Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

[vjiforlife]

awesome....ordered my skulls from self edge last night....cant wait

did you get the 5010 or the 5507 skulls?

[Kamikaze]

5507xx sz 32

I'm about 5'10' 170ish. Just breaking in the waist a bit. No wears yet. I have big plans with these.

[isoform]

Lindas one-wash Sz2 from BiG...

for some context: height = 5'7.5 // inseam - 33'' // weight ~ 114lbs // true waist - 26''

in otherwords: build is fairly long and narrow w/ some curve

Q: just to make it crystal clear for me--if it's one-wash there is no need for a soak before wear, right?

Q: in your opinions -- cuffed or stacked on me?

[bouwnt]

wow those actually look really good, especially the ass, which normally looks like shit when girls wear these types of jeans. *applause*

[ironXcrayon]

mommy lookin fly. I wish I was a girl so I can get more rep :/.

[synthi]

Isoform those linda's look sick on you. Awesome fit. A new precedent for dry denim on girls me thinks

[mookey]

These look PERFECT. You have just turned me off a new pair of APC hipsters.

they're the hip hang straights right?

[Unkle Jamima]

I just got these yesterday. My first pair of Japanese jeans. A little snug on the top, so i have been wearing them low. How do they look?

for reference I am 71 inch, 135lb. and they are 5010xx 6x6 one wash size 29

looks good to me, try to lose the shoe thats in my opinion.

[Thorns]

Honestly I think they look kinda strange on you. Can we get a better picture... taken dead on if you can? and 86 the shoes.

[Guest DUM]

[Largo]

I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but I am away on holiday on 19-24th of this month.

Therefore, my reply to the inquiry will be for after the 25th of this month.

There it is.

[hollaforadolla]

[openchestwounds]

i have a feeling he'll be very busy when he gets back

gotta love skulls

[maydenchina]

hey kix, what size did you get?

[will47]

Got Skull 5010s at Self Edge. Originally got the Flat Head 3001s but just couldn't get over the little duck tail in the back (even if it would go away, I think it would have been too loose for me in the butt and thighs). After looking at some pictures of the Flat Heads w/ some wear, I'm not totally convinced that the more boxy cut is for me. I still might get a pair of the Flat Heads at some point, but the Skulls were the most comfortable and best feeling to me, so after making sure the gf wouldn't get too mad about me biting her styles, I exchanged them.

1 day, no soak (yet).

[ironXcrayon]

good fit will47-san!

[tsukasa]

got my 5010xx 6x6 (long inseam) today. sorry no shoes, got lazy:

[Pandemonium]

it looks great tsukasa.

a relaxed fit if i may ask?

[ninjapie]

I assume you exchanged the 28s? Nice fit on these.

[thenga]

has everyone experienced these staying tight on the ass like they do in most pics? can you achieve a sling/anti-fit without sizing up and getting a loose fit?

They stretch... so yes... was that even a yes or no question?

Then get Raw 6x6

Yeah - I am on the fence about the soak. I don't want them to get too much shorter (yeah - can try to stretch them a little), as the length right now is pretty much perfect... but I do want to keep the top pretty tight.

I don't think they'll shrink a whole lot anyway (b/c they're Sanfordized), but if they do, they'd presumably shrink more up than in. So I'm leaning towards a cold or warm (but probably not hot) soak sometime this week.
