Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

Skull 5010XX 6x6 worn off and on for around 10 months, probably no more than 6 months total wear. Washing them right now.

These are epic! Did you do a first soak?

Size down 1 for slim, true to waist for slim/straight. Mine are hella tight inthe waist, but legs are rather straight, my legs aren't skinny.

i sized down one on raw 5010 6x6s (bought 3 months ago) and my balls only now are starting to get some breathing room. but maybe my pair was just weird?

nemoulette, those are epic! Great job, they look fantastic!

[jpgm]

No, they were one wash so I just wore them. They don't look a whole lot different my first wash, so I'll post pictures in a few months or so.

so after a few days of trying the 5010bk i decided the cut isnt for me because its too slim in the thigh, theyre a size 30 if anyone is intrested, check the supermarket.

[heBAY]

nice...7 months and 2 washes though? How's the threading holding up?

[blackrover]

Just order a pair of 5000xx Raw from BIG. Excited and worred at the sametime seeing a few quality problems. I up sized on so I won't be stressing them as much...well see.

There is no quality problems. They are sewn with cotton thread (like Samurai, Fullcount, etc...) which isn't as durable as polyester thread.

i'd give it a 9 out of 10, the only thread breaks i have so far are the inevitable ones... like hem, rivets, the part on the seat where the denim meets, etc. i haven't worn them terribly hard. the most intensive thing i do in them is biking.

Thanks for the heads up. I plan on riding BMX in them so it'll be great for them to hold up.

Cool to hear. I'm definitely torn between getting a pair now or waiting (for who knows how long) for the poly-cottons to come out.

THAT may be the ceremonial stitching execution...but it'll also lead to some nice fading.

5010xx 6x6 one wash at about 8 months, 3 washes, 1 crotch blowout/repair

[Junetastic]

That's a really bright spot on the left knee. Do you fall on it a lot or something?

[todesengel]

yea I was drunk and fell on a rock

Skull 5010 6x6 raw @ 5 months / hot soak @ 3 months

I HATED the way they fit from the knee down before the soak, but I think it did a good job of helping them fall better. I'm still debating with myself whether my next pair of jeans should be more tapered since my calves are skinny as fuck.

[Jackboot]

Fit looks pretty ideal to me Junetastic

[superslim_zac]

Did you wear them from raw?

I think they look good on you. how tall are you tho? There isn't much stacking.

[Junetastic]

5'7", size 28, hemmed to 33"

[epitaph220]

everyone posting up their skulls. good stuff

[superslim_zac]

5'7", size 28, hemmed to 33"

Ah I see! Well that length looks really good. Out of interest, did the place you got them hemmed at chainstitch them too?

Yep... Self Edge <3.

[superslim_zac]

Ah thought so!

Could you post some pictures of the heming they did? I've never seen the Self Edge chainstitch job.

Skull 5010 6x6 One-Wash / ~4 Months / 1 Soak

Taken right after the first soak. Color was corrected to give the exact color of the jeans.

Kind of disappointed with the post-soak fit, they did not shrink enough I think I'm losing too much weight...kind of a bummer. Might have to retire these, but they are just starting to show potential...
