Samurai Jeans

[Megatron1505]

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

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

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!

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

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!

The slim/skinny to straight fit transition is always weird. I gotta get into some 555s one of these days.

Yes it does and vice versa. Those look really nice Gav, looking forward to seeing them evolve. Do you have any macros of the denim? Would love to see a closeup.

710 size 36. Worn for about 5 months on weekends only. No washes yet but I'm thinking it's about time? What do you guys think?

[Cole]

I think it looks good, but if it is dirty, wash it. 

[Seth]

5 months only on weekends is about a total of maybe 40 days of wear. If they are dirty, wash them, but otherwise 40 days is a little soon.
