Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

[weftyarn]

@ARNC & @Mizmazzle you guys are of course right, it’s actually called black indigo. The regular one is called „deep indigo“. Have no clue how I came up with dark indigo haha

@tody didnt know they made a type 3 from this. Sounds very tempting…

[ARNC]

@weftyarn well it is dark and there’s indigo in the mix …

As well as the T3 there’s a T2 - R&H have both but I don’t think they’re for me.

The fades of the indigo t-shirt are insane

@Cskarev they start to look very cool with regular wear and washes, really a favoorite shirt

Iron Heart denim are always consistent, clean, well stitched, and built to last. I really enjoy my pairs. I however enjoy slubby, loose weave denim as I feel they have more character and is interesting.

Ive been looking to add a non dark indigo or black pair of denim to the rotation. This one fit the bill nicely. PBJ make some of the finest Japanese Selvedge denim in my opinion. These 14oz Pure Blue Japan SMBL-19 comes in a vintagey Smokey Blue colour is awesome. Kind of a grey, green and blue cast. Blue selvedge ID is always a welcome sight.

Finally had to get a replacement for my tee. It’s just thrashed…

[Tago Mago]

@weftyarn which size do you take in these tees?

[weftyarn]

@Tago-Mago

Size 5 it is for me both on the Indigo as well as the OD version. The OD is slightly smaller though, could definitely wear a 6 there for a more relaxed fit.

@gr8-selvedge This things is gorgeous. Did not know they made this. May I ask where you purchased it from?

[gr8 selvedge]

@stitchdown-shell
Thanks, I purchased this coat few years back from Okayama denim.

@gr8-selvedge what a jacket!

[CosmoSix5]

Same old... Finally sold my to big 019's(relax taper) of the amazing super rough fabric. Bought the 013(slim taper) in my new size.

@gr8-selvedge such a cool jacket.

Just picked up some khaki and olive moleskin chinos from PBJ. I’ve never bought from this brand before but these were perfect in all the measurements so I had to do it. My Freenote chinos are too damn baggy and the iron heart ones I want aren’t coming back any time soon so we will see how these are when they come in.

Just picked up a slubby PBJ type 2. Fit is great around shoulders and chest, and the length is perfect for a longer torso. There's slight tightness in the armhole, which may be diff in width and placement relative to IH, but already loosened after a few hours. The fabric feels similar (lightweight, crispy) to IH's 16oz slubby denim.

Finally uploading a pic of the Olive PBJ moleskin trousers. I love these pants. I found the perfect fitting chinos. I’ve looked all over and can’t find the weight but I’d say they’re somewhere between 16-18 oz. They’re really thick. Worn with a Freenote deck sweatshirt
