Me in my 710xx tag size 36. Opinions on the fit? This is after soaking and wearing for about 6 months. Since then, I've given them their first wash in the machine and they shrunk a little but my gf says that they look a big….
Thinking of buying another pair of 710's and sizing down to get a slim fit.
As it stands, my tag size W36 measure as follows (BIG Style):
W 37
FR 11.5
BR 16
Thigh 13
Knee 9.5
Hem 8.75I machine washed the jeans twice so I'm assuming that I pretty much got all of the shrinkage out of them. It looks like I lost about half an inch from the waist, thigh, knee, and hem from BIG's sizing charts. Is that consistent with what everyone else is getting with their 710's?
I am thinking of getting a size 35 so I can get a fit similar to my strike golds (below) which have thigh measurement of 12.8 inches and have a knee of 9.25 inches.
What do you guys think? Any help would be appreciated…
-
It looks like I have some space left in my W36…Do you guys think I will be able to size down to a 35?
-
Looks like you could. You can ask Gordon to measure a 35 for you, as the last 710 OG and BKB ran pretty small. Not sure about the XX.

^ Thanks for the advice Max. I'll try to e-mail BiG in a bit…
Do you guys think that a W35 would be the "right" fit for the 710xx? I don't think I can go down to W34 unless I lose some serious weight (it's because I like booze more than jeans).
-
Here's a fit pic of my size 36 after another wash. I don't think there's anymore shrinkage left.
Based on this picture, would a 35 be a "proper size" for this cut or should I be looking at a different model?
-
BiG has one pair of w35 left… Will sizing down one size make a big difference from my 36? Based on the above do you guys think a 35 would look good?
-
I don't find the fit above way too big and I am still wondering that you wore them 6 months and then ask about the fit
And yes, a size 35 will look smaller but not by much
-
^ its because I qm a denim noobie
Can you recommend me a better fit/model ? I know BF is the resident samurai master

Based on your bodytype, I don't think you should go with a slimmer cut.I think the above fit looks good, sizing down might not do much difference.
-
Ok, I accept that as an excuse
Well, the fit above doesn't look bad but if your goal is too achieve a slimmer fit, I am not sure if Samurai will be the brand you should choose. The S003JP would be slimmer or the 711 (tight straight fit).
A size down…you have enough room in the knee area and below the knee. But only you know how much room your current size 36 gives you

^ thanks max and BF…

Thinking of buying myself another pair of jeans for my birthday and was looking through BIG's sizing charts and was wondering if a W35 0500x would fit me better than my W36 710xx.
Would the 0500x give me a more fitted look? Any advice/input would be appreciated…

The 0500 in size 35 would look nearly the same as a 710 in size 36.
So still, if you wanan go slimmer, size down on the 710 -

1st post and long time lurker.
I recently bought some Samurai Jeans s710xx 24oz from 2nd Japan. I received them last week. I then soaked them and let them dry. When I tried them on and got them fully buttoned, I noticed the top button got very loose. Is this normal? Is it due to the thick denim or is this a defective button? It bothers me because these are brand new jeans. Does anyone know if its possible to get a replacement button and get it put on the jeans? I have several pairs of Samurai Jeans, as well as, Iron Hearts. I've never had this problem before. Should I worry or just try to let it go? I've attached some picks, thanks!

@714hamilton281 firstly, welcome to the forum second, I wouldn't expect that from a new pair of jeans but I've experienced the same on a pair of naked and famous 21onz, I purchased a set of jeans buttons from EBay and used a hammer and a hard surface… Job done

Thanks for the response, however; I'm kinda OCD and would like to get a replacement button from Samurai. I did email them and also 2nd Japan. Hopefully they will respond but I don't think 2nd's staff speaks English.

@714hamilton281 that is definitely not how it should look, but also not terribly unusual on heavy denim. I do not have any experience with Samurai but if they are anything like Iron Heart I suspect they will ask you to send the jeans back so they can be repaired or have a new pair sent to you…... Assuming you have not hemmed them yet.
