Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

What are the main differences between the Skull 5010xx's, and the Flat Head F310's? I just proxied a pair of the Skulls from Japan, and they ended up being a little lose in the waist when going TTS. It really sucks not being able to try on $300 jeans before buying them....

I'm mainly interested in the fade and fit of each one, but I'd also like to know which one people prefer and why. I already have a pair of PBJ's and APCs in my rotation, so I'd like to get something a little different from those cuts.

I just got some Raw 5010. If I pre-soak them, will they be significantly less rigid? They are quite stiff right now, and I like that, but I have lost a bit of weight and would like them to fit a bit more snug/get the bit of shrinking out of the way so that my honeycombs line up after I soak/wash them down the road.

I used to work up the road from the Fab Four store in Naka Meguro - I remember it was an awesome store, particularly for a Beatles fan like me. Old and rare records, posters, instruments all from the Beatles, and Beatles music constantly playing.

I bought some of their jeans for some friends in Italy, but at the time I was too big, or they made jeans too slim, for my rugby arse. I did buy this wallet, however. I haven't been through all these posts to see if another has been posted, but in any case, here's mine. Originally it had a skull buttons with hooks on the back, which they sold separately for like $20. I wish I'd bought all their stock when I could, they are awesome. I bought one extra, which is on the end of the deerskin cord. I've beaten it up pretty bad, and haven't used it in years, but it's still a killer wallet.

Hey Pomata - your name is Milo, by any chance? Do you own a nightclub somewhere? And look like this guy in the middle? If not, then there is another Alchemist fan in Italy!

After 2 unfortunate tailoring experiences I finally found a good tailor and he helped fix my skulls back up. Now they're all ready for my eurotrip!

About 2.5 months of decent wear on these. 1-2 washes and 1 hotsoak...I think

Is Skull still having problems with their production? Seem to recall hearing something like that a while back, a lot of the stores around here stopped carrying Skull Jeans as a total and told me the only place to get them was the Fabfour store in Tokyo.

Not that I know of. Both Self Edge and BiG got large restocks of Skull jeans last month.
