Those mofos so neppy they got reverse (interior) nep. Really nice looking denim.

perfect fit right there J.!

@JCMx800:

Well, I cheated on my one and only love -> Iron Heart. I ordered a S5000XV 17oz for Summer…

where have you ordered them from mate?

Hi all,
I gained 30 lbs this year (back to my weight in 2011) and have worn my old s500JX-LR for most of this year. Am back on the Samurai kick and would love this 21oz model 710.  Anyone heard more on it?
Pics of the newly faded JX-LRs soon too (washed every 1.5 months or so).

@kit99bar:

whoa, fantastic!  Was this announced anywhere?  Will drop Gordon an email if not

@Max:

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

My HWDC1 710's, temporarily semi-retired:

Kindly asking what model that is, xtc.

I'm looking for Samurai cut in a similar vein to the 634.

[Seul]

@beautiful_FrEaK will surely be able to help you out there, but I reckon the 5000XX is close to the 634S'es…

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It is the S710XX, as he also wrote (yeah, I am a smartass…)

From what I mostly heard, the S5000VX is in terms of cutting the closest to the 634

[khaki8]

I think the 710 is close..but I had to size up and then wash and drier them. I did that with all my Sammies.
I have the 5000 also. The 710 has more rise. Sammies are the bomb!

After waiting for 2 hours at the customs I got my 710 OG.

First impression: the denim is incredible soft, even if heavily starched. And much darker than I feared. That's great. Not as slubby or hairyas I hoped.

The patch is Samurai's best so far- much thicker and sturdier than the other ones. Nice details like lined pockets and selvage button fly.

The measurements (size 34):

W 89 cm

FR 29 cm

BR 40 cm

T 32,5 cm

Lo 21,5 cm

In 92,5 cm (hemmed)

Not sure about the fit, after the WH desaster I'll wait until after the soak / wash to judge.

[JCMx800]

Jeans looks badass!!!

[Jordan23]

I like the fit on you! Where you get it from if i mind asking?

[Max Power]

Thanks! I orderd at Yuichi / Kaizoku Pirates. Great service and fast shipping.

Damn right!

So, here's the result after one hot soak and one gentle wash. I think I didn't gt much shrinkage out of it - which is good in the topblock but I might need a hemjob. The upper part felt tight at first, but as I said, the denim feels stretchy so they were fine after few minutes. A little more space will surely occur and make them even better. The rest of the fit - I think it's perfect, a bit slimmer than my 710xx (or I got fatter).

W 86cm

FR 28cm

BR 38cm

LO 20,5cm

In 88,5cm

Just perfect!

[Max Power]

Thank you

[JCMx800]

Looks fine!!! Length looks good too, why the hem-Job?

[Max Power]

I'll wait un til the creases set in. I don't like wearing cuffs nor Monster stacks, that's why.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Your pre-soak fit with cuffs and the Vibergs looked great though

[Hereforthebeer]

Yeh, that patch is a winner.
