from Lot.14 on, all pairs that had yellow stitching in the past will carry those new ones. So, S0500XX, S0510XX, S5000VX, S510XX21oz, S5000VX21oz and so on

Can't tell you exactly. The S710XX for example is sold out even at Samurai at the moment. So what they produce now is of course Lot.14 (14th year that Samurai Jeans is operating). Those will come end of February. Of course S710XX will still have the black arcs.
In conclusion, I think Samurai ist starting to produce pairs with the "new" arcs but you should talk to your dealer what he has in stock. Most likely there's still a lot of Lot.13 around.

I am the only one that buy samurai without arcs+tabs?

I love the samurai denim, fit, and construction, but think the arcs are super hideous and the tab looks a little amateur hour for me...

I mostly agree with ClambakeSkate.

Though I have come round to the tab, and quite like it now, I think the arcs actually look bad, being as they are slightly asymmetrical and almost a parody of Levis.

That's why the 710s appealed to me, lack of the (yellow) arcs, and I could live with the tab.

well the arcs are indicated to be a paraody of Levi's. That's (nearly) all what those Japanese repros are about . Samurai has one of the nicest arcs, IMO. The old ones.

I think because the lines are crossing now, it's not affected by the lawsuit anymore. SDA did it the same way.
I liked the red tab before Lot.11 better. Just plain white lettering not those reflecting silver ones. But oh well.

Now it either the S5000VX24oz or the AI model.
