Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

[lowk]

@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?)...

If you can stand doing some stretching then yes. pbj's stretch a lot in the waist

[Seul]

I wear a size 31 in the 634S'es, and those are 7 oz. heavier… I've emailed Gordon already... Cause my first question of course is "Will there be a heavier version of this coming out"... This looks like the perfect jeans for me, going by measurements (and looks, duh), but 14 oz. is too lightweight for me... I mean, I sléép in 14 oz. jeans ya know...  :-\

[Seul]

Despite the light weight, I went ahead and ordered it… I hope it's not buttersoft after a couple of months of wear... We'll see...

nice purchase. I don't own any PBJ but it's always nice to have bigger range of different fits and denim and brands/philosophy

[Seul]

If IH had a jeans with these exact specs, I would never 've gone with a different brand… It's still my opinion that IH makes the best jeans... But I will of course always love Atelier LaDurance, Samurai and The Flat Head... And hopefully PBJ!..

Kinda the same way I feel. I have two pairs of PBJs and a friend of mine has another two pairs. The 007/009 denim is pretty unique. The chunks of slub are neat. The weave is so loose that they're almost like pajamas for anyone used to IH. But the 21oz and construction of IH still beat the shit out of everything else.

You get your 009s yet Seul? If so, how do you like them?

[Seul]

Trust me: if I had, you would've known…

PBJ XX-009.

i want a pair of PBJs just cause of the denim & the leaf is just genuis as far as logos go (at least for me anyway)

[Seul]

Right on, monday!.. I don't even miss arcs, really…

Can anyone tell me whether the jeans will stop being wrinkly after some wear?.. I don't mean slubby or uneven, but it seems to wrinke in some parts, not unlike linnen...

[passthestripe]

I don't recall any wrinkle in my 11's… Not much help I know

[elclintor]

The 007's I got were really wrinkly too, I think it's from the one wash…

Should go away with wear I would think..

[GimpKid]

Best fitting pair of 009s I've seen, Seul. And I think Clint's right about the wrinkles. I don't recall anything on my friends pair of 007s.

[kit99bar]

they look great Seul!

The logo is cool but my wife asked if I had gum stuck on my pants 

[jimmy]

Need a back shot there seul.

Agree with Monday I do like that leaf. For me it's how they do it half on half off the pocket

PBJ XX-009.

Seul, you're ready for their 24oz model. Same fabulous color, heavier feel, yet miraculously, the texture reminds of the 14oz texture.

[madmonday]

agree with you jimmy, the placement of the leaf is also key to my liking it.

figured only leaf i would love would be the fronto
