What's the fit of these jeans? I've always thought Warehouse looked pretty awesome and the texture of that denim looks great.

...

I could BARELY button them all the way in the store, did a cold soak, and a hot soak and tumble dry last night, lost an inch in the inseam, waist is fine. basically my rule for samurai is slim fit = size down 2.


Seriously? These are STF right? And you could barely do them up in store? I know what you're doing with your jeans and all, and Sammies do stretch, but that just sounds torturous to me. They look great though, I really wanted a pair of the BKs.

I need to wear my S5000BKs more, but I sized them like you did, though not on purpose, and they're a bit too tight, even after over a year.

Love that FH tee too, I wish Kiya would put up the plain FH loop wheeled tees online

They're a lot like the Skull fit. Somewhere between the 5507 and 5010 cut. Slimmer than 5507, but not tight like the 5010. Slim top block, but not tight like the Skull. Slim tapered leg. Overall a slim fit but 'slim' the way you imagine a good, non-statement 'basic' pair of jeans should be (but with the stealth factor of amazing denim). Denim just has the craziest personality. It's a bit like the PBK slub, but less extreme.

Oh, I don't doubt your expertise or experience in the denims. Your results speak for themselves. How do you like the fit on them? Compared to your tapered S5000BKs?

These jeans are ******* great. They're perfect on me because I have a bigger top block and waist but wanted a slim straight cut, and they fade so well. Here's a fit pic of mine, probably 5 months in (looking into the sun at 6AM)...

I was always scared to check this thread but thankfully there are a lot less ass and crotch shots then I thought there was going to be.
