according to SelfEdge they are sanforized

[panthermodern]

Yes they are sanforized.

Anybody have a pair of size 33 or 34 5507xx that they want to get rid of? I need another pair of Skulls in my life.

[only cure]

prewash pictures. wash pictures coming very soon, i got these jeans in august 08, 5010 black raws, worn 3-4 times a week

looks kinda waxed in this picture

[iGIT]

Damn they must be hard to break in.

I just got my pair of size 32 (true-to-size) raw skull 5010xx 6x6 and they seem to fit great. The waist fits just about right... I just hope it doesn't stretch much (maybe it will only stretch to what's needed). Anyways, just gonna wear these raw and see how it goes. Fit pics to come

[rolling green]

anyone interested in trading for a pair of 5010xx 6x6 raw 30's worn 5 times.....looking for 29's pm me

Here's the progress on my Lindas after about a year and half of wear.

There was a pretty big tear in the crotch that I had repaired at the Denim Doctors.

those are pretty nice how many washes?? btw that repair looks really good.

[nakedsushi]

Thanks. One wash.

Same ones from http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=835823&postcount=2941, I guess about 20 months or so now, but not worn everyday. I haven't been wearing them that much recently, since they've been in need of repair. I'll post close-up pics of the Denim Dr. repairs / reinforcements when I get a chance.

One or two washes, and a couple of soaks.

I kind of liked the idea of cotton threads, but after my pocket started to come off, I don't really know anymore

gotta repair this thing

[crosswound]

my pocket threads on my skulls are coming loose too i just noticed it today. thing is its not my only pair i'm wearing i got 3 in rotation. so the wear isn't even that hard.

[moykky]

Those damn cotton threads!

[guywithpants]

how does the fit of the s5010xx blacks compare to the fit of the diors

[GreenFrog]

What size should I get if I have a true 31" waist?

I'm going to get them RAW, and will NOT hot soak them. I'm just going to start wearing them as is.

Should I size down and get 29 (30" waist to accommodate for stretch), or 30 (31" waist)?

They're sanforized so it doesn't really matter if you hotsoak before you wear them anyways. The thighs are pretty tight fyi even at true to size so keep that in mind if you try to size down...

wash kinda messed these jeans up

its not that noticeable but theres a lot of lines and creases like this from the machine wash

still wet

dry

ive come to accept the fact that these will never fade, didnt get em for fading anyhow.

[PandaDenim]

I feel your pain, my black Diors aren't fading at all.

Fit's great though.

What in the last 500-odd pages would lead you to believe they will never fade?

Forget about the machine wash 'messing them up'. Wear them all day. Take them off to sleep (or not... if you're staggering in from a night of drinking and fall on the bed). Repeat.

Rocket scientists it ain't.

they're black. they take long to fade. i obviously know they're going to fade eventually, i just made an exaggeration.

but i've worn them since august and they look brand new.
