Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

[chambo2008]

mine didn't shrink, just lost some startch...

[commodorewheeler]

but since theyre lightly sanforized, they dont need to be soaked, amirite?

to my knowledge, unsanforized denim needs to be soaked and sanforized (like ih) does not need to be

"lightly" sanforized is could mean anything. Regardless, i wont soak em

"Lightly" sanforized jeans like Skulls and Momotaros will still shrink by an amount somewhere between unsanforized and sanforized denim. Personally, I would soak.

[chambo2008]

don't forget evisu number 2 aswell.

you lose about 1/2 a inch on the inseam and thats it the rest is just normal

[Madder_Lake]

In my eyes, THAT´S EXACTLY how a pair of jeans should fit! To me those are freakin´ perfect! I´m NOT suppose to buy ANY more denim in years! But these Skulls may be a must have for me...

It sounds like you don't need any more encouragement but my Skulls now fit like a glove. And the indigo is very very deep (they claim the jeans are dipped three times longer than most other jeans -- and they might be at that). The indigo is deeper than any that I have except the LVC 55's.

All in all superb jeans and I wear them as much as I can.

[chambo2008]

skulls are great. but if you want deep indigo, momo is the way ...

the only thing is that i dont want the jeans to shrink in the knee/thigh area or else theyd be soaked already

could stand to lose some starch

Does anyone here wear skulls (5010) with engineers? I am wondering if the jeans would be too tight. I have size 30's btw and I think the leg opening is 7.5ish

If anyone has experience with slimmer jeans and engineers at all I would appreciate the feedback

Oh, the boots would be short shifts so not as high as regular engineers if that matters.

Just wear them when they are still damp. Then they will stretch where they need to stretch and shrink where they can stand to shrink. Just don't do deep knee bends or you will get too much stretching at the knees and they will look ugly and saggy. (This trick of course works better in the summer months. ).

Cold soak would probably cause insignificant shrinkage if you don't have room to spare.

Hey, does anyone know of any jeans that have a similar fit to the 5507s? I've worn my 5507s out and im thinking about getting a new pair for christmas ^^

[povatix]

^ PBJ XX-005, Samurai S0500XX, BiG N-01

PBJ-005's are kinda the opposite of 5507's....they're really slim in the thigh, and have a larger leg opening......

[dmzzzz]

so is it recommended to size one down on the new lot of 5010xx? buying a tagged sized of 28 as i'm a 29 waist? does anyone know what the stretch is like for the new lot?

Ande Whall cougars a pretty close as far as a comparison of measurements goes.

[heBAY]

If you like 5010xx 6x6's...but want a little more taper (ala the 5507's)...buy my pair please (up on the Supermarket, or via my signature).

[chambo2008]

5507 is slighty wider then 5010 bro..

[heBAY]

the tapered leg of the 5507 is wider than the 5510? My bad. I guess I'veb een out the Japanese denim game for a minute.

That's why I posted measurements up regardless of whether my knowledge of the diff. models has carried over well or not.

[wahwho11]

^just look at the measurements at selfedge or blueingreen. either would have told you that.

Fell back in love with my Skulls today. Deciding whether my new Redwing 2970s suit the narrow leg or to stick with the Chukkas.

[duce.]

^ great fit and fades

[thewickett]

I would def stick with the chukkas
