Samurai Jeans

[Chris]

Yeah, that one was pretty intense.

@BD81:

Cool. Thanks. I will keep that in mind for the next pair. It actually doesn't bother me like it did at first. I think it looks kind of cool now. I would like to avoid it in the future though.

Pretty serendipitious but Haraki-san just posted this on his IG. It shows the 19oz LHT (washed, unsanforised), the 21oz (fully sanforised), the UHR (loomstate) and the XHS 25oz (lightly sanforised, no wash).

All pairs have been heavily worn and washed (I believe by H himself). You clearly can see which jeans display leg twist and how much.

Fit pics from august before initial soak. Pardon the bad quality.

[BD81]

For some reason that is the only pic i am able to upload?

[BD81]

Mine is about the same but opposite leg

[BD81]

Sorry for all the posts, I have been trying to upload my original fit fics pre soak…apparantly there is a problem with my upload. Here are a few from today at 5 months, 1 hot soak, 0 washes.

Get a pair of IH-666-XHS. You'll have a similar fit, some kick ass denim that wears in beautifully, better construction all over, and never have to worry about leg twist.

[BD81]

I think the 666 will be too snug in the thigh. I have actually had my eye on the 888 for a while now. I love the fit of these 510s except i find the leg opening a touch wide.

[neph93]

888 is a very versatile cut. After a lot of experimenting and a couple of wrong moves it has become “my cut”.

[BD81]

Nice! Did you go TTS ?

[neph93]

I size down one. The waist sits high and I’m narrower there. The thigh is generous enough for it not to be a problem.

I am waiting for my pre-ordered s710xx 19oz from denimio, can't wait 

[Crit_Obs]

How are the IH better constructed? I know about the difference between full cotton stitching and poly-cotton but I assume there must be something else?

I'm a noob and cannot see how my IH are better constructed than my Samurais, I'm probably missing out.

Cool beans, nice to see an actual Samurai-related post in the Samurai thread for a change.

The S710 is the all time greatest cut ever for me, hope you find it to your liking.

i am noob too but i think that both Samurai and IH are very high end quality. I have read that Samurais are a bit slubbier but that is just personal taste IMHO
