George, they look fantastic. Could I be a pain and ask for a close up shot of the denim please?

I agree with Mega.

George, those look so great.

[Megatron1505]

They look so good that I had to go check stock at BiG…..none in my size, but they do have your size Joe

I tried, but fail to do better than they did on BiG's site! Their pics are very accurate:

denim is the same as that of S0110XJ, that have a more relaxed fit and identical rise.

I like the details: outer seams as in the reference pattern, the Japanese lantern label (which resembles the bell of the brand "Blue Bell"), stealth arcs, hickory stripes pocket bags and rear pockets linings, chambray lining as shown in the first pic from above.

Being halfway between straight and slim, you call them the Samurai version of Buster RAW. In some ways.

Amazing, thanks for sharing George.

I had a pair of S0110, but the fit was really, really wide in the leg, love the denim though.

Great pictures!

If Gordon is out of these, there is still the mother country where you might find a pair

Anyone know where I can get a size conversion chart for the s3000VX? I have a Size 29 in the S5000VX and they are just big enough on the thigh, anyone have any experience with both styles?

Best

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What "conversion chart" do you need? from "cm" in "inch"? you just have to divide by 2,54.
I own both the S5000 and S3000. You can check this link for my measurements of my pairs. Both are a size 34

Sorry I should have been clearer, yes I meant CM to Inches, I'm more concerned about thigh and hem measurements of both styles to be honest, the thighs on my s5000vx are just loose enough I really don't think I could afford to go any tighter, which are slimmer profile?

Thanks for the help!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the s5000vx is the slimmer one. as I said, check the link I posted. there is a comparison of both cuts

Still wearing my 710's but mostly wearing my ooe contest jeans

[Blackheart]

Great wear on those Flash.

[Flash]

Thanks BH there is still years of wear in them but recently ive been sticking to the ooe contest jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

contest has priority!

but those 710 looks fantastic!

[Flash]

Thanks mate , the 19oz still my favorite denim

[Max Power]

^you're right about that. lovely pair.

[georgeel]

… And what about these?

S5000KA24oz - Kakishibu Dyed (27oz after washing)
$ 725. They exceed the maximum amount that I am willing to pay for a pair of jeans, but seem to be very interesting to me.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The color on those pics isn't really good. There are more brownish in reality from what I know.

I often said, that I liked the first S5000KA better. 17oz and a more interesting texture of the denim.
But I don't want to stop you from buying

[Jord666]

Just ordered myself some of these http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-s3000vx24oz-sg/

I have received an email from 2nd confirming the order and my instructions to shorten the leg (I think) if anyone knows of a decent translator from Japanese to English could you please let me know, Google Translator just isn't good enough.

Thanks again for the advice beautiful_FrEaK!
