@Seul:

By deep indigo you mean the 007s?.. If they weren't so slim I would've bought a pair of those myself… Big fan of deep/ dark indigo (not overdyed!) as well!..
[Yes, Indigo Warp/Indigo weft but delay in shipping from Japan so not yet received yet.

Bet the  fade will be amazing!!!

Also interested in A1002 but are they hard to break in even in one wash??

Never worn heavyweight jeans before

Yesterday went through the knee of my 3 sixteens after 4 1/2 months!!!

Think I need more oz than 14 as I live in jeans

@Joubin:

indigo queen, I LOVE those jeans. I've been wanting to get a pair for my girly.

I've got these up for sale as I'm too thin for them - virtually unworn - check out for sale

@elclintor:

just got in the 007's.. They are unwearable.  The damn rise is so low that it splits my jewels. sorry, but fit pics will NOT be posted. They have been returned..

Had the same problem….

[elclintor]

Yeah, it really sucks cause the denim is so nice…  Oh well....

[lowk]

^debating on that as well… that or wait for 666s restock or BB raw... yep, need more pairs of legs...

The girl working at the store today was really cute. Almost forgot to buy jeans… Sorry no pictures.

What's been said about the thighs on 'slim' PBJs is true -- in my normal size I could not get a pair of xx-0011s over my thighs. I lift weights but I'm not huge by any means. Went for a size up with the standard version xx-003.

In Shibuya?

[shutoko]

Yeah, in Jingu Mae

[Giles]

The same happens to me every time I go in there….....

007 are a great model. They fit like Buster raw, IMHO.

I hope not George because there is no size in the 007s that would fit me (tiny skinny leg measurements) and I got a pair of BB Raw coming in a few days

[georgeel]

I own PBJ007 size 29 and Buster Raw size 28.
PBJ 007 are 14oz and very slubby (maybe too much!), and stretch a lot.

After some months of worn, I can say that 007s have a little more relaxed fit.
Busters have a better cut (for my taste), because they are slimmer, but consider that I sized dawn 1 with them.
Front rise is almost the same for both          .
The concept of both models is identical: a cut that stand halfway from straight to slim.

The nature of denim makes the difference:
PBJ-007: incredible evolution. Every day you have something new. They stretch and fade again and again
IH-BB raw: if you love heavy weight denim, 18 oz raw is the best choice for a slim fitted pair of jeans.

Don't worry, Busters Raw are killer jeans, you'll not regret.
You'll love them!

georgeel, quick question!

Did you go TTS with a size 29 for your PBJ's? I've been wanting to get the 007 in the 24 oz deep indigo for a while but I don't know if I should go TTS or size up especially because they are raw.

[gbougard]

My experience with the 007-24oz: I got a size 36, whereas my IH are in the 32-34 range. In other PBJ models, I've sized up a couple of sizes: my 34 PBJ (02) is tight like my 33 IH 23oz.
I hope it all makes sense

[Seul]

A mate of mine has pointed me to the PBJ 009… Straight leg, tapered down the knee, 14 oz in that beautiful deep indigo... And there's a one wash model...

Oh Lord...

Is it safe to say that one can downsize 1 with these models?.. (Even the one wash?)...
