Anyway definetly happy with the fit, they work great with boots, but a bit short for sneakers (IMO).

Hi everyone is anyone of here is having a true waist of 36inches and having a couple of model samurai jeans. If there is do you mind posting the pictures and measurement of the jeans. Thank you! Hope some one has it!

just received my 15th anniversary 25oz Samurais (S5000VX25oz, I think they are called) from BIG in NYC.
the fabric has the nicest color and texture. Does NOT feel as heavy as IH 25oz model, feels more like a 21-23 IH. the cut is a bit baggier than the IH 634 and its waist is slightly lower
great pants, quite frankly.

Weird, I was under the impression that the S5000 cut was a touch slimmer than the 634 cut for some reason. Did you wash them or just soak them? Are they slubby at all?

I sized up to 36 and I'm usually a 34, so that may be the reason.
I havent washed them yet
They are wonderfully slubby

Samurai 0500XX :: 4y/o = about 18mos effective wear

[ben2t]

just wish my 710 end up like this!

[Max Power]

Fading pattern on the 710 is different. Less slubby, more contrast and a grey sheen. TBH, I never was too fond of the 0500 in terms of fading. But the cut and slubby denim is great.

That's my 710:

and my 500, same denim.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 0500 has a great texture and interesting concept. Still it doesn't fade that dramatically like the 19oz denim.
But if you want to see the range the 0500XX can fade, take a look here:

thanks for the info MP and BF, i love the cut of the 710 but have no time breaking it.

[BrownIcon]

agree w/Max & b_F on contrast fading.  there are other denim types for that.
however, the 500s remain as the [ultimate] Texas cotton experience for me.

mine was a LOT 9, acquired waaay back when not a lot of peeps know what "slubby" was.
the cut, indigo hue, & slub experience was like sex, for the very 1st time.

Is there a way to tighten the button and its backing part on a samursi's fly buttons…. One of mine is not attached very well and think if I can get a little piece of steel down in the hole on the buttons front and hit the two securing pins they will bend down further and MAke this a bit more secure and together as a piece. This one button is annoying the shit out if me and keeps coming undone cause its soooo loose
