Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

What's my best bet service/exchanges/price/ease for picking up a pair for my wife? I see a few places that carry them, but aside from Rakuten I have no experience

Buy from Blue In Green.  They're the only US source, and Gordon is an extremely helpful guy.

That's where I was leaning, thanks for the affirmation bros.

Or you can go through Okayama Denim and save some dough (looks like around $50 on the 017). You're paying for probably easier communications and returns with the other option though.

I was looking there earlier, they don't show a women's model, and bng carries them sub $200

And even if Blue In Green doesn't have what you're looking for, email Gordon and ask about it.  BiG was out of my size in the X-33s, so he tracked down a pair at Studio D'Artisan in Japan and special ordered them for me.  Really excellent customer service in addition to the ease of dealing with a US retailer.

Thanks, got her a pair of 1069 from BiG. They had her size so now we wait I think I'm more excited to see her wrapped in these than I am to get my TW

Wasn't expecting these until Monday, fit pics to come

ETA: there shall be no fit pics until these are exchanged for a size 3 she couldn't get in the thighs in the 2's. Good thing I went BiG

Can't wait to see you in these ;).

I thought for a forum full of swinging dicks, some pictures of a woman's ass might be a nice change of pace. But ^ this guy can't resist the thought of my scrawny ass in them? 

[Snowy]

It's all about the denims bro ::). In seriousness seeing the female form in denim does make for a nice change

???

[jdl1279]

She could tell I was pretty crushed when she couldn't get them on. They are pretty nice and even the 3's are gonna be painted on her. Luckily turn around shouldn't be bad.

[jdl1279]

After several emails and a few exchanges, the fine folks at BiG finally got her hooked up with the perfect fit. She's a little packed into them, but as I told her they will stretch and take her shape as she wears them.

Please ignore the half naked blur, we can't keep clothes on her

Good fit

@natehate:

Good fit

Agreed

Smart man… This way she’ll understand/enjoy your denim obsession rather than having it become a source of marital problems. 

Next she’ll want some handmade boots though…

[jdl1279]

As do I, once she gets a few wears in them though…mmmmm ::)

[jdl1279]

4C,

Selling her wasn't that hard, I showed her what each of us spent over the course of a few years in denim. The wear/price ratio is actually pretty crazy when broken down like such, and she loves to easily cut overhead
