      I am looking for a pair of slubby denim that meets the following criteria..

      1. Medium rise, waist size 30 with 12.5 inches of room in the thighs

      2. Preferably black denim with zip fly

      3. Poly cotton stitching would be nice as well.

      Any jeans by PBJ or Oni that meet these criteria?

        Picked up my first pair of PBJs, the XX-18-013. Ordered the size 40, and I have to send them back. Even pre-soak, my thighs just weren't having it.
        Kind of bummed, this denim is beautiful.

          Window-shopping around for my next pair of jeans since I've retired my 634s' (21 oz) and my 666s' (18 oz) are already in the phase of needing repairs twice a year. Just like shoes, jeans seem to get the most comfy when they start to fall apart :(.

          Anyway, looking for something just like the 666s but with a smaller waist (36ish) and if possible with a bit smaller hem width. A bit less rear rise would be welcome too. As a cyclist thighs need to be around 12,5 when stretched out so can't go full slim. The PBJ XX013 seems to be quite close to what I'm looking for in a raw 36" waist, does anybody have some info in comparison to the 666s? The slubbiness and character is quite attractive too and from what I've gathered the 14oz is quite stretchy. Could consider the 18 oz ones too, but have to do some more research on them before making up my mind.

          AIAN HA-TO!

            @Jii  The x013 denim is stretchy so the waist will easily go back to raw. As you say the rise is lower. Compared with the 666 you'd have a similar thigh fit then a taper at the knee to a narrower leg opening.
            PBJ denim is fairly consistent and shrinks and stretches in a similar fashion. Early days for the 18 oz to be absolutely sure of that but the 24 oz collab we did did stretch back out in the waist and shrank almost the full 2" in length.

              I'm very interested in grabbing a pair of PBJs. I find myself gravitating towards slubby / neppy denim after getting my Samurais.

              I love the look of the xx007 deep indigo so far. Does anyone know if their 24oz version has similar slub characteristics?

              What's the slubbiest they offer?

              I don't think I said variations of "slub" enough in this post. Slub you later, slubs!

                The slubbiest denim I have ever seen must be the18 oz denim they released this year

                  Just copped xx-013 in 18oz. Pics were too convincing..I'll post some thoughts after holidays and once I receive them.

                      Anyone know if this new 18oz. will be released in any looser cuts. I can't make that one at R&H work, but the denim looks great.

                        I'd be so excited if they released it in the 003 cut. The 013 was too slim for me. Slimmer than the 666 cut by far.

                          I have a pair of the 24-007. They're not anywhere near slubby. If you want slubby, definitely go for one of their normal offerings!

                              The pics convinced me as well, Miiks.

                              Thanks for the info everyone, especially @Segovia as that was the exact thing I was wondering. Looks like the 18oz is my next pair.

                              Slubby Holidays!

                                Just for reference, thought I'd take a shot of the 24oz along with two other common Japanese denim. Pictures speak louder than words! @PSB

                                  Thanks for the comparison pics. I recognized the 710s immediately as I'm wearing mine right now. Ha.

                                  While the 24oz still looks beautiful, I see what you mean about the lack of slubbiness compared to their other weights. I just looked at some 18oz pics again; I'm sold.

                                    I've been looking into the PBJ denim, but I'm not sure the combination I want exists yet. Is there a Deep Indigo version of their 18oz denim?

                                      The Deep Indigo will have to wait. I just picked up Miiks' 18oz xx-013s. Thanks @Miiks ! Really looking forward to getting my hands on this denim.
