man, if anyone happens across a pair of the s710 balck hawks that already sold out at BiG in a size 30, or has one that didnt work out for them please PM me. Went to purchase this morning and already sold out.
-
^this
the stock isn't updated yet. But to make sure just write Gordon an email
-
They were up last night, unless that was a mistake
-
Disregard. Gordon just got ahold of me
-
Sold out of the Black Hawk AND Red Hawk in less than a day and removed from the site while the Black Shadow is still available and even the Blue Shadow (sold out) is still listed?…I really doubt that
-
Yeah, they had temporarily taken them down.
-
I tried searching for what Red Hawk was after seeing the BiG pic on IG. Couldn't find anything. I was curious myself.
-
No they both have BLACK warp, And WHITE weft
red hawk has yellow and orange accent stitching. Black hawk has all black accents… On similar note, Im having difficulty understanding the difference in these and the black knights.. Look to be nearly identical with exception of patch and buttons.... The thigh measuremetn looks about 1/4 ' larger than my lot 15 s710xx so am debating these... was thinking they would b a bit slimmer than they are showing up on the site even when figuring post soak -
Also copper versus black hardware
-
the Black Hawk are really not very different to the Black Knight. But why should they? The Black Knight is sold out and sold well. See it as a modified restock
-
Is the 19 oz regular straight fit the same as the 510xx? Looks to be the sane but just not labeled as such… Looking for a cut similar to the 634 in the 19 oz Sammie denim ( my favorite of the Sam denim).
-
yep, BiG labels the 510 as such.
From what I heard/know the S5000 cut is more similar to the 634 cut -
i completely forgot I had an anniversary s5000vx, guess thats happens sometimes
until posting this this morning. I do like that 19 oz fabric a whole lot though.. -
yeah the 19oz denim has an amazing fading potential! and I like the greyish look it gets when worn and faded a lot. What I don't like that ´much on my pair of 710, the white weft is very apparant, making te denim lighter looking.
-
I've seen several pairs that I thought the same about I'm not sure if that's from the lot of that particular years denim or what, as I'm just really beginning to learn about samurai, their fabric took some getting used to after being with IH, flathead, and my very first pair of "nice" denim 3sixteens. I like my 710 but they just don't work with my everyday boots, really thinking about maybe picking up a 510 in the 19 oz.
Also and on a different but related note, after several pair of 25oz IH and a couple. 23 oz I'm starting to feel like the heavier denim is cool but as far as being universally versatile I think the 19 oz samurai or even the 21 oz is about as heavy as I am comfortable with before I start noticing that the denim just doesn't and never will drape completely correct with how these "traditional" based cuts should. Primarily I notice the "heavy" gathering at my knees much worse than allowing the excess to settle near the ankle where it should… This aspect is pushing me more to these mid heavyweights. This view would probably be considered an "unpopular opinion" but just something I've noticed as my collection grows in variety.
