      For 24 oz. nerk, I use XE for foreign conversion and that was the US price it gave me for 68,000.00 Yen.
      I got my S5000VX 24 oz. from Blue and Green in NY so I'm hoping Gordon gets these in.
      If you're close to NYC go there and check out the store. 🙂

          Very heavy but I love them, I wore them for 7 months before the second wash and the fading is pretty good.
          I like this cut because it's more fitted in the seat and thighs, not familiar with the AI cut so I'm really looking
          forward to those.

            The 5000VX is my favourite Samurai cut too, great fitting, slimish cut.

              don't buy any jeans nerk, put the money away & appreciate the denim you have now.  when your current rotation is beat to sh!t invest in a new pair.

              although i have a stock pile of sh!t, if i could do it over i would buy less & appreciate more.  having too much stuff kind of makes you numb or desensitized to the beauty of the denim goods & the craftsmanship which goes into them.

              Perfectly put, Sir!

              I'm consistently puzzled by the number of people who appear to worship at the altar of "fecked" and yet admittedly buy more stuff than they could "feck" in a decade or six unless they employed a servant of similar build to do it for them (any job offers hereby considered…)

              Only addressing elephants in rooms and pulling combs... don't mean no harm, surely we can safely debate without tip-toeing too much?

              And whilst I'm making myself unpopular, what exactly does "badass" mean?

              Your friendly unreconstructed socialist with champagne tastes and white cider funds ( just realised that I may have to purloin yer tag line MM).

              Much love and respect to all (genuinely).

              Be reasonable, demand the impossible.

                This advice is the best you could give and quite wise, unfortunately, I am a sick person with impulse controll problems and buying shit makes me feel good(perceived) in reality your advice is how a normal person should live. Normal my be relative but "I ain't normal" either way

                Nerk from the looks of the Boots u have posted on ebay I'd say u are both sick and have great taste.

                  Question to all!! If you had a max of 600 dollars to spend on only 1 pair of jeans. OTHER THAN iron heart, because I have a few pairs already and wanna try something else, to mix it up..which pair would you buy??

                  😃 😃 😃  but possibly your size not left in stock…

                        Constanza, also very well put, indeed.

                        Badass, that'll be me even in god dang malljeans.  (well, really how I translate it is that they are trying to say to each other that they are tough looking, being really badass takes just more than clothes, even if they are IH. Usually this term is so hilarious in this contex here that it makes me laugh)

                        And we usually can debate pretty civilized. Sometimes younger folks just need their heads straightened.

                          Can't disagree with your sentiment Costanza, I think most times though the definition of "fecked" is in the eye of the beholder. I've been rotating the same 2 pairs of jeans for 18 months now, and they're still not "fecked" in my opinion, I see other guys who seriously feck their denim in 6 months.

                          For me, this should only apply to denim, and similar fabrics though. Most of my shirts and jackets I like to keep nice and crisp, because I really don't want to have to replace them, and in some cases because I can't replace them.

                            I like your thinking Costanza. I do think most people with runaway spending habits (not just on here) are doing themselves a disservice by not truly breaking their clothing in and revealing the true beauty of the fabrics and cutting. Specifically with IH, this stuff takes a while to yield best results and doesn't give it up easily like Samurai or TFH.

                            I'm not trying to 'feck' my clothing in the sense of reducing it to scraps in the shortest time possible. I want long wear from my garments - denim included - and believe in looking after it with simple common-sense maintenance so that what it reveals in time is how I move and live, not how quickly I can put a hole in the knee or back pocket.

                              I'm very picky. Takes me a while to find that one garment I truly wanna live in. Problem with IH is that they come up with a lot of these every fecking year…

                                Different topic.

                                With one wash jeans, who actually washes them and how are they washed/soaked/dryed, is there an industry standard..?

                                Also what's the point of one wash, why not just sell it raw

                                  make up your own answer, different companies will do it differently… some will be machine washed and tumble dried, some will be soaked in a stream by an artisan and hung dried, some may be done by the jean maker and some by the shop selling them, you'd have to ask the place you bought them from or go straight to the source to know for sure.

                                  the point is predictability in sizing, and saving you the trouble of having to do it yourself. a bit less risk, you buy a pair raw and soak them, you own them

                                        I'm quite tempted to be honest… I don't know about "ballsy" enough. I could get some of those silver tips for the collar of my 08 and pretend to be that fine comic creation The Preacher :).
