Samurai Jeans

Pre wash? Yup.

Im guessing he measured the thigh 1" below the crotch Furatto. Am i correct Mega?

[Megatron1505]

I did, wearing them now post soak, the waist is now exactly 38", which is fine but Max says the denim has plenty of stretch so that is a concern. Fit elsewhere has tightened up nicely, can't be bothered to measure it this late at night though.

They are pretty slim but not overly so, which works for me because I'm not built for skinny jeans. I'm going to wear them for a few days before deciding whether to give them a machine wash to clear up any remaining shrink.

Im in the same boat for most sizes Gav. Wish some brands would make a sz37 fuck. Check the other measurements when u get a chance for me

Mega..I love my pair of these….super nice crunchy denim...and super fit..I haven't found a lot of stretch in my Sammies

[khaki8]

Pillow pants…I am a36 or 37 and the 38 fits perfect after putting them in the dryer....they shrink up more and the fabric becomes a little tighter. I have the 19 oz Sammy also and went 38...all the other Sammies are 36.

Right on. Thx man

any pics old man!?

[Megatron1505]

No good ones, I'll do those at the weekend when the rain stops (hopefully).

[Finn666]

all i can see myself looking at, are those shoes ??? the fuck? …

edit: after a 2nd look, the jeans do look like a nice fit

[Chris]

I hope the shoes are really, really comfortable.  Otherwise there is truly no excuse for wearing something that hideous.

[Seul]

They're the official Mansfield's Chavs United footwear…

[Megatron1505]

They're a pair of 10 year old Hush Puppy slippers you dumb fucks 

And Seul, EVERYONE remembers your Diors 

[Chris]

Neither of those things change how shamefully ugly they are.

[Megatron1505]

Or how deliciously comfortable (and disgustingly smelly) they are

Pretty bummed out….I've been wearing my 710's for only a little bit over a month now and noticed that the crotch seam has pretty much ripped apart. I'm surprised that this happened so quickly given how new the jeans are (I've been wearing my Iron Hearts and Strike Golds for well over a year and never had this issue). Has anyone else had this happen? Any recommendations for fixes?

[NorthernVictory]

Does Strike Gold use poly-cotton? IIRC, Samurai does not (or rather, uses pure cotton threads even for the crotch seams).

Nope

[Max Power]

True, Samurai does not. But the stitching is not as weak as you might think. My 500XX are almost 2 years old and I had only to do minor repairs twice (not in the crotch, only frontpockets).
