Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

My thighs measure the same as the one wash so tts is risky, let alone sizing down one.
Here are my 007's (tts/up half an inch) after a measly few weeks of wear:

Witness the slub!

Gosh, those PBJ's from Sugar Mountains post look like doing highly unreasonable things for….killer!

Pretty insane

Picked up a pair at BIG while in NYC last week and the pants are very very nice. Lovely color. One thing: PBJ sizes are weird. My IH are 33 or 34 waist, and I need to size up to 36 or even 38 for a loose fit with PBJ's.

That is odd. My only PBJ are the XX007, and they're the same size as my IH jeans.

Some pics would be great, when you get the time GB.

He said he needed to size up to get a loose fit; I think that's where the problem lies.  PBJ doesn't really make loose fitting jeans, just slim and slimmer.  I've wanted to try a pair for years, but I can't fit my thighs in anything close to my correct size.  And as Injun Jack always tells us, if a pair of jeans in your correct size doesn't fit right, then you're wearing the wrong style.:)

I don't want to post pix on non IH stuff on the IH forum, sorry.

[SpaceGnome]

isnt that what this forum is for though?  Other brands?

[ronbiggles]

The xx003 are pretty loose/traditional fitting. My 007's fit pretty good as a 32 (tts) but the xx003's were way too roomy at the same size.

@lightz; nice!

Here's my PBJ's (XX-005) @ 8months 0 washes. They went for a cold-soak pretty soon after this was snapped.

Fit was/is TTS, and they're a tad tight in the thighs, but I learnt to live with it a long time ago

[natehate]

any signifigance to the different leather patches?

@natehate, no idea, seems different models have different patches….

[supersalami]

got these pbj xx-007 raws off Snowy for a steal! always been looking for a pair of black or really dark pair of jeans/pants. i don't see the flare that you guys are all talking about though.. well here are some fit pics (note: these are 2nd hand, they have been worn and washed before)

[nietenhosen]

good fit supsal, wearing my xx007 atm.

took a few flicks of my xx005 lately…
washed once.

@supersalami, woohoo, they made it! Fit looks really nice on you (waist/thigh/calf). Am looking forward to watching them develop. As you can likely see, they're ready for some serious fading.
