48 is a Euro size. Like a size 48 (38 US) suit. Equals size 32 in pants. The Japanese Diors (at least mine) were marked this way.

More pics to come.

He told me that as well, but I can't see myself getting the level of service from OWN that I got from Shinichi/FabFour. Besides, I got a non-standard item

I have size 48 21cm Japanese black raw Diors. I have worn the Diors for a while, but I can tell you these Skulls are much more fitted everywhere. To me, the details on the Skulls seem better. I do like the pocket detail on the Diors, but the top latch bugs me. Plus, mine are just about one or two sizes too big.

I still have the Skulls outside drying out right now. I'll put them back on again this afternoon and see how we are coming along.

Hap - I hope so. After ~5 hours of soak and a roll and towel dry, I can tell the waist has changed. They are outside drying a bit, though it is cool and rainy here.

Nemo - No. Get them to send you a measurement sheet, but these 5010s run very fitted.

More than 2. Check out the website. 5010xx are button fly, slim fit, lower rise.

Normally wear a 30 or 31. My best fitting jeans are 2 pair of Helmut Lang size 30.

Price wasn't too bad. Check out the different options on thier site. http://www.fabfour.co.jp Email them and Shinichi is very good to talk to - they will send you sizing charts for whichever ones you want. Tell him Bart sent you.

The jeans are in a hot soak in the tub for the next 4-5 hours. Soaked them for a few minutes, then replaced the water and turned them inside out.

Thanks guys! The fit seems a little odd, but we will see how the shrinking goes. I think it should work out okay, but I think the hip/waist ratio is gonna take some work to get right. Here is a self-taken side pic, you can kinda see how the butt is pretty fitted, but on the other pics, you can see the waist sticking out on the sides.

I wanted a lower rise, tighter fitting jean. I had come down to Dior and Skull, but I already have some Diors and like someting a little different. A little research on superfuture and wala! Skull sounded like what I needed. Shinichi went above and beyond for me. I ended up ordering the 5010xx in raw denim, not one wash like thet normally sell.

Delivery was quck, packaging was good. The denim and the details seem great on the jeans, though I am a newbie. The fit is......stiff. Hard to tell, but they are loose on the waist, tight on the @$$, and about right on the legs - though they are too long. However, I am gonna go ahead an soak them. Hopefully that will do the job. Here are a ton of pics for you.

Any thoughts on them?

I use a blue Prada one as my wallet. Good leather, you can see the outline of my credit card's numbers in it now.

What is yours, x? Looks like Chrome Hearts almost.

Blundstone 500 series boots

Varvatos no lace Cons

love the ion, i used to work for Cross, gave most of mine away (stupidly) to an ex

I have carried that one 3 years or so. Just convenient sitting in the front pocket.

Prada card holder or a stingray:

Ordered some Skull 5010xx. They are waiting on stock. Shinichi was FANTASTIC to deal with! Sent me measuring charts and sizing for a few different models. Also, I am going to get them unwashed, as opposed to the one wash state they are usually sold in.

TTT with some slight changes.

I have on my black 21cm Japan Diors today. I have had them probably a year, never washed, only hot soaked once. Haven't worn them that much and they don't have much wear. No pics, either, but not much to show.

41 is the neck size in cm. ~16"

Different collections were sized different, I think. I have a size 41 button up that fits great and a size L polo that fits great.

I have a pair of these in ostrich. I bought them in TX used, and they look pretty good. Mine have a low heel, so they are more comfortable and don't look so cowboy.

I love mine with the see through All Star sole. Mine are blue (navy) suede with no laces at all. Pinstriped on the inside.
