Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

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

Man, that deep colour, love me some pbj's

I got my first pair a week of so ago. Love them. Makes me think about selling my Sammies.

[natehate]

what cut did you get zwer?

[Broark]

I really want to get a pair of the deep indigo PBJs but I'm not sure what cut. I've got bigger thighs so I want something with a slight taper towards the hem, but nothing skinny. And then once I decide I've got to track them down somewhere!

[Chris]

If you ever find something, I'd love to hear about it.  I've wanted a pair for years and the skinny thighs have always frightened me off.  Around a 33" waist and 12.5"-13" thighs (post-shrink) would be ideal, but I've yet to see anything that would work.

[Broark]

I think the closest thing I've found so far is the XX-009 really. BiG is sold out of the size I'm looking for, maybe I can track it down somewhere on Rakuten but who knows.

, and increase quality :). (And I'm sure I'm missing some innuendo in your post )

[jdl1279]

What's funny is if she bumps either end of the spectrum a little more I might be looking for a place

Paid Danny a visit at the new Rivet & Hide store on Friday and couldn't resist a pair of the deep indigo X012 slim tapered.  Wanted something smarter in the short/medium term, but that will still evolve nicely in the long term.  It was these or the 3sixteen shadow selvedge, but the PBJ denim wins hands down for character (and killer slub).

Pretty snug over my cyclist's thighs, but pretty damn pleased with the fit (not dissimilar to the 555 cut, imo).

Excuse the crappy pics…

[Giles]

Nice arse leaf…

[trail and arrow]

hey ging,
did exactly the same when visiting danny last time.
mine are quite tight for my fat legs too, but there is hope that they will stretch.
they already started to fade and i have the feeling that these will turn out quite nice. 
cheers man!

Like these a lot fit well.

[daynym]

Fit looking good, Richard. But makes your bum look pretty huge
Not the baddest thing I guess?

Saw Simons fit one page ago. Looks pretty nice, too.

[twin]

Daynym my fit and Simons fit are about the same.
For the PBJ X020 I like the fit of these a lot will get a lot of wear :).
