Is anyone already having experience with the "S510XX21OZII - 21oz CHO-KIWAMI Selvedge Denim"? How does this compare to the 634S 21 from IH? From the measurements, I see that the Samurai runs a bit wider. Does this extra bit of width give a boxy feeling?
-
@the246guy. They are similar. Generally watch the waist measurement as Samurai tends to run a little smaller in the waist for the same tag size. The thigh and knee in general should be a bit more spacious than a 634.

@Go-For-Chill i'm supremely tempted by the S3000XX17oz-SDS, I've been thinking about it ever since I tried it on at self edge months ago, and if I've ruminating this long it probably means I should just buy the damn things. Have you gotten much shrink in the inseam or stretch in the waist with the murasame fabric? It seems like slubby and neppy fabrics stretch a bit more than normal denim but I might be wrong. How do you like your pair?
-
I’ve never measured them, so I can’t offer anything scientific. Just off feel, I’d say they did loosen a bit in areas that get a lot of stretch. The texture in the fabric smooths out a bit. However, the waist feels about the same as when I bought them.
FWIW, I soak and wash them regularly, then hang dry. I always buy jeans that fit great in the fitting room, then don’t worry about care instructions or shrinkage too much. I figure if they become unwearable then they just weren’t meant for me.
This was them hang drying yesterday, almost fully dry.

@Kasi I need you to bless us with a fit pick in these. I’ve been strongly considering them myself.
-
@kasi which ones are those man. Like wide fits

Tomorrow I will get you some fit pictures.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I just picked this shirt up and it’s certainly impressive. I’m curious if you have washed it yet and if it shrank at all? I know it’s rinsed and shrinkage should be minimal but it’s the first samurai shirt I’ve owned and making sure that’s accurate before I exchange for a smaller size.
-
@denami I haven’t washed the new one yet, but my other indigo rope dyed Sammies have all seen the washing machine. With these, it’s always cold wash and hang dry for me - zero noticeable shrinkage
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thanks for the reply. I’m slightly between sizes and went with a medium, if it shrinks a little with a warm wash/dry it would be perfect but it’s always tough to make that call. All the size charts I’ve found for smalls vary so widely that it might be too small in the shoulders.

Scored a SIN22-01W on the bay
