Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

agree with you jimmy, the placement of the leaf is also key to my liking it.

figured only leaf i would love would be the fronto

gbougard: I asked Gordon (BiG) whether the XX-009 would come out in 24 oz, and he said no… Otherwise I would've definitely waited for it...

[madmonday]

what is with the love of the heavier weight denim?  i know it's funny hearing that coming from an Iron Heart junkie like myself.  . . but still.  matter of fact don't answer will put in random questions.

i just refuse to delete my posts so it rides

Fourteen ounce doesn't feel sturdy enough on the workfloor… And not warm enough in the winter... Plus I'm used to sleeping in 14 oz. jeans so yeah...

With all this love of the leaf I kinda feel cheated now since no one can see it on me. I demand a crotch leaf.

GK, denim lovers will recognize PBJ's gorgeous denim though!

The image in my head of the crotch leaf is hilarious, for some reason it was a big leaf

I got both and they are stunning. Too bad I dont have more time to wear them, due to IH taking over!!!

@jimmy:

Need a back shot there seul.

Posted one somewhere else I think, but here it is:

[elclintor]

how is the rise on that model seul? the 007's were really low..

[Seul]

Not high enough, but definitely solid to work in… I don't really know how to explain this sufficiently...  :-\

[georgeel]

PBJ-24oz vs. IH-25oz. Who's better?

[elclintor]

My money's on IH….

[jimmy]

yeah i like the position of the back pockets. one thing that IH jeans seem to sit on my funny

[Giles]

You could have a long conversation with Haraki about back pocket placement.  He is exceedingly particular as to where he puts them and can talk about it for ages…...

[pillowPANTS]

I find if they r spaced too far apart that the make ur arse look wider than it is. Thats not a good look 

[georgeel]

Sorry, maybe I should be more specific… I wanted to talk strictly about denim.

@georgeel:

Sorry I side tracked the question.

[gbougard]

two totally different animals. Too hard to pass a judgement. I'd vote for IH though. Maybe PBJ has a teeny weeny bit more stylishness with their deep blue models but the denim fabric of the IH is much heavier, feels much more than 1oz heavier, and I truly wonder if PBJ is really at 24oz.

The colour of my XX-009s is astonishing… They do stretch reàlly easily, though... When they arrived, I thought 'How the féck am I gonna get in these?.." But I pulled the waist a bit and was able to MANUALLY stretch them, bit like a pair of sweatpants haha... Anyhow... They were a bit snug at first but perfect right now... The feel of the denim is quite intense as well... I'm sure these will fade like no other... Tremendously happy with this purchase...

Too bad I won't be wearing it a lot until next spring
