@flannel-slut that's wild, I love it! I need a Samurai flannel some time soon, always eyeing them up on Rivet and Hide...

I dig it, man. Psychedelic vibes without being overtly retro.

@jfk1117 thanks man!
@T4920 appreciate it!! Edema Ruh garb for sure
@popvulture thanks bud… little bit of grooviness never hurt -
@flannel-slut I instantly thought traveling hippy circus vibes, or Moroccan hashish den sofas...
You hit the nail on the head with the Ruh reference though, bravo!

To do my part in enabling around here; if interested in buying, I purchased through Cultizm at a solid price point (no shipping or customs fees). they were fully stocked outside of small a few weeks ago.

@T4920 Maracan hashish den sofa is fantastic
-
@flannel-slut crazy, I got slapped with heavy fees buying some RGT from Cultizm a few years back... Damn Brexit...

Loool Edema Ruh — hell yes! You can pin your pipes on the collar.

Hey, anyone have any experience with the S3000? Specifically the tag size 36?
Given the different measuring methods it's a little tricky drilling down exactly how they size up (+1 to the iron heart crew for being great with this). I reached out to a few vendors in Japan but I've only had the approx measurements on the Samurai site.
The Self Edge measurements look perfect (rise: 12.75, thigh: 14, knee 10.25). But, their measurements differ from everywhere else. Including Samurai.
I have some 510HX but they're a little too slim for my liking and the rise a little too low (12). So the S3000's in theory make sense. Just looking for a little more clarity before I pull the trigger.

I purchased a pair of s3000 zero bushido last year in tag 35. For reference I’m a tag 35 in IH-888s. The 3000 got returned almost immediately. They weren’t just relaxed, but felt enormous at the hip and leg. I returned for the s510 Cho kiwami. I tossed them into a presoak but haven’t worn much, but they are less relaxed and more of a classic straight than the s3000. -
My understanding of the S3000 is that they’re a wide straight leg rather than a wide leg. But, I guess body type is the deciding factor. I’ve seen them look big and baggie and more normal straight. Self edge model for instance makes them look like a normal straight.
My 510 36 are:
9.5
8.5 openingWhich is pretty narrow for me (6’4, 100KG)
3000’s are approx:
10.25 knee
9 openingSo theres still a decent taper from the knee to the hem. According to self edge anyway.
Do you have any old measurements from the s3000? Did you get one wash or raw?
-
@twotouches I went with the one wash when I tried the s3000. Don’t have the measurements but they were practically falling off my body.
I’m 6’2” and 205lb - sorry for freedom units.
Waist is a 34.5-35”
Thigh is where I care about my measurements the most - my thighs are about 25-26” depending on season. The s3000 I considered a baggy fit. -
May I ask what the measurement of the thigh, knee and hem of your favorite pair of straight jeans are (or what you aim for), please? Just trying to figure out what your baggy is
Also, would you say the measurements here were about right for your experience with the 35? They are from the Samurai site.
Waist, thigh, knee, inseam, hem
Also thanks for helping me figure this out!
-
This is how my 510HX fit. Not bad but theres a little pinch at the rise on my inside thighs that irritates me. It'll maybe loosen up with more wear. And, for everyday I'd prefer a little roomier knee and slightly wider hem.
For reference tag size 36 with 2 inches taken out of the waist

Regarding the waist, Samurai measures the circumference inside the waist. Also they measure the thighs differently (I think from the edge of the crotch to the side seam)

@twotouches I’ll try to take measurements/pics tomorrow if I get a chance.

Samurai S510xx Lot 35 Tag 35w
I presoaked these when I got them as they were extremely stiff regardless of the one wash.
Just measured the thigh Ironheart style and it measures 13.6”.
Waist measured flat across Ih way - 17” (34” on the money)
Ironheart 888-21 I’ve worn since 10/16/23 and just tub washed and air dried. Tag 35
Thigh measured IH style - 13.25”
Waist 34”
And a comparison of the two fabrics with direct sun light on them indoor
As for measurements - I ordered from a US retailer after they directed me to measure my best fitting denim their way (IH way is not followed by most US retailers unless they specify it I have found)
With that - I found that the 510xx is most similar to the Levi’s 501 cuts I remember. The leg rise is mid-high and sits just between natural waist and hips on me. Same spot my 888 hit. The thigh is clearly wider while there is no taper from thigh to ankle. I bought these specifically because I wanted a slightly more relaxed fitting heavy denim and IH 888 is the only cut that works for me out of their standard fits
