i prefer something subtle like 5ep's back pocket stitching over no stitching, at all...and of course, the levi's (and repro variants) accruate is awesome, too...but, i agree...the imperial stitching is straight-out gaudy...a complete deal-breaker for me...worse than nudie, i think

^ Goddamnit. If only Samurai could make a comfortable 13 oz. None of this 15-21 oz swamp ass and balls ****

If only Samurai fit better :p Well, the 710 cut may be nice but the S5000 gets the thumb down from me. Maybe I needed to size down a couple.

^ Yeah it all depends. I bought a 32 in the USA model and that's my usual size. Samurai fits me really well. It's a shame I can't handle them. I heat up so quickly. Even that Samurai 15 oz still felt like 17 or something. Kicking mules feel so much lighter and they're apparently an ounce lighter than the USA.

Yeah. I actually had my S5000BK tapered a bit, but the upper thighs and hip flare is still a bit too much for me. Probably make for a nice casualish jean, probably have to look elsewhere if I ever want a pair of blacks that I can dress up.

My J. Lindenberg Black "jay" fit jeans seem like they'd dress up well. Kinda look like the denim on the black raw apcs or the black raw diors but fit pretty much just like new standards but with a bit of stretch so the thighs don't get baggy. Just a fyi in case you were looking for similar black jeans.

I've heard people sizing down 2 on s5000 and sometimes s0500s. Some still size down 1 on the s710s

It all depends on the production. The last two 710 lots were so fucked in sizing. The first of these two lots were 2 sizes bigger in the waist than tagged. The 2nd of these lots was true to size. It's a pain ********** to preorder that **** and then have something too small for you arrive at your doorstep.

I went true to size and the waist is good, I can't imagine how terrible it'd be if I sized down 2 :p I guess that could have gotten rid of the hip flare though. Anyway, I'll probably just pick up a pair of Dior 21cm eventually and keep those dark, then beat the crap out of the 5000BKs since they fade so nice.

I have two pairs of jeans sitting in my closet that I wear right now. Nothing else. Acne Moc Favourite/Acne Moc raw : p Love the fit. Don't need 12 pairs of raw jeans either.

Is it just the angle, or are the jeans short and squat like that? On the other hand, they look awesome.
