Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

This has been a great week for Skull owners. I'm proud!

[sunkenshoes]

Does anyone got like a repair kit for their skulls? I think I once seen someone post a picture of it. One of my backpockets is coming undone and I can't find a matching thread for repair (and I'd rather have the original thread). I already send a message to the e-mail adress that's on the fabfour website, but after 4 days I still got no reply.

I've got one it consists of two different point threads (one for the seams and one for the pocket stitching etc.) and some special denim for crotch repairs. Check your PM's for the email address I used

[SLAB]

Gem_art; can you pm me the email address as well? much appreciated

Mine skulls 8 months, about 6 months actual wear. Gave them a wash over the weekend.

Would rep if I could. So this weekend was the first time you washed 'em ever?

I'm also wondering about most of you Skull 5010 owners...I think the consensus was to size up 1...I did that as well. Did any of you stay true to size, or even size down?

Mine are basically one size down, though the way I picked the size was to measure my waist and compare to fabfour's chart.

[Leonard Leroy]

true to size 29, but with what I had to do to get in them, most people would have sized up in my place. That seat man. It hurts.

[heBAY]

^^True...I can dig it. I wonder how anyone would be able to size down then. Shite.

Leonard, was that the first time you washed them?

[Leonard Leroy]

Yup. They just didn't feel sanitary at that point. Hah.

[SLAB]

mmm, real waist size is almost 31" but I managed to squeeze into a size 29. But then Skulls 5010 is worn lower on the waist, almost hips so I guess i sized down 1

[Junetastic]

I think I sized down 1 with my Skulls too. I had bruises on my hips for a week!

I stayed true to size on mine. Still hurt my hips for weeks.

[sunkenshoes]

Yeah, same thing here. I thought I was the only one. It's really weird though, cause they ain't like skin tight on my hips, I can easily fit in my thumb. Also, after like 40 days of wear, the 2nd button is still fucking killing me and my penis.

I went true to size. I'm not sure if it was a mistake though because they didn't hold their shape through the stretching process. They balloon out at the thighs and taper down awkwardly. Either I should have sized up 1, or its the result of wearing them wet in the seated position. I'm going try on a pair the next size up...

i believe all 5000XX, 5010XX 6x6, 5507XX 6x6 use the same 14.5oz denim

but 5010XX 6x6 and 5507XX 6x6 are sanforized, while 5000XX is shrink to fit

as far as i know... only 5001XX uses a different denim(14oz and unsanforized) than the other skulls

[Sauc3]

How many washes so far?

[Leonard Leroy]

one .......................

[heBAY]

I'm actually surprised your Skulls aren't more in shambles since you've only washed once over such a long period of time.

How do they skull 5010xx BLACK jeans fit. I am purchasing them soon and am unsure what size to get. I wear 33 occasionally size 32 should i go with the 33?

Go with the 33s.

[rollups]

Go with the 33s.

Thanks, I have looked on self edge and big's charts and size 33 looks right however i heard somewhere they fit one size smaller?

Well, the charts are made by measuring the actual jeans. You probably talking about that rumour that they'd suppose to shrink one size after washing. This ain't true.

[ktothe]

I think if you wash them brand new they do. Most people wash them after they've stretched them though.

Last week my back pocket ripped open (almost lost my tab in the process, it was clinging to my pocket with a single thread). Only noticed the damage when I got home from work. Probably looked pretty ridiculous also. That said, I took my baby to the local tailor and now they are happily joined again.
