      Hi everyone I'm looking into getting my first pair of pbj and I'm looking into the 015's in 18oz at big i tried on a 33 and 34 one wash and the 34 fit perfect below the waist but the waist was quite roomy, on the 33's the waist was almost perfect maybe a half an inch or so off but the rest fit a little more snug than I'm used to. My question is what to do ? do i go with the 33s hoping for stretch? ( please if anyone knows what to expect as far as stretch goes chime in) do i deal with the larger waist of the 34? or do i try a 33 non-washed and do a warm soak while wearing and hope for the best? please any help in coming to my decision would be more tun greatly appreciated.

      OH and BTW my normal waist size is 33, Thanks again

        I've found that my PBJ 015 have stretched a fair bit. My advice would be go for the snugger fit. I've ended up giving mine a couple of hot soaks but it hasn't really made that much difference. I'm currently wearing them with a belt. I'm contemplating a hot machine wash and the tumble dryer treatment. What I would say is the denim and the quality of the craftsmanship are amazing. I'm a sucker for chatter/slub/nep/texture. I'm also a 32/33 waist and given the choice again I'd deffo go for a 32. I'm no expert by any means but I own a pair of 015s and I'm similar size to yourself, so thought I'd pipe up.

            Not as much as the waist but a reasonable amount on mine, like I said with the benefit of hindsight I'd go for a size smaller than I got.

              Great I think you settled it for me because the one size up at least as far as the Web measurements it's only a quarter in

                How old are your 015s? Do you have pics of how they ate progressing?

                  Mine are pretty new, I only got mine this year so no major wear and fade just yet.

                  That's what they look like, forgive the ikea shoe horn

                            fabric & construction is great.  doing my best not to get the hoodie & the crewneck as well, but i'm weak . . .

                                        Well here they are a little on the tight side but feels like this material will stretch to perfection 

                                        Will post better fit pics when I have someone to take them lol

                                            Besides, it looks like a perfect fit to me, particularly with this denim. As Foxy says, it will stretch anyway, so a size larger would not look right when worn in. Enjoy, @skaterpunk437

                                            Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !
