They arrived within a week or so. I didnt get charged customs, but I did ask for my item to be marked down in price, and as a gift.

Tigger -Thats where I got mine from. I was also planning to stack them, but they'd look much better with less leg length.

Also, the hem on skulls is quite thin compared with other jeans, which might make it less, or possibly not noticeable.

Cameland -Could you elaborate on those techniques please?

Thanks

So after my 5010 6x6 havent shrunk in leg length, I have decided to ge them hemmed up to a 34" leg (currently 37).

How much difference will it make to the way the hem wears, and the roping effect if I get them hemmed, rather than chainstitched?

-I dont want to pay to ship them from the UK to the USA to get them chainstitched.

I'm sure Gem_Art posted a while back with 6x6's and said he had them hemmed (not chainstitched) -If you're still around, how are your hems looking now?

Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.

Here are my skull S5010XX 6x6 after two hot soaks. I did not notice any considerable shrinkage in the waste or length.. Tell me what you think of the fit! I will probably send them back to BIG to get hemmed!

I'm facing the same decision, although BIG is not in the same country as me (I'm in the UK), so might have them hemmed somehwere that doesnt chainstitch -although I am concerned this might end up puting me off them if the job's not good enough.

I'm just stacking mine at present, as I'm not too big a fan of cuffs.

It just boils down to whether or not YOU like them cuffed, or stacked, and if the answer to that is "no", then send em to BIG.

-BTW, Edmond "non wash 7 months treated like a baby" -If you had a baby and didnt wash him/ her for 7 months, you'd be in trouble.

So even if I don't wear my jeans too tight I should go two sizes down? I feel like they might be too tight, even after stretching out. In the waist, but mostly in the leg. I don't want them to be too too tight in the legs. Still go with the 28s though, ya think?

If you're looking for someone else's opinion, then yes. I sized down 3. If you're still not sure, then take a look at the actual measurements on another thread.

Guys

Just a bit of positive feedback here, I ordered some PRPS jeans from Newton, to the Uk.

They came (from Japan) within 3 days, and no customs hits. The guy Ideal with there (Takashi) answers emails very promptly -and his English is much better than my Japanese!

Order in confidence!

Thanks for the responses, so to double-check, and be more specific...

Am I correct in thinking that each waist size has one set leg length, ie a 34" waist is always a 33" leg?

Hi, do they come in a standard leg length, or various lengths?

-I thought they only came in 33", but have heard a tale to the contrary.

Thanks for any help -I'm buying a few pairs online and I need to make sure.

So you can confirm autenticity then.

Where are you based, and did you need to pay customs?

Hi

-Has anyone here ordered from Newton Store before, and can confirm authenticity and good customer service?

Thanks
