      I was assuming you had done your homework, buttersb  😉 … But yeah if that's what you mean, check GimpKid's post... They look like overdyed jeans only they're not and fade much nicer… Again: these have barely been worn, let alone worn hard... I've been sleeping in them, that's about it... I only wear 14 ounce jeans when it's warm(er)...



      I think I'm going back to sleeping in jeans as well - for some reason I sleep better than in pjs!
      Later will soak in a bath and "get dressed!" again and see if I can sleep tonight as I'm shattered from being up all last night.
      Anyway, if they wear out it just gives me an excuse to look for more… Although 2011 search not quite over.

      Been reading some other brands/fits... It's really helpful as I've ordered so many this year that don't fit.
      From now on I'll check ALL measurements before ordering.
      Also comments about how the denim "behaves" is really helpful as well.
      Thnx guys for all of your threads that I've read- its really helpful.

      Very uneven structure. Hard to tell, probably.

          The back pockets on my xx-011's needs repaired.  i'm always stuffing my newspaper in there and it's been too much for the side stitching, need to get them to a tailor for a patch up job as the leaf is holding one on.

            Those 634S Vs XX009 pics are amazing. A beautiful comparison of two very awesome, yet completely different, denims.

            I'm in the early stages of a pair of 007, and can understand why people say that PBJ denim is some of the wildest out there. Loving it - just hoping I don't get the excessive stretch issue that was mentioned earlier.

                these pics explain why I love both IH and PBJ. If IH didnt exist I would wear nothing but PBJ's (and maybe some samurais, and maybe some momotaros, and maybe some roy's). Since IH does exist, I hardly ever wear by PBJ's but when I do, I go: wow, these are great…

                  I know exactly what you mean, gbougard. I don't wear my PBJ often enough either, but I still love 'em to death. Their denim is completely unique.

                      Can't wait for my tapered 009s to arrive… Might do another month on the 666'es though... If the weather allows it...

                                      is that green-ish colour on the 43 really green-ish or just cuz of the flasher/camera settings?

                                            I recently purchased a pair of the 24-007 PBJ's.  The denim used in these is truly unique.  They shrink a fair amount though after the first soak and I wouldn't recommend sizing down!  I sized up, and after they soak they are almost as tight as a pair of Momotaro 0702's (Deep Indigo Tight Straight).  Rise is low also, almost as low as Somet 003 slim.
