Samurai Jeans
-
Funny you should mention that; I just had the same observation while discussing some upcoming releases with Gordon at BiG. Makes me less interested in the heavier offerings from companies that really specialize in slubby, irregular denim.
-
You are quite late to the party We talked about it some posts ago. But I agree with you that the color on those pics isn't the best (or maybe it's really a shitty color). Let's wait how BiG captures the color.
oops, my bad, didnt catch the earlier posts. I fucking hate pink jeans, blue jeans are blue, period, with the exception of overdyed models… if not, they cant and should not be called jeans in my blue-jean-taliban opinion
-
^indeed they shouldn't be called jeans! jeans are meant to be made of denim. and denim is only denim if it is a twill weave with a blue warp and a white weft. so overdyed and all the colored weft jeans (which recently show up) aren't 'real' jeans.
but in the end…well...everyone has to decide on its ownjust colored cotton twill pants

0500's, stay true to size.
-
i don´t know if it´s the "widest" but i´d look into the s5000vx if i were you!…
-
0500's are wider, 5000's are reasonably slim for Samurai. Trust me, I own(ed) both at the same time, I kept the 5000's as the 0500 were a little wide for my taste.

Cheers for the speedy response
Any idea what size I'd need to go for?
Thanks again!
True to size in both the 0500 (wider) or the 5000's (slim straight). The 5000's are slimmer, but are far from a slim jean, they are my favourite cut of Samurai, very flattering in my opinion.
-
you want wide? go for S3000VX. also the 510 is a cut with wide legs
for comparison, check here:

i thought it was the other way aroung???…
5000 wider as 0500! -
5000 has a lower rise and is slimmer in the top block and thighs but with a straight leg.
The 0500 is more generous in the upper half and tapers. So if you downsize a bit, the 0500 can achieve a slimmer look, because you have a slimmer overall sihouette. A 5000vx downsized too much can look kinda bootcut-esque -
correct
-
yeah, correct regarding the leg opening. but as Jord666 wanted the widest leg overall, I still stand by my suggestion of S510 or S3000VX
yes there are even wider ones but those are a bit more special and more repro pairs.
-
correct
so the 5000 is wider (hem) as the 0500 if i read that right
Not according to BIG, the leg opening is the same in most sizes, and 0.5" larger in others for the 0500, which offers a wider overall fit through the leg than the 5000. Check for yourselves, honestly.
Also, my experience is that the same size 0500 fits wider than a 5000.
