Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

[mackie]

thanks mackie. @fallen and mackie, it looks like yours still have more color compared to mine. did you wash it at all? after my 1st wash and a couple of weeks of wear, the color is really light now.

they've probably had 5 or 6 washes by this point, plus a few soaks. I treat them gently and use Dr. Bronners rather than detergent. you've got several months of wear on me too, right?

i got it dec of 2008 and its been worn pretty much daily except one month in the summer of 09. i did one initial soak, one cold soak, and one machine wash light tumble with dr bronners.

While i was at it i decided to try taking some macro shots; sorry they are a bit yellow under incandescent lighting.

you can tell under where the belt is, the color is darker.

a hole in the comb.

...roping?

the second and third picture is closest to true color, cheers.

My patch at 8 months

[xSIRCHx]

im sure this has been addressed multiple times, but anyways....

i wear apc nc size 32, and about a 34 in every other pants, a 5010 size 33 would fit, correct?

[fallen angels]

^correct.

reminds me, i have an brand new pair of skull 5010 6x6 size 33 with red tab that i will most likely sell. never been worn. i keep forgetting to make a thread for it. just giving a heads up. ill probably make a sale thread this weekend

[lintmunro]

i still have my damn tagged 30s that i've been trying to sell for weeks

it sucks because i bought it off supermarket and was between a 28 and 30 and bought the 30 when the 28 would have been perfect RAHHHHHH

[ranonranonarat]

skull 5010xx 6x6 at 4 months. 1 initial hot soak followed by another hot soak, after purchasing these from another guy, to shrink down the waist.

turning out a nice electric blue that i like.

[gonegonegone]

^ Those are starting to look brilliant. I'm glad you are satisfied with your purchase. Would rep if I could, but I need to spread.

Too bad I grew out of them, now I just need to find the right size.

[ranonranonarat]

it was one of the best buys i ever made all thanks to you. good luck with looking for a new pair, it would be brilliant if you found a pair with red tabs in your size.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Skulls 5507xx 7x6 denim. Worn most days for a few months... (4, 5?);

You can see the abuse that the custom Corter wallet has wrought on the back pocket;

Then thrown into the wash with this;

Will post post-wash pics when I get around to taking the photos.

[dissident]

damn, that wallet fade is epic.

[ranonranonarat]

got bored, decided to take a few pictures of me in my 5010xx 6x6s today.

[xSIRCHx]

does anyone know why the black 5010s do not fade like the indigo?

would the "cheese" dying have anything to do with it?

[skim]

Got a size 32 in the 5010xx raw up for sale. Will also trade for the same in a sz 31.

PM!!

the 'cheese' dying is the reason why. its also known as hank dying where the warp threads are dyed all the way through to the core. the indigo are rope dyed so the core of the warp is white.

[ygoldy]

Been searching everywhere - online, Japan, etc. Anyone know where I can find a pair of Skull5010XX in BLACK size 30?

Edit: I know production is stopped (or super slow, or postponed) on Skulls right now. Just hoping someone has a pair, or knows someone who does.

so does this mean that the blacks would never fade like the indigos? or is the process just prolonged?

[jeansnkicks]

^the blacks will never fade like the indigos. they will still fade but it will be a much lower contrast vintage looking fade and will take a helluva lot longer.

[whorichard?]

Trust me, black skulls are such like UGH omg such a pain in the ass to fade, mine are takin like forever.

[kiid supreme]

That wallet fade a page back is hot.

sup...

Trying to get a fit similar to my size 30 APC NS but with a slightly smaller leg opening. The Skulls 5507 seem to be a great option, has anyone sized their 5507 to their apc ns? I heard they are about the same but with a 7.5 leg opening.

It depends on how you would size down on APC NS (down 2 or 3), but I'm also a 29 NS, and I wear a 30 in 5507 and 5010. It's only down one (1) for Skulls for a good, standard fit.

I highly suggest not going smaller unless you want major hip-pain, crotch blowouts and button loss, pocket stitch rip, etc.

The 5507 and 5010 are pretty close in fit. The 5010 is basically the 5507 if you sized down one more. The 5010 is really the skinny jean, the 5007, like you said, is closest to the NS. 30w 5007 has a 7.5" post-wash leg opening.

[Dudebro]

Is there a proxy for skull jeans anyone knows about?
