@americanathreads I would recommend just wearing them. I also bought a one-washed pair and have about 5 days of yard work wear so far and they're breaking in nicely.
Did you go TTS?Same experience with my pair of the one-wash. My pair had an abnormally tighter waist than it should have, but a couple of wears in and it's giving a little. Rest of the fit is on the baggier side, aside from the waist. I went 36 based on posted measurements, I usually wear a 35-35.5, these felt like they were around a 34.7. Looking forward to breaking them in.

Almost all Sammy today. Shirt, belt, jeans.
I am in love with the jeans, I love the shade, the slub the relaxed high rise fit and some nice little Samurai touches with the buttons and selvedge id.

Got a 710X19ozII in Samurais flagship store in Osaka.

Hey, @worn2fade I have a somewhat random request: can you measure the length of the fly on your new wide jeans? Not the front rise, the actual fly. The measurements on these are very similar to a pair of Polar big boy skate jeans that I love, but I think the rise may not actually be comparable because of the construction. Thanks in advance!
-
@sabergirl by fly do you mean top button to bottom button?
-
@worn2fade pretty much just for the top button to the bottom of the fly where the jeans are sewn together. Like this pic of my 463 which have a fly less than 8” long.
-
@sabergirl sorry for late response!
Looks like the measurement you’re requesting is right at 9.5”
For reference as well, the front rise measures 13.25”
Also keep in mind, when new, the rise was 13.5”, I hot soaked and washed for “shrinkage.”

Does anyone have experience with samurai’s tropical weather fabric? I’m looking at the type iii jacket they made out of it but they also made shirts.

I’d love to get your opinion!

Ai Plus
-
Thank you for doing that, @worn2fade, I appreciate it!
That Ai denim is really nice, @flannel-slut . I had a natural indigo pair that I had to move on because I wasn’t getting along with the fit, but it sure is pretty.

I am loving my S510XX25OZ-SPs, a very comfortable fit. I've been wearing mine for about a month.
Battled with my 25 oz, won the war!

@worn2fade Yes. Fabric is lovely but the dye takes to it slightly differently across the face - I have an olive shirt and its slightly lighter where the fabric is slubbier. It kind of looks spotty at first. This seems to fade.
I think the fabric is better in lighter colors where this is less noticable.

@cyclops waist was very tight on my tag 36s, they measured 34.8, was supposed to be around 35.5. They seem to be stretching out a bit but I only have half a dozen wears on them.
-
@rasta haha hmmm thanks for the input, much appreciated.
Dang, i normally go 32.5 as a baseline where its comfy and fitted, i saw one place for a tag 32 its measuring 31.89 (81cm), so...damn. i think i just need to walk away and not take the risk....its hard though haha

Is it actually a tropical weather kind of fabric? Is it the first shirt you’d grab if temps are high?
