Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

[chapital]

Damn... I'm no longer the only dude in Australia with skulls

Congrats on the good fit jpgm, post some pics bro! (And where in Australia are you?)

[ninjapie]

thanks shinichi! third time lucky, my size 30 are perfect!

actually, they are a little small, but will be perfect once they stretch out a bit. these fuckers are slim as hell! definitely glad i got my regular size though, the 31 would have been massive through the waist in no time, and i wanted something a fair bit slimmer than my 27 APC NS.

cheers for the fantastic service shinichi! glad to hear you are feeling better.

another happy customer!

You had to ship 'em back twice? Auch.

I'd like to see pictures of your perfect fit, too!

[cory_ostertag]

[shinichi]

Maybe my first international shipping is Canada:D

it is 2 years ago.

However he was Japanese person.

So At that time, I did not understand English:p

This summer and autumn, I shipped to Canada some jeans. Thanks a lot of Canadian people:)

Mr.Calvin-san

You are first guy that I 'shipped' to US;)

However there are international people who got our jeans at 7-8 years ago.

do you know Noel Gallagher of OASIS

He got fabfour-products that called by "John Lennon Exclusive Model"

This is the set by 5001XX special edition and John Lennon's reproduct bag.

this is John Lennon's reproduct bag. we don't have 5001XX special edition now.

[seatiger]

Will the brown fade like indigo?

[ninjapie]

I'm going to have to wait untill March before I can request my own creditcard and order anything at all. By that time I'll have more than enough funds, though.

The 5010xx Gray looks very cool, by the way.

Shinichi-san, do you happen to work in the fabfour store in Osaka?

I will be in Osaka in August, so perhaps I can come and visit the store.

Will the brown fade like indigo?

it's not likely...almost nothing fades like indigo.

[su8m3rg3d]

damn the gray one looks so fuckin good!

[Chicken]

i wonder if we aren't taking the phrase "fades like indigo" too literally. i mean, nothing will fade exactly like indigo. but doesn't this phrase exist because the black jeans were always dyed too deeply and the weft threads were also black. so when they faded they just became a blurry gray? but ever since people like sugar cane and samurai started to create black denim that were dyed and constructed like blue denim and they faded with more contrast, they were called, "fade like indigo"?

and if this was the case, the two new 5010xxs pictured above do look like they'll fade like indigo, if i was to guess.

[tweeds]

i should have been clearer...

yes the new stuff with the undyed weft looks to provide more contrast than the older black x black jeans, but the general consensus is that they will provide for less "outstanding" wear patterns than indigo jeans? apart from that pair of samurais very little has been seen of worn in black denim...

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

same price?

yes, that's why we need people to get these and show us what's possible in the world of denim. (i'm anxious to see what happens with all those 5000bks people are wearing right now, also.)

but even speaking of indigo alone, there are so many kinds of indigo and they fade differently, too. i mean, would you say the sugar cane edo ais don't fade like indigo because they have less contrast? since these gray and brown skulls are lighter in color than the ones with conventional synthetic indigo dye, i'm sure these won't achieve the same contrast as you would with the blue 5010xx. but they might end up having more contrast than the edo ais.

[tweeds]

well...you've got me there.

perhaps compared to pure indigo these will see a better result as you said; funny that what we see as indigo is actually a synthesis of plant indigo and chemicals...and that natural indigo fades less differentially than synthetic.
