I just had multiple repairs done to my Skulls. The total cost was $34. They're about 1.5 years old, worn maybe 7-8 months during that time, soaked once, and washed twice.

The patch was half off so I had restiched. (Cost: $2)

The stitching around the pocket had fallen off so I had this reinforced. And...

The pocket itself had ripped on the inside. I had this patched up. (Cost: $12)

The stitching around the buttonholes was pretty much all gone. The holes had started to tear open. The second one from the top was about to rip right through. The tailor stiched all this by hand. (Cost: $20)

And here are some pics of the entire front and back. (Cost: Priceless, Duh.)

Bonus knee shot.

Does anyone know why it is only the 5010 and 5507 models that make it Stateside? I am curious about their other models but I never hear about them.

I think it's simply the demand... You can always get the model you want from the source.

Dude, b-e-a-uuutiful whiskers. Love the contrast there. Good work.

Here are the latest photos of my Skulls. If you'd like to see the full evolution, I've posted photos in the evo thread: link

I have a sizing question (shocking!).

I'd like a pair of 5010 6x6 that fit somewhat snugly after a bit of wear; not skin tight, and not droopy.

Where I wear my jeans has an measurement of 36"-ish. (A little less some days.)

I have worn Samurai S5000BK lot 10s, size 35, and those fit great in the waist and relaxed everywhere else. SEXFH05s in 36 that are pretty relaxed-fit, and which I can take off without unbuttoning any buttons if I'm not wearing a belt. Nudie Slim Jim dry black coated in 34 that fit really, really great. AW Grifters in 34 that are fine in the waist, very slightly (but wearably) tight in the thighs, fine below there, but crazy tight through the hips (enough that I'm selling them).

(And APS NS in 34 that fit like lounge pants.)

Does all that help triangulate which size would work for me? It seems like either 34 or 35 would be best; 35 seems safest, but I don't want to end up with pants as loose-fitting as e.g. the SEXFH05s I mentioned. I also don't want to end up with pants I don't enjoy wearing and want to sell, like the Grifters.

[Turntabloid]

size 35 for good fit (36" waist) or size 34 for a very good fit (35" waist)

[aho]

^Echoing the above advice...they'll fit similar to the SExFH05's in the same size, so if those were too big then size down to a 35...

[kazedemon]

new leather bracelet and wallet reign on selfedge?

[reprehensible]

OK, so I got the 5010 in size 35:

(Note that proportions are slightly off, as I used a really wide angle.)

Unsoaked. I'm thinking I should probably size down. Any opinions?

They're definitely not tight in any dimension.

last minute sizing questions...

basically, having only really worn APCs in the past, vanity sizing has really fucked with my head. I've got a pair of 26 tagged PS's, but they now measure about 15" along the backside of the waistband. They're still pretty snug, the top button has a BIT of pull. Where I wear them measures just around 31". An inch or two below my belly button is just a shade under 31. My waist at it's smallest, so above the belly-button, is about 29". I think I just have an awkward build or something, because I'm only about 5'10/135-140, so a tagged 30 almost seems too big.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a 28 and 30. The 30 has some wear and has stretched out to about 31", so I'm thinking I go with that. The 28 has less wear and is apparently at about 29.5, but can supposedly hit 30.

Thoughts? I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on the 30s.

Sorry for such a comprehensive detailing of my body...

[enojy]

I'd get the 30, definitely not the 28.

sizing down 1 wouldn't hurt but those look fine imo reprehensible
