chcccccccc

could you post pics + measurements of your tim coppens varsity please. thanks. 

Hey guys, looking to get a pair of XX-013. Are BiG and PBJ the only retailers for this model? And-Japan, Take5 and Okayama Denim don't sell this model, BiG is out of size 30 and 31, and PBJ doesn't ship internationally.

Moreover, the measurements on the PBJ site of XX-013 differs slightly from the XX-013 measurements on BiG. It matches closer to the O/W measurements of BiG. I assume its just slight differences in the way of measuring? The model is listed as "XX-013 Shrunk To Fit". At first I thought it was a typo and they meant shrink to fit i.e. raw, but due to the measurements I guess they mean its already been shrunk i.e. one wash???

The leather patch of the XX-013 differs on the BiG website and the PBJ website as well. Are they the same models then? Might try get it through proxy if I have no other options and don't wanna fuck up the sizing. Also... does O/W mess with the fading? Is it generally better to go raw? Or is there no real difference? I remember on the Skulls thread Kiya said one wash process Skull jeans go through really weakens the denim; I'm not sure about the one wash process of PBJ denim.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

Hey guys, thinking of getting the 5010s. Wore APCs for almost 2 years and wanna move onto better stuff.

My PS is tagged 28 and measures 33 with a front rise of 9. The 5010s of size 29 and 30 have a higher rise of 9.5 according to the one wash chart of BiG so I assume the waist can be smaller than 33 as my PS buttons at the hipbones instead of on the hipbones.

The raw size 30 seems to be a good fit around the waist, with 32.5 raw, taking into account 3.5% shrinkage = 31.4 but then the measurements of the leg is a bit too big for me. The legs of the size 29s are great but will the waist be too small for me? The waist of size 29s are raw 32 with shrinkage = 30.9. I read somewhere raw denim will usually stretch back to the original unwashed size. Is this true of skull denim as well? If so, will the waist stretch past the unwashed size? Basically TLDR: do skulls stretch alot?

Moreover, I'm trying to decide between skulls 5010 and somet 008. Does anyone have experience with both brands? Skull denim seems to fade better from pics, but the fit of somets seem better...

Want to get a pair of low rise slim fit. Only had APC PS before, want to move into higher tier stuff. Trying to decide between the Somet 008 or Skulls 5010.

Somet 008: I'm used low rise, around 9, but in my size (29) the Somet's rise will be 8.25. Too low? Also, there aren't that many fade pics of Somets, so its hard to judge whether dem fadez will be nice.

Skulls 5010: We all know that Skulls' reputation tanked after Self Edge dropped them, but people say that its fine, SE 'slander' etc. However, Skulls still have a reputation for having bad construction so idk. The fades on skulls are great though from what I've seen.

Comments? Or are there any other models from other brands that I've missed out? I looked at PBJ XX013 but the rise is abit too high for my liking.
