like I said on MN, just ask bears. But there are cheaper options for Samurai jeans. Here's a fit of the S0510XX66II (and what I wear today)

yep it's 15oz denim. But not the Texas Cotton denim. It's the 15oz denim Samurai used before the Texas Cotton one. The pair is from Lot.7

Would anyone be interested in trading a 34W pair of Samurais for my 32W pair (S0510WX, Lot 9, 19oz I believe)? I bought them from Self Edge during the Levi's lawsuit, even though I knew a 32 was going to be too small. I convinced myself that they would stretch enough, but after just 8 or 10 wears, I realized it wasn't going to happen. So I put them away in a drawer just in case some future version of me started running marathons and lost 20 lbs. But now I have a baby and a tenure deadline coming up, and the marathon-running version of me is looking farther and farther away. I'm hoping to find someone in the opposition position - someone with a pair of 34W who wishes he'd sized down to a 32W. They don't have to be the same model (although the 510 fit would work best) - I just want a pair of Samurais that fit! (I suppose I'd be willing to sell them, but I'd much, much rather trade. I probably wouldn't sell them for less than $250 - enough to cover most of a pair of Strongholds from Context.) Measurements: Waist - 16.5" across Ineam - 36" Front rise - 10.5" Hem - 8.5"

I have a size 34 19 oz. pair of S0510s that I'd be willing to trade for your 32s. Only thing is, they have a short inseam. How long of an inseam do you need?

My 710's arrived yesterday. Sized up 1 or .5

Didn't shrink as much as I wanted em too so I soaked again and machine dried.
Shrank like crazy and now the fit is perfect. They look real slim in these pics because I wore them damp.

awesome fits banis and airfred . the 710 cut is so awesome! it takes a coupe washes to get most of the shrinkage out of the way with the 710s, at least in my experience. they look good and should turn out great.
