For you nudie slimjim and skull 5010 6x6 owners.. which of the 2 is lower at the crotch when worn at the same level?

i have both and the skulls have a lower rise...so when worn at the same leve, i would assume the slimjims will have a lower crotch.

[Gem_art]

If anyone owns some Imperial Dukes and Skull 5010 6x6 how does the fit of both compare? I'm a 31''W in the Dukes and cut-wise they're as skinny as I'll go in the thigh...

[r0cket-]

Searched the thread but didn't see much info on the 5010XX stretch blacks (and I can't read Japanese). What's the material/wash on these?

[tweeds]

Gem_art: i've tried on the dukes (many more times than is healthy for staving off the temptation to get a pair) as well as the 6x6, and i own the regular 5010XX--i'm in between the 29 and 30 in the dukes, and for a similar fit i would get the 29 in 6x6s. i think you're also quite safe on the thigh side of things.

[Gem_art]

Cheers Tweedles, appreciate that... Though I doubt my bank balance will...

[tweeds]

your heart will love you to make up for all that bank balance hate. get the jeans.

my cross stitch kind of looks like a dagger, the end is a little longer and thinned down compared to most of the cross stitches ive seen like this one:

Personally i'm very much into the striped tees with the oddly cut panels..

Okay I just got my size 28 5010xx 6x6 skulls and they measured 26" across when I got them... I don't think this is normal is it? I tried to stretch it out but it has only gotten to 28" across which is still too small.

[nakedsushi]

How many buttons can you do up? How much space do you have between the top of the jeans when you try to squeeze in them?

I thought the size I ordered was too small as well. I had 3 inches of space between the button and button hole of my top button when I first wore them, and now they've stretched to where I can put on the jeans with almost no effort.

[tsukasa]

I can only do up 2 buttons, and barely barely barely to up the top one with no other buttons done up and gives me a muffin top that I have never seen before. I need a post stretch size of around 31" around, which I thought the around 29" waist I thought I was getting (74.5cm) would do well.

Maybe these were miss tagged size 26s?

[kolourhero]

apparently these hardly stretch, so you are no way getting 31 in them

[tsukasa]

Yeah I was only expecting around 1 to 1.5 inches across in stretch and I got about 1 inch already. I think the only explaination is that these are mistagged. They had the measurements of a size 25 or 26 when I just got them.

So what are my options? Will Shinichi do a size exchange, if so how much would it cost?

[kolourhero]

you should've exchanged b4 wearing them and trying to stretch it etc. and im sure no problmes in exchanging, but now it's quite different.

Just message him and see what he could do i guess.

[tsukasa]

I only wore it for like 10 minutes. I just kinda tugged on the waistband to get the initial stretchage first... Hope something can be done.

[Dick Danger]

yup, you can live and learn, then order the correct size and keep this pair for patch material

[tsukasa]

Hah yeah... $200 patch material. Anyways Shinichi said he would do an exchange. I measured it the way he showed me, and it is still smaller than the size on their size charts by 3.5cm.... so I don't know what to belive. If I got what was measured, then it would fit. I know how to buy stuff if the measurements are correct.

They're probably not miss-tagged, but you may not be measuring the same way they do. If you're measuring with a tape measure straight across the waist you're not going to get the same measurement that Fabfour/Skulls use. I asked Shinichi about this when I ordered mine and he told me all of their waist measurements are circumference, which means a 26 across the waist might actually be a 28 circumference. It's actually more accurate of a method, because there is room on the sides that is never counted when you measure straight across. I know that might not help you now, but if you reorder measure your waist circumference and then pick a size that matches it.

You know what? I just re-read their measurement guide they emailed me and they measure it unbuttoned. This adds around 5.5cm to their measurements... which is around 2inches...

You know, since you put it at that angle, I only now just realized that it probably is supposed to be the dagger from the 'An Alchemist' logo. Which is actually a lot cooler than a random 'x' on the pocket.

[poly800rock]

that's a won't quit picture if i've ever seen one.

I'm not sure if the Lindas are the same for the 5010xx in terms of stretch (both are 100% cotton right?), but if it's any encouragement, I couldn't even do up the top button my first time wearing it. I say, if you can do the top button, just lie down, do the rest of the buttons and tough it out for a week. That's what I did and now they're pretty comfy.

yeah thats what i'm saying, i really like the "dagger" stitch on mine, and i want to believe its meant to be the dagger from the Alchemist logo, but most of the other ones i've seen dont look like that..

er, i'm probably going to be offending a lot of people for saying this, but the cross would be cooler upside down! haha.

[Dick Danger]

I don't think you offend, but you do make a great case for retroactive abortion.

[heBAY]

Allow me to be the second retroactively aborted man for agreeing with the upside-down cross thing-a-ma-bob.

Add that to something that says "skulls" and "alchemist" on it...it's like decking a nun whenever you take a step wearing those.
