As enthusiastic and knowledgeable as the good folk here on Sufu are over their jeans, I don’t think a switch from one cotton to another directly influenced their loss of interest in Skull. I think it was more to do with Self Edge dropping Skull from its line-up, which may have been due to QC issues (which may also have included the cotton switch).

My skulls from SE had a rivet pop off within days.  good denim though

 

not really sure the dragging on about sizing down. they were vanity sized one size.  apc was usually 2 sizes depending on the model apcs tended to stretch a lot. skulls tended to shrink a lot for sanforized jeans. (and then stretch back)

just typical confusion about buying clothes off the internet.

The new jean fabric I saw was pretty boring compared to the 6x6, but yeah after SE dropped them they seemed hard to get. I think being hard to get + QC issues was just the issue in general with them.

I'm not talking about someone who is naturally a 34 waist and buying a tagged 32 APC NC—being that it was probably a 34 in actuality. People (with 34" waists) were buying them at 29 and 30s and wondering why they were skin-tight and/or ripped within a month or two. These were the times back then, though. Skull and Samurai were never as bad as the APC thread, but maybe it was because of the cost of entry.
