@Megatron1505:

I've always bought my Sammies from 2nd, not shopped there for a number of years but their service is still great if you don't mind translating every email into simplified Japanese.

I've bought from 2nd  too & agree with @Megatron1505  great service used google translate & had no problems

Also bought from blue in green in NY great service fast shipping

2nd - good service & fast.
They usually don't give measurements, though - but they make comparative statements at times…

Kaizoku Pirates / Rakuten is very good - two orders, no problems, quick and straightforward
Blue in Green - ditto!

Thanks for the testimonials gents. Am curious to try ordering from Japan, import duties aside. Will have to see what the taxman says about that of course.

Pre soak fit and relaxing in the tub after soak, they were pretty tight already so I could be in for a painful week.

First impression of the Samurai 25oz is that (pre soak at least) it doesn't feel as hefty as the IH 25oz but much stiffer, probably the starch.

I know that some found the IH 25oz a struggle, I never did, but the Samurai might be a problem due to the stiffness making them abrasive against the skin.

Pre-soak fit in the top block looks great! Hope you can stretch them out again. HWDC2 member mange also had a pretty tight fit with his S5000VX25oz.

And like I said, the Samurai feels lighter. (edit: at least I think I said that…)

Yep pre soak looks good.

Iron and stone challenge part 2 Gav!

[Megatron1505]

Not yet dude. Post soak….

Tron…good luck with those. Sammies are the most forgiving so hope these work out ok. I think I have five pair...love them.

Looking even greater after the soak.

Now fight those jeans and win

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, I reached the conclusion that the S5000 is "my Sammy cut".

[summ3rhays]

Fit looks spot on.  Congrats Gav.  They look like great jawns

[Maynard Friedman]

Excellent Gav, now give them a 60c machine wash and a tumble dry! 

[Megatron1505]

Then put them in the mail to you skinny ass I suppose 

[sabergirl]

I think with a little stretch from wear, those will be a great fit. Are they comfy?

Thanks SG. After a couple of hours wear they are getting pretty comfy already, the top block suits my shape I think but the leg width feels odd after a couple of months in my 555's.

I like that fit!

Enjoy ya addiction!
