The 5000XX aren't sanforized:

Maynard did you ever get rid of that pair you had for sale?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Maynard's right. But the Skull 5507XX 6x6 is sanforized (although it still shrinks a decent amount).

[Maynard Friedman]

Maynard did you ever get rid of that pair you had for sale?

Sure did.

[Wörn75]

I wonder beautiful_freak if at one time the 5507XX was made in both one-wash and rigid?

 

BIG's listing shows them to be "Rigid/Unwashed".

 

That's how I remember them when I purchased my pair at SELA back in 2010.

Those look nice.  I didn't know that Skull ever did anything unsanforized, though.  

 

Thanks Cold Summer!

they were/are (to my knowledge) always partially sanforized.

But as they still shrank quite a bit you could always buy them one-wash or raw.

 

rigid/unwashed has nothing to do with sanforized & unsanforized. They can be rigid/unwashed but still sanforized.

Well they look incredible worn.

[Wörn75]

^ Thanks SuperJackle!

Anyone able to proxy a pair of skulls from the fab four website? The S5000 seems to be sold out almost everywhere else.

Update to my Skulls 5507, these are the lighter version which weight somewhere around 13 oz. They have about 8-9 months of on and off wear and about 15+ washes. I removed the patch because it was all shriveled up because of all the washes they went through.

 

 

Here are some comparison shots of the 5507 and 5010 6x6 (texas cotton):

Now I want some skulls .......

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Fantastic evo!!!

[laxlife1234]

Agreed. Really well done with them! 

[noobedloser]

Thanks guys! I knew I had to get skull jeans as my first pair of japanese raw denim and knew I made the right choice.

Edit: Does anyone know if any denim stores that carry skull would want some display jeans? I might need to get rid of them, if nothing, I might go to Reudi.

You have a ladies clutch bag in your back pocket! You'd be an osteopath's dream if you tried to sit down with that thing in there

damn really want a pair of skulls now..

[cmboland]

I've never paid much attention to Skulls but if my anal chemistry is right -

5010XX 6x6 - super slim (ouch!) fit tighter than;

5507XX 6x6 - traditional slim straight,

Both no.6 14.5oz sanforised denim, while;

5000 - 40/50's XX cut, 6x6 unsanforised denim,

5001 - regular fit (?), 14oz unsanforised denim,

5002 - early 40's war model, no. 6 6x6 14.5oz denim (probably unsanforised?)

..and

5109XX - traditional straight, seen referred to as a '66 cut?

Correct me if I'm wrong?

You're correct. I wouldn't say the 5010xx is as slim as advertised. If you check the measurements on BiG they're fairly large per size compared to most. I wear a 34 in most jeans (red cloud, 3sixteen, samurai) but can do a 32 in skull 5010xx

[Warakia]

I don't think the 5010xx is that slim either, plenty of space in the thighs too. If the rise was a bit longer they'd be even better, it's quite short.
