Skull Jeans by An Alchemist

[JALuke]

haha, it;s just that i've figured out the fit i want and this exact size and model match it best out of all of the jeans i've researched. for this purchase i'm considering the measurements as the top priority

Are you open to the Texas denim models? You might find the same block you want, in a different tagged size with those.

what are you talking about?? Does the older 5010xx fit differently than the new ones?

Surely no different in fit, but last year's ran a bit large. That's the only reason I was able to get onboard with a pair.

A little peek at my skulls & their fitment/wear. A lame pic but it's all I got for now

[szszcool]

^ history on those?

[esoteric]

5010XX from the Skull Jeans Contest by MyNudies like 3 years ago? I have a few pics in this thread with their evolution, but a handful of washes, lots of patches and lots of wear haha.

Soaking...can't wait for the first day.

I spotted some assembler's grease-pencil notes inside

those are really.....special...

When the apocalypse comes, these are going to be useful for the urban ninja commandos and their need for countless beltloops and arrow-shaped pockets.

[stewiegriffin]

Wew, what's up with the loops? Lol.

Hey guys, I'm still waiting for the beast archers to arrive... lol, I really wanted something different! XD I got enough repros, ODs, 21ozers, to last a while. I just wanted something that's instrinsically japanese that's NOT themed on american workwear.

It's just a slightly different concept and approach to denim... I thought I'd give it a try? now i'm on the hunt for a long belt, that wraps around the waist 2 times. lol

I will post something up once it arrives.

hi guys, im planning to get my first pair of skulls. saw this guy's skulls and i was inspired;

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=1719975&postcount=5051

was just wondering if the cross stitched skulls r not in production anymore? cos most of the online stores i see are red tabs. are there any difference in material/denim? im a true 30, and looking for a slim fit. which one should i go for? 5010xx 6x6? and i noticed there's 6x7 also, is there any difference?

sorry dont mean to ask noob questions i'm quite new to denim, and i did some reading in this forum but still dont quite get it.

[chambo2008]

I'm pretty sure igit got his true waist 29, I got my true waist 30 and the are pretty slim but very nice jeans, no difference between the cross and tab model in terms of fit and denim, the 7 x 6 is a slighty different denim but fit is the same, the fit would change if you went for the 5507 which is bigger in the knee/hem area

All in all I recommend true to real waist size, they might stretch in the waist but not much else where

[ryansuuu]

this thread needs some more love! and apparently i'm still the only one on here who sprung for skull's new zero model/denim

so i took a few evo and fit pics of my skull zeros (sjb666p) thoughts/comments?

i know i definitely could have sized down one -____-

and these are due for a hem, just gotta wait until im back in tokyo for chainstitch

~3.5 months, 2 soaks (1 initial, 1 at 3 month point)

have read and seen that skulls do not use texas cotton anymore. and that many people are actually pretty upset about that. and also came across some people saying the fades now turn out differently?

[homi29]

Skulls at like 5-6 washes, worn off and on for two years.

Tbh yes they changed Denim but no one here has a pair from the old and new denim so it is all just talk as you can see above they don't fade that much different compared to the old Texas cotton

Insane comfort level on the Pima blend, boey.

cos' it's less rougher? that's what the description says on BiG.

oh yea, do you guys measure true waist by where you normally wear your jeans on?

should i sz down or tts on 5010xx?

[sean_]

don't size down. these things are not very forgiving around the waist. on that note, i wish i could fit into my pair.

whats the max shrinkage?

[jyoni]

Yes, very smooth weft, boey. At the highest these will probably sit right at the top of your hip bone, so if you're sizing with a tape that would probably be the best place to measure. My size was the biggest out of the lot (the most fabric) and I got just over 1" shrinkage in the waist, 1.5" in length. So, pretty much as expected, even for the larger size. That was with two hot soaks with a full hang dry between them.

[chambo2008]

Look back a few pages I have pictures of three different sizes of the 5010 cut

[seanpsk]

a little experiment i did to the excess from hemming my old skulls and the red tab from the back pocket, it fits my iphone perfectly

[S-Town]

Hey, if anyone is looking for a cheap(relative to BIG) pair of s5000xx, let me know. I have a BNWT size 34 I'd like to move.

[nicolnicolnicol]

Took some quick waywt pics for another forum. Decided to post the photos up here as a fitting reference. I'm a true 30 waist and wearing the PIMA 5010xx in a size 30.

^wats the history on those?
