    I completely agree, I was a bit worried when looking through the samurai thread on superfuture and seeing some of the fit pics of the s510xx on others. Also, Because my legs are soooo  long it helps in regards to the width of the thigh to length of the leg ratio and makes them appear more fitted, if that makes sense.

    I did a hot wash to get the shrinkage out completely. The actual inseam itself pre soak was 39.5 and now is just under 37 3/4", which gives me options… something Im not used to for sure. The rise, in fact the whole top block with regard to measurments, is identical to my SEXIH13 634 cut, yet another bonus IMO.

    These will certainly be my main denim for a while  ;), I have been longing for a raw jean, with a more versatile cut that I feel is appropriate for everyday wear and finally found it. I look forward to eventually trying this cut out in samurai's different available denims

        Hi,guys.new member here, but have been a member for darahkubiru(indonesian denim forum) for quite some time. Just want to share if any vintage samurai's collector is interested. I've got an early samurai jeans production. If anyone want to buy/trade it feel free to contact me. It's s511xs lot 2 with the leather patch says 'made in the united states'. Cant find it anywhere else I think

        !

        Cheers

          All I can tell you, that it is NOT made in the US 😉
          The early lots of Samurai had this lettering on the patch but it is just "advertizing talk" as a reference to "made like back in teh days in the USA"
          At least that's what I know

            it says 100% cotton made in the united states, does it mean the cotton is the one made in the USA?

              I have read the same bf has indicated, basically their intention was to just capture the look of the good ol days… Not that they were actually made in USA

                I don't think that Samurai were using the Texas cotton then either.

                  yip..the 100% Texas Cotton denim was first introduced in 2006 with Lot.9
                  I'm sure they used same US cotton before but never advertized it as such. Most Samurai denim is a blend of different cotton

                    Hi all, does anybody have any experience of the left hand Jin denim? Does it shrink a lot, a little or….. a bit? Thanks.

                      It stretches back more and more quickly - button holes can become an issues with tread becoming undone/fraying.
                      Most cuts are on the loose/wide side (except 610) - I went with same size as zero type cuts.

                        Thanks Foxy, saw and tried the left twill Jin boot cut at BIG when in NY (bootcut I know) and really like the fit and denim. Would fit ideal with small shrinkage just concerned if they shrank a lot. Thanks.

                          Black Hawk.  One hot soak.  Still need to settle a little bit.

                              Samurai denim is always so pretty.  Eventually, I'm going to have to get another pair.

                                  Been wearing my 710s for the last few months.  They were too small for a while due to a lean phase but they fit perfectly again and I'm loving them.  Does anyone know if there are any plans on releasing a 21oz version of the 710?  it's something I've been wanting 🙂

                                    Not that anyone cares but really loving my s510xx with the exception during life's necessities, have had them on since the minute they dried from their soak.

                                      I care! I know how much you struggle to find jeans of sufficient length, so it's great that you've got something you love.

                                        Thanks man! Yeah not only is length an issue but I'm a picky lil shit when it comes to every part of the fit…. But they are great... Gonna have to keep my eyes peeked for the different denims in the same cut for future use

                                          Kit99bar, wait for the next BIG 710 releases end of this year. They will do a 21 oz version or heavier.
