I'm assuming you mean the 710, Samurai doesn't have a 700 model. If you are a 30 in Weird Guys, you will probably be a 32 in the 710, depending on how the Weird Guys fit you right now and how you want the Sams to fit. Be aware that the 710 is a looser cut than the Weird Guys, my sizing advice is based on getting the waist to fit you properly. If you want to size down for a slimmer fit, that should be difficult but possible.

yup. what commodore said. you will be a 31 or 32 depending on the fit you want. what i would do is measure your n&f wgs (assuming you like the fit - and using the big method) and use that as a starting point. a size 31 710xx raw will measure ~ 32" in the waist. if you do a cold wash they will shrink down to a 31 in the waist. if you do a hot wash you can get them down to 30.5-30.75 in the waist. you will get anywhere from 1" to 1.5" in stretching once they settle. so, say you go with a size 31 and you do a hot wash they will likely rest at 32" - 32.25" inch in the waist after they rest and you stretch them out. rarely will you find your samurai's to stretch beyond their raw measurement (unless you really went down several sizes) so keep that in mind as well. in both of my pairs i got about 1/2 shrinkage in all of the other areas except the inseam and waist. you need to pay special attention to the upper-thigh measurement on the 710xx too. have fun and enjoy ... the 710xx is one of the most amazing jeans your ass will ever be in.

it's been raining here too, I love it when it rains in So Cal, that's when the peacoat comes out and puts the new LL Beans to use. Wish it snowed here...then again i've never experienced snow which leads me to believe that I would wear the magic underwear too haha

There is only one retailer for Samurai in the US, and like whatever123 said, they are in NYC. I'm sure there are some people in SoCal willing to sell you a pair at a lower-than-retail price if you don't mind pre-owned denim, though.

Trust me, if you've lived where it snows before, you wouldn't be saying that. Snow is the thing I miss least about living in NYC, and we didn't even get much there.

Could someone help clarify something for me, what's the difference between these three cuts.

S5000

S0500

S510

If I found the S0500 to be to low rise for me, would I like the S5000, or is the rise similar, and I should go with S510/Regular Straight Fit.

Thanks for the help!
