      yap, indeed…They are terrific. I cannot compare them to the ai-denim - I can only say that the indigo has a purple hue to it - combined with the brownish weft this is one of the most special denim I have ever seen..

      I have always been very fond of Samurai jeans and denim - the 17oz on these are rock solid. Samurai denim always tends to feel a little heavier / rough compared to many other denim's in the same weight category due to the shorter cotton fibers that Mr. Nogami obviously prefers.

            If you're getting a pair of Sam's, go balls out with the sg-t's.  Their other models are good if you like slubby jeans(I do).  I had a pair of 0500xx, good stuff.

              Just received my S5000GX-H today and these are truely amazing. My true waist size is 34 and I sized down one size for these, but now I'm slightly worried that these won't fit me at all post- soak/wash, does anyone know how much these will shrink and subsequently how much these will stretch with continous wear (they do look to have a propensity to stretch a lot having walked around with them in raw state)? I have no previous experience with Samurai at all, any help/advise is much appreciated. Thanks.

                If you are able to button them up pre soak - they'll fit. Tight….but the pain will cease..

                    I'm able to stick my arm into them while being buttoned up so I guess I'll be fine then, gonna give them a soak, thanks.

                        Yeah - that doesn't sound too good. I'd downsize… At least 1 size...

                          OH MY! i have to agree with seul and beats, i do think you sized a bit too high up. i havent been following Sams as much recently, but ideally tts is where you'd ideally want to be around pre-soak and then they be nice and tight once they shrink down a bit. but an entire arm… unless you are going for a super 'comfy' fit, i think they are for sure too big. see if you can exchange them for a smaller size. i'm guessing you ordered via rakuten?

                            Wait! If you can fit your arm into the waist, they are way too big for you.  If you mean fingers, it should be ok, but not the arm….and you have already sized 1 down??......

                              Yes, I have already sized down one size to a 33. I measure the raw state waist as 87cm which is what the sizing chart at BIG reads for a size 33, and my true waist size is just that: 87cm. Wait a minute: should I size down from the prewash measurements? Thus get a size 32? I'm feeling slightly confused at the moment LOL  😞

                                Yep, ordered them via 2nd (to have the red tab and hidden arcuates) so I guess an exchange is out of the question.

                                  I disagree with almost everyone. If your TTS is a W34 and you already sized down one, they should be good. I was able to stick my arm down the WT's and they were a size smaller than my TTS. You should be fine after the soak unless you are going for that girlie shin tight look? All the speculation could end if you just posted a fit pic… 😉
