Other Brands of Jeans

some people simply have the body to make all clothes look good…damn
really a great fit -
After waiting 3 weeks, I received a pair of $30 Prison Blues raw from White's… Now I know why I spent 15 times more on a pair of IH jeans. I'm a 31 in IH, so I got a 30 in these thinking they'd be prison sized (remember they're raw). I can barely button the before a soak
The upside is I got a couple of pair of White's leather laces too. -
These look interesting:

Would be nice to see a report Nem. I've not had a chance to look at the website, just saw an article in the paper on monday, and I liked what they had to say.

great story & way to support local on another level.

I just took custody of an "as new" pair of Skull 5010XX (red tab). Not sure when I'll get around to wearing them, but I'm pretty excited.
It's a pity their reputation was dragged through the mud last year by some people, because they produced some damn fine stuff. My last pair of 5010XX were the equal best jeans I've owned (yep, that's right - up there with IH et. al.). Apart from IH, they're the only jeans I've have which felt like armour. Happy days.

Agreed.. I'd love to see a first hand impression.

I was interested until I read:
The coin pocket is designed to fit an iPhone.
Yeah, that bit threw me off too. Apart from that, they look promising, but….can they produce quality that rivals IH, TFH, etc?
Hmmmm :-\
For the price they're asking, they better

Does anyone have any experience with Tellason jeans? This one grabbed my eye, it's a light weight deep indigo canvas number. Looks to be reasonably priced, providing the quality is OK.

How did you size the 5010XXs compared to your IHs? Contemplating getting a pair myself.

Hi Innerlogic,
tagged 32 in the 5010xx fit me perfectly after some initial discomfort in the top block. In IH I'm usually a tagged 32 as well. Based on that, I'd say go with the same tag size as your usual IH fit.
Note that (if the measurements in BiG are accurate) the new run of 5010xx are slightly different proportions to mine. The new lot measurements are a touch bigger in the waist and tad thinner in the lower leg.
Assuming all else is equal, they are awesome jeans and I believe very under-rated.
Good luck!
