Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

PBJ EX-019-BB

I'll add to the sentiments that PBJ jeans are well worth the money. Especially their slubby jeans, they really love to create texture and IMHO are the best in the game at the slubby stuff. I don't have any of their regular fabric jeans so I can't speak to that but I have this pair and absolutely love them. I was really happy when got my IH555 jeans because the fit is really close to this pair of PBJ... Right now I'm in a 3 jean rotation of an 17oz pair of IH 888, 21oz pair of 555s and these.

Completely agree with you @edgarallanpoe about the slub, here'smy PBJ type 3 jacket in Indigo and sumi ink, what a beauty... really expensive jacket but whoaa...

[edgarallanpoe]

As luck would have it, I'm wearing these jeans today...hopefully you can see the texture on the material. It really is something special and they are about as comfortable a jean as I own.

Here’s what happened to my PBJ Indigo tee over the past few years

Love it so much I just had to pay Statement a visit and grab the Long Sleeve version.

Still going strong. Just a minor hole in the arm pit but held its shape amazingly well.

Curious to see how yours are going @Cskarev @tody @Dmart @ARNC

@weftyarn I have a few now (different variants) but none have faded anything like yours despite regular use/washing. Not sure what you’re doing in yours (or maybe you have a particularly brutal washing machine) but it looks great. Planning on wearing mine for a good while yet.

[weftyarn]

I just wear the hell out of it. And I have a feeling that sun exposure plays a big role. It’s one of my go to summer tees because of the lower weight.

You have the OD version too? Got that a few weeks back and looking forward to see how it evolves

[tody]

@weftyarn I have yet to get one. my size is sold out everywhere. saw the longsleeve, but probably wouldn't wear it as much.

[Dmart]

@weftyarn great evo in your shirt. To be honest, I have worn it only a handful of times. I am guilty of the „saving the good things for later“…
I still love it and actually plan to wear it more often this summer.

[Cskarev]

@weftyarn I will try to take some photos soon

[Fades for future]

@tody dc4 in Berlin has XL and XXL left mate

[Fades for future]

@weftyarn Looks banger, need to wear my tee and longsleeve more often

[tody]

@Fades-for-future dark indigo yes, but i'm looking for the black overdyed indigo.

[Fades for future]

@tody ah right Mate same here, still waiting on a restock...

[ARNC]

@weftyarn I’ve got ss and ls versions of the regular indigo and black indigo and ss only in pale indigo - picked up gradually but I keep coming back to these as the dimensions work really well for me.

I find the black indigo quite stubborn but I guess yours will fade if you just look at it for a while

[weftyarn]

Thanks guys! @tody hope you’ll be lucky to find one soon. always got my eyes open for you

@ARNC yup the black one takes a bit more time. wearing it right now actually

@weftyarn Hey Emil…thinking of snagging one of the indigo PBJ tees. How do you size them? I wear a large in IH tees…but also have a medium IH tee that fits nice too on the slimmer side.

[Mizmazzle]

Also wondering if these get much shrink with a cold wash/ hang dry?

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle if this is a general question, I have found the sizing to be pretty stable with cold machine washing and air drying. There’s always the potential for a bit of reshaping while damp if you’re concerned about a particular measurement.

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC I’m conflicted between a size 3 and 4. Think 4 is what I’d need. 18” shoulder is my preference with a 26” length.
