Somet Slim Vs. Skull 5010xx

[startmeup]

own-magazine.com/store has skulls and somets, and i was wondering which is a slimmer cut, the slim somets or the 5010xxs.

i don't think anyone on this board has the somet slims.

but if they're slimmer than the regular fit...jeez, thats some level 6 ball separation there.

I dont have either but id be cautious of the somet slims, they have that weird gusset double inseam design.

you should mail the guys behind own-magazine, they might be able to help!

Care to explain?

Darts in the legs near the inseam that cause it to slim down. It's the same kind of stitching that Dior jeans have on the back pockets, though they don't serve as much of an obvious purpose as much as they are an extra bell or whistle.

The measurements for Somets are on the own-mag site, and the measurements for the Skulls have been posted here several times i think...

The darts on the Somets look to be there for some sort of shaping in the thigh rather than slimness. Strange, I'm kinda iffy on them...

I'm looking for skinny raw jeans again too, up in the air about Somets, Skulls, New Cures, PBJ XX005's, etc. The Skulls are cool but a bit too rock n roll for me, and personally the red tab bothers me. I actually just want another pair of Diors, but this is what I'd pay for these jeans, roughly:

Diors: $400

New Cures: $220

Somet: $190

Skull: $150

PBJ: $150

basically I can buy 2 or 3 pair of Japanese jeans for what Diors cost me, but not of them are what I'm looking for in terms of look...

dismal, i didn't see Julian Red in that list...why not a pair of calis? or hobokens

oh, thanks whiskey, yeah, im sure they are strong, somet look like a quality company, that is a high stress area on tight jeans though.

Yeah, I had once thought of these, but they'd be super hard to get for me, unless they sell them someplace in Tokyo? I can buy Dior and APC locally (subject to the local super high import taxes, and shit selection), and that's it. I have a lady friend who is a flight attendant and flies to and from Tokyo almost everyday or every other day, where she's originally from, so getting her to get me any of the Japanese denims is pretty easy too. The local currency vs. the yen right now is incredible and most Japanese jeans in question are like $150 for me.

The European brands I can get would be the bigger ones, acne, nudie of course, and now april 77.

I probably sound like Asterix now but I just can't find another pair of jeans that has the higher rise/boxy crotch X super slim hem like a Dior, yet I don't want to buy another pair of Dior.

Also, it's probably blasphemous, but I plan to wear these with a bit nicer shoes/tops, so I would actually prefer the look of singed, flat denim with a sheen like APC or Dior, over the slubby denim for these.
