Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

[Louisclsu1]

@DeeDee85 I ended up finding it on sale NWT on the raw denim reddit forum. I was drawn to it for similar reasons, the extra length and handwarmers.

(RGT washed denim shirt and Railcar flight trousers)

@Louisclsu1 congratulations on a great find, it looks fantastic! I shall keep my eyes peeled

@Louisclsu1 I'm very jealous! I have a soft spot for Type II denim jackets and this one from PBJ I would have loved to have.

Had to break this out from the archives.
xx-010 Purple Face denim. Got it in 2016 and have worn it sparingly. Now that I'm rotating through denim, it's getting its chance to shine.

@DeeDee85 a late response when you may have already moved on. I bought this same jacket this year from Redcast Heritage in Madrid. Problem buying from there is import tax, but I just really wanted it. I wanted one like this for ages and it fitted the bill.

I just love the fading of this awesome PBJ tee.

[ZackB]

@Cskarev is this the indigo one? I love these tees and got some last year because of yours. Looks great and the color is looking fantastic

[Cskarev]

@ZackB yes, it is! It is awesome and it has faded beautifully

Beautiful evo @Cskarev

Here’s an update of my trio:

Black Indigo and regular Indigo after like 1.5 year of wear next to my already white Regular Indigo tee that I completely thrashed and don’t wear anymore because of armpit holes.

[DeeDee85]

@weftyarn the oldest one looks incredible, get those armpit holes fixed

[ManiacLachy]

@weftyarn They look great! Definitely get that old one patched up if you can.

I've got a black/indigo and a regular indigo pair from PBJ as well, but still someways behind yours. The indigo is showing development, but the black/indigo is still almost totally black. I'm looking forward to developing their patina over time.

Had PBJ shirt on today. Washing tomorryfor the first time. Today was a hot one even though the forecast was not...

[ZackB]

@ManiacLachy my indigo black shirt is m pretty much completely black still too. Nice to see what they’ll look like in the future and a reason to wear them more.

[Cskarev]

PBJ t-shirt are just great. The indigo one has faded so beautifully..

@Cskarev
Do these shirts shrink? Trying to get my sizing down before black friday shenanigans.

[FlavourFade]

@Heritage_Guy fwiw I have 3 of them, the normal one and two with breast pocket and ribbed cuffs and they did not shrink at all, washed a couple times at 30°c with low spin. I feel they are among the roomiest shirts from japanese brands and have a more western fit.

[ZackB]

Agree with @FlavourFade, the shoulders and length are definitely bigger than other shirts I have in the same size.
