Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)
-
@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 -
@Louisclsu1 may I ask where you purchased the slubby type 2 from? Most places seem to be sold out in my size but I’d prefer the extra length and hand warmer pockets to the more traditional IH versions..
-
@Choko do not need anymore chinos but I’d be damned if you weren’t tempting me w these now
-
@Choko those look great and glad the hunt is over for you.
-
@flannel-slut yeah they’re pretty damn good. Got them at withered fig if you end up looking for them. And thanks @ZackB! It’s a pain spending a bunch of money on stuff that doesn’t fit how I want
-
@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.

@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.
