… and finally Samurai. All raw, soaked, worn and washed cold.

Fit pics from august before initial soak. Pardon the bad quality.

[BD81]

For some reason that is the only pic i am able to upload?

Mine is about the same but opposite leg

[BD81]

Sorry for all the posts, I have been trying to upload my original fit fics pre soak…apparantly there is a problem with my upload. Here are a few from today at 5 months, 1 hot soak, 0 washes.

Get a pair of IH-666-XHS. You'll have a similar fit, some kick ass denim that wears in beautifully, better construction all over, and never have to worry about leg twist.

I think the 666 will be too snug in the thigh. I have actually had my eye on the 888 for a while now. I love the fit of these 510s except i find the leg opening a touch wide.

[neph93]

888 is a very versatile cut. After a lot of experimenting and a couple of wrong moves it has become “my cut”.

[BD81]

Nice! Did you go TTS ?

[neph93]

I size down one. The waist sits high and I’m narrower there. The thigh is generous enough for it not to be a problem.

I am waiting for my pre-ordered s710xx 19oz from denimio, can't wait 

[Crit_Obs]

How are the IH better constructed? I know about the difference between full cotton stitching and poly-cotton but I assume there must be something else?

I'm a noob and cannot see how my IH are better constructed than my Samurais, I'm probably missing out.

Cool beans, nice to see an actual Samurai-related post in the Samurai thread for a change.

The S710 is the all time greatest cut ever for me, hope you find it to your liking.

i am noob too but i think that both Samurai and IH are very high end quality. I have read that Samurais are a bit slubbier but that is just personal taste IMHO

Polycotton stitching for starters.

Dont get me wrong I love my 25oz 510s. Like i said earlier only issue was leg twist and broken threads. Next pair is def going to be IH

Samurai churn out a number of different fabrics, all of them unsanforized, most on the heavier side, some slubbier than others.

@beautiful_FrEaK owns or has owned probably a few pairs in each Samurai denim and could no doubt explain the minute differences between them, but I believe learning about the 19oz first-hand will be the most rewarding experience for you for now.
