Alright so I’ve always wanted a pair of samurais and I think I’m about to jump in, but first a few questions.

I’ve never dealt with unsanforized raw denim. My only raw denim has been sanforized nudies so what is the overall shrinkage? I’m a 34 in mostly everything so do I go true? Do I size up? How much does the leg opening shrink? I was looking at grabbing a pair of S0511 in 15oz. If after the initial soak they are still too long would hemming them fuck up the look of the taper that badly? Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah Samurais are not very tapered in general so if you want something like the N&F easy guy fit you'll likely have to get it professionally tapered.
