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

@GimpKid:

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.

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

@Seul:

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...

Sorry, my bad, I was thinking of the 007 which is wicked

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:

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

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.

[Seul]

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 

[laxlife1234]

I don't think you can compare two heavy weights. IH vs. PBJ is comparing something like Android and iOS. It just can't be compared. They are both amazing brands with amazing products.

PBJ xx-005 tts sz 29.

Just received them today from a trade with decades777 (excellent trader). Always wanted a pair of PBJ's never thought of owning these though always thought of owning a pair of deep indigos those will be next though.

Anyways here is the fit sorry for the horrible expression, I have tons of homework, PSATs, SATs, and im sick but w/e.
I'll get a proper WAYWT up soon.

The denim is great on these! I initially bought these thinking they were going to be more of a full cut but when I got them and realized they are actually slim that made me a bit more happy. These also remind me of a lightweight slubbier version of my S500JX-LRs. Actually they almost look like the same denim.

[Seul]

PBJ XX-009 has the highest rise of all dark indigo models?.. Can anyone compare the rise of say the XX-007 and a pair of 634Ses or Beatle Busters?..

[elclintor]

007's are way lower…

Nutsplitters I tell ya.

[kit99bar]

a lot of the pbj cuts are low rise, tight tights, no taper after knee.  ahha

[Seul]

Yeah mine are supposedly tapered down the knee but can't say I can tell… Plus they stretch, and stretch, and keep  stretching... And not just in the waist... Also the rise is too low... Especially now with the hip flares and all that...

Great fabric, but I wished a decent brand would be allowed to make a jeans out of it
