Skull Jeans by an Alchemist

kiya · Dec 15, 2010

Hey guys, I just picked up a pair of lightly used Skulls 5010xx raw. The seller said only the waistband has touched water, but when I got it, the jeans feels relatively soft compared to the other raw denims I had. Is this normal? Thanks!

Those aren't soft jeans, sounds like they've been washed or worn a bit.

any idea to get a rivet to match my skull jeans?

I had one pop off after only an hour of wear, BiG (who I bought from) said they would hook me up with one after they got their next shipment in but its been around 6months and a few emails and nothing -so giving up there.

Do you think it'll go back to being stiff if I soaked them? There are minimal honey combs on the jeans and no fade at all.

Nope. Kiya's right, it seems as if they've been worn in a bit.

Those were the roughest, furriest, sandpaper jeans I've ever worn. I wore them without soaking in the beginning. After a year I soaked them and they were like a totally different jean, very soft. Soaking again will only make them softer.

Thanks for the heads up guys, btw how do you guys clean/ getting rid of odors in your jeans? Is it safe to take them to dry clean? Thanks!

Cold, delicate wash, inside out, Woolite black.

Cold, delicate wash, inside out, Woolite black.

That's what I do, except I use Dr. Bronner's or Samurai Thunder Soap instead of the Woolite. Not sure how much of a difference the type of soap makes.

by the time they are ready to be washed (6 months - 1 year) you probably won't be worried about it, because they should be very worn in at that point. just wash cold inside out and hang dry.

don't use a dryer that would be the harshest on any jean.

dry cleaning uses chemicals that are no good. it works but i wouldn't do it.

hot soaks are good as a wash alternative and will help them fit better.

Hi,

I'm selling a brand new pair of size 34 indigo 5507's worn for about 4 hours only once. PM with an offer or for pics if interested. No wash or soak, sadly they are too big for me so I am willing to cut my losses and buy a better size.

We've dropped Skull due to a combination of quality control and inconsistent product, it's a sad departure but it's honestly not worth our (and we'd hope our customers') time any more.
We've dropped the prices of remaining stock 30% to 50% off retail, all sales final:
