Samurai S5000VX21 4-year update.

It's been about 2-3 years since my last update (June and January 2011).  I haven't worn them that much in the past year for a few reasons - not appropriate for work and also because I gained some weight last year.  Now that the holidays are upon us and I've dropped my waist size back down to 32 and half of HR just got let go, I started wearing them to work again.  

You can see the creases where I cuff the jeans when I'm at home and not wearing boots.  I'm trying to minimize the wear at the back of the leg opening.

In the front-view picture, the twist in the legs are a little more apparent.  The denim twists in the same direction (to the right) as the material shrinks.  

Just repaired the back pocket again. Hard to see, but there's a fresh piece of denim inside the asshole.  The seams on the sides of the coin pocket have burst.  

I'm thinking of buying a new pair of jeans this new year - definitely want to stick with Samurai, maybe in a more relaxed fit, though.  

Happy New Year everyone.
