That would work, you could even go down to a 30 if you can handle a smaller knee because the thigh will stretch out past 11 inches. 

[Chubacca]

Has PBJ ever done any special models of the XX-003? It seems like they only do the specials (ie 24oz/purple/etc) in every other models besides the 003 

[Max Power]

I've been browsing some online Shops (mostly rakuten) and it seems, like the PBJ XX007 is sold out everywhere. Does anybody know more - are they reproducing, having troubles with the high demand ...?

[Chubacca]

I was doing some browsing and I think the AI-001 are edging out the 710s as my next pair.

Max -- I don't have any inside information or anything, but when I was looking for the 007s last year I remember this was the case. I believe they just have small runs and if enough time passes the popular models / sizes are hard to find.

Edit: places like BiG should have a good estimate of when to expect a restock

No plans to reproduce at the moment.

No plans to reproduce at the moment.

Me neither, I have enough kids already!

[everyinchofgod]

Wait, they're discontinuing the 007's? This would be a tragedy!

[Max Power]

No plans to reproduce at the moment.

 

You mean they're killing one of their best selling cuts? Phew, this is a tragedy indeed. been wanting one for years.

I had an email exchange with Kozue Tamura from the PBJ shop since February and he said that the production schedule for XX-007 is not decided yet - he did not say that they will stop this model.

I just emailed Kozue about this and will let you know the reply. I was told there was no other production planned so am seeking clarification if this means ever or for the time being.

[M1stral]

Glad I copped one last year.

[Danny @ Rivet & Hide]

Kozue got back to me to clarify that they will reproduce the X007 after all. They are looking at a schedule for it.

[Max Power]

Thanks for the clarification! Much appreciated.

Thought I'd post a (link to a) photo of my 005s after they were hemmed by those nice folk at Rivet and Hide:

[M1stral]

Much better!

[Broark]

Still on the hunt for some XX-009's, sent an email to Denimio to see if they've got any insight.

[sombrero]

I'm in the same boat, Broark.  I'd assume its the same situation as the 007s 

discussed above.  Frustrating as I'd insta-cop if they were available.

[M1stral]

And yes. They need to be hemmed.

[redragon]

 

Getting 007 back into rotation makes me realize (again) how beautiful this fabric is...

Hope they can get it back to production asap, more people need to experience this pair!

I hear many great things about PBJs but am not not familiar with the various models.  Are there any with longer rises (e.g., 11.5 - 12")?

Well Denimio got back to me and said the the XX-009 isn't in production at the moment.

Bummer because I think that's the only cut that would work for me.

[S-Town]

Broark/John, the 003/009 is a pretty sweet fit.  For a brand that is less about reproduction, it has a really nice, classic shape.  Wish they'd do a black pair!

[jyoni]

Hey good call on triple cuffing the 005.  It really does work on the cut, much moreso than a double!  I've been indecisive on how to hem my newer 005 bks, as well as a pair of indigo.  The 005 has a tough leg to determine inseam.  Anyway, I tried the triple cuff mentioned, with zero break for my fit, and I like it.  I misted them down to flatten the cuff edges a bit.  Fits to come.

Wearing my 005s today. Love the slub (although there's some dog hair on them too!).

Tough night was it? Can't beat the hair of the dog!

[Ceffyl]

As long as it doesn't become another dog!

It might become a cat though...

Speaking of a slim type 3 - PBJ 6166

First day of vacation on Corfu, heading over to Paxos - a mild and sunny spring day...
