Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

I wonder beautiful_freak if at one time the 5507XX was made in both one-wash and rigid?

 

BIG's listing shows them to be "Rigid/Unwashed".

 

That's how I remember them when I purchased my pair at SELA back in 2010.

they were/are (to my knowledge) always partially sanforized.

But as they still shrank quite a bit you could always buy them one-wash or raw.

 

rigid/unwashed has nothing to do with sanforized & unsanforized. They can be rigid/unwashed but still sanforized.

Update to my Skulls 5507, these are the lighter version which weight somewhere around 13 oz. They have about 8-9 months of on and off wear and about 15+ washes. I removed the patch because it was all shriveled up because of all the washes they went through.

Here are some comparison shots of the 5507 and 5010 6x6 (texas cotton):

Thanks guys! I knew I had to get skull jeans as my first pair of japanese raw denim and knew I made the right choice.

Edit: Does anyone know if any denim stores that carry skull would want some display jeans? I might need to get rid of them, if nothing, I might go to Reudi.

I've never paid much attention to Skulls but if my anal chemistry is right -

5010XX 6x6 - super slim (ouch!) fit tighter than;

5507XX 6x6 - traditional slim straight,

Both no.6 14.5oz sanforised denim, while;

5000 - 40/50's XX cut, 6x6 unsanforised denim,

5001 - regular fit (?), 14oz unsanforised denim,

5002 - early 40's war model, no. 6 6x6 14.5oz denim (probably unsanforised?)

..and

5109XX - traditional straight, seen referred to as a '66 cut?

Correct me if I'm wrong?

You're correct. I wouldn't say the 5010xx is as slim as advertised. If you check the measurements on BiG they're fairly large per size compared to most. I wear a 34 in most jeans (red cloud, 3sixteen, samurai) but can do a 32 in skull 5010xx
