Absolutely stonking shirt @nizzel55 perfect for a British "summer" too

How does it feel - heavy and slubby?

@chiverus it does not feel very heavy. It is only 5oz. It is quite light.
But it is however full of character and it is very Neppy if that even is a word. It is full of small white knots.
It is really nice and quite roomy.

Nice one @nizzel55 I am now very tempted myself..must resist!

Speaking of PBJ and Summer, they do these unbelievable gauze western/workshirts.  I got one last year - I'll try to toss a photo up - that quickly became my go to.  I need to find a good madras this year… Didn't IH do one a few years back??

Un saludo!

@nizzel55 what size did you go with? I have been looking at this shirt as well and it seems we're similar sizing.

[nizzel55]

@moto I got it in size 4.
shoulders are spot on for me.
I could use another 2 cms on the sleeves and I would not mind another 3 cms overall length.
Other then that it is perfect

@nizzel55 Got the 5oz Western version from @Danny RnH this week. Agree with you 100% it is a light but beautifully neppy fabric.

As ever, service at Rivet & Hide from Junior was amazing - got my 24oz PBJ monsters hemmed too!

Blue in Green Soho were kind enough to special order me this bandana. It should arrive in 2 weeks. I've never had a knit tee shirt bandana before. So I'm pretty stoked to get it.

@Filthy25ozJunkie I got the chambray one. I love it.  Get ready to get a blue neck. I was thinking about getting the yersey one. But decided not to. Tell me what you think about it when you get it.

Natural Indigo Type II (Size 4) showed up yesterday. Definitely a little on the longer side but I like the fit. Denim is still very stiff. I look forward to it breaking in. Sorry for the crappy pics:

[steelworker]

I like the look , longer length looks good too. What size is it @veloaudio ?

[veloaudio]

Sorry, I should haven posted size. I went with Size 4 (Large?).

[Broark]

Nice jacket, I've had my eye on that one as the measurements look good.
Don't really need another jacket as it's already in the mid 80's here…

[Anesthetist]

I dig it! Nice score @veloaudio

PBJ Western 5oz slub! Word of advice: I have scrawny arms but this bad boy is tight around the elbows and forearms

From time to time, I treat myself to just PBJ.

@den213:

Has anybody experience with PBJ's new 18 oz denim on the XX-18oz-013 (slim tapered)? Is it stretch friendly and how's the sizing (compared to IH)? Thanks in advance!

Sorry late reply but I have the PBJ 103xx 18oz and they fit slightly bigger than IH555 I think. The denim is very stretchy and the cut is really flattering, great "lightweight" jeans!!

Picked up my PBJ 1012-R beige chinos this morning from Rivet and Hide who were very helpful in ordering them for me directly from Japan.

I ordered Size 3 based on the measurements table listed on PBJ's website and found it quite accurate when compared against my pair. The cut is similar to their slim tapered denims e.g. XX-013 and cloth texture has some irregularities and very occasional slubs.

[Niro]

awesome chinos! If the fit is similar to their slim tapered I will be looking to pick up a pair
