  1. What size are these, and how did you size?

    I got size 28. My actual waist is somewhere between 31 and 32 inches.

    Gave them a hot soak last night for 2 hours, 1 with me in them. They tightened up very nicely and the top block fits great. I think all that's left to do is a warm soak with a little detergent to get rid of some of the starch and shrink them up a little more. If anyone wants, I can post pics later on; gotta go to class now.

  2. Based on my experience with PBJ, I think you'll be fine, at least as far as the concerns you mentioned. If you haven't even soaked them yet, I would advise just giving them a good hot wash to get rid of the starch. You won't lose a noticeable amount of indigo (even though the water will be blue as hell, causing you to freak out), and they will soften and shrink and fit better. My one concern based on your pics is that they seem pretty slim on you already, and they will shrink considerably. They will also stretch back out, especially in the top block, but the legs may be a little slim. I know the 009 is supposed to be a relaxed cut, so I'm not sure if that's what you are going for or not.

    Yeah, I knew the 009 was their "relaxed" model, but that's not really what I wanted. Basically, it was the only one that gave me both the thigh and the hem measurements that I was looking for- similar to my N&F Weird Guys but a bit looser.

    looks good wear them in the tub even better :)

    Thanks! I'll hopefully be soaking (and wearing the hell out of) them soon.

    I hope you guys will forgive my constant questions, but I just want to be sure before I soak the jeans and am not able to return them. I took some more pictures of my crotch and ass today (with the jeans on) and edited them to show some more detail. This still look alright to you guys?

    Hey, just got my first pair of unsanforized (and second pair of raw) jeans- PBJ XX-009. I'm having trouble figuring out how they're gonna look after soaking though and I'm a little worried about the top block. I've taken some (admittedly crappy) pictures of the problem. The fabric folds over at the very top of the thigh and the look of the backside isn't too great. But I don't know if that'll go away once they shrink and (hey, my socks are blue! Just noticed) aren't so stiff; they're like cardboard now. Enough rambling, here's the pics:
