thanks guys...

[middle_earth]

my Sd-103 's leather patch is all fucked up.... shrinked to a mini and deformed leather patch and Also cracked when i tried to stretch them back out... Should I just remove the leather patch? its shrinked so much I know have a mini U shape on my waist band area where the patch is...

anyway i can fix this?

[middle_earth]

My leather patch crackes into pieces so I took it off already.

Now my problem is, after the hot soak, I still have alot of room in the thigh area and the legs, and the back rise as well.. Giving me those hip flares... Should I tailor them to fit my legs or just leave them? also have the same problem with my other jeans cuz' I'm a short guy with little legs... suggestions?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

a hot wash should let them shrink more. Dunno if it's enough shrinkage after the wash so the tailor could be the last option

i swear by raw african shea butter on my leather patches. on my FC and sams you can't read the patches, buy i've machine dried them like 5 times each and i always butter em' up real good after a wash, but esp. if im going to put them in the drier. shea makes the patch darker, and keeps it nice and supple. i just rub it in real good with my thumbs while its still wet,and after i get them out the drier. the patch hasn't shriveled up either

[chantheman]

what are they? is this the 30 year anniversary edition i've been waiting to see? could this finally be it? chan, help!

[iamstarwars]

Aren't these one of the Christmas models from a few years ago? I think I remember seeing this patch on a pair of heavy denim.

I believe these are the 30th anniversary jeans:

edit: actually, I doubt they are a Christmas model. Probably just another sort of special edition.

thanx starwars, i should've known better.

LFC4ever, depending on where you live some asshole(or like i say whole-ass) is gonna see you with those on and accuse you of wearing fake evisu. bet on it. the arcs are lovely, very kamome-like.

you can alter them but be sure to use a good tailor. i used denim doctors in LA for my SDA's and they turned out perfectly. but now they are up for sale in the supermarket cuz i'm broke.

[middle_earth]

I'm deciding to sell these SD-103 size 28. up at the SUperMarket along with my other collection which are Brand new or almost new denim which are too big for me too.

Thread Title: Skull 5010 size 28

SD-103 going for $215 shipping included NOTe: leather patch has been removed due to the shrinkage post a hot -warm soak, it cracked so i took that off. Other than that the jeans are almost new just worn around the house a few times

got a few pairs of small size jeans momo G003 , G004 size 26 momo -1203UP size 28, Skull Linda size 0, and Flat head s5001 size 28

let me know if you're interested. photos will be posted in a a couple hours. Charging my camera up now

[middle_earth]

sorry.. In the supermarket it is now. N' off this thread

[chantheman]

that's what's up cheep, it's good to see you in a really slow fading jean. you'll do them justice.

[beatle]

glad they made it.....fit's perfect, as always*******

[SLAB]

is downsizing a definite no-go for a pair of SA 103's?

[cheapmuthafukr]

yeah, my 33s are smaller than my 32 okinawas

[Bigyen]

funny, cause my s0500's (33) are slimmer than my 103's (32)

[hypernoob]

sorry for the crappy phonecam pic, but at least you guys get the idea how the fit is...

SDA 203RD

[morse9443]

? - my 36 103's are way tighter (knee up) than my 36 S0500's and 710's.

[SLAB]

I need to stretch them 1" to 1.5" in the waist area, sounds possible? I remember people saying these dont stretch at all...

[morse9443]

^^mine arrived at 37, shrank to 36 after soak, and have now stretched back to 37. Only fluctuates about an inch.

[rellabgib3]

pretty painful in my opinion...i'd stay tts...esp the waist.

[sell veg]

i'd say your 103s aren't done shrinking then. my 32 103s (washed at least 5-7 times) are quite a bit smaller than my 31 500s (hot washed and dried).

[Bigyen]

i did 3 initial hot soaks and 3 hand washes since.

will post pics of both fits when they get back from DDoctors, today.
