Anyone know how much shrinkage I can expect with the cone white oak tailored canvas chinos (indigo/brown duck)? I have a 29.5" waist, trying to decide between a 29 or a 30. I imagine these will shrink and the Japanese military chinos will not?

Thanks in advance

Gordon at BIG said the Real Mccoys sweats aren't loopwheeled this season. I emailed Superdenim, but they didnt respond. Can anyone confirm the status of this season's sweats?

Yeah SuperDenim fooled me with those 2-pack tees. I sent an email asking if they were really loopwheeled (since they're made in the US), but I didn't get a response.

The tees happen to be really great anyway, and fit me better than a lot of Japanese loopwheeled tees...

Picked up SExFHxRJB15 with the SE sale. First pair of Flat Head, super stoked!

Anyone have post-soak measurements for a size 31 in the BSP's?

Looking to pick up my first pair of TFH. Trying to decide between F301, SE05BSP, and the RJB 103BSP. My waist measures about 29.5, and I wear a 29 in Momotaro 0705sp and PBJ xx-013.

I'd like a slim fit with a leg opening not more than 7", but nothing crazy tight or painful. The PBJs fit me very well, so something close to that would be nice.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers!

Hey I've sent you guys several emails this past week about an order. Is there a better email to use, or a way to call? Trying to place this order ASAP.

Thanks!

Just trying to see what final measurements will be.

Cheers.

Do you know how much these will shrink down with a soak?

I just got the xx-013 in a 29 raw a few weeks ago. I'm about a 29.5-30 waist, and the fit on these is awesome. I did a warm soak while wearing them, then an additional hot soak of just the top block. Really nice slub denim, already starting to show some contrast in high friction areas.

The only thing I'd warn you about is the thigh/knee measurements - these were really slim on mine. Definitely try them on before the initial soak to see if they're gonna fit once they shrink down. (that's why I soaked while wearing them, to prevent the thigh and knee from getting too small).

Got the Nudie Grim Tims and I don't like the fit.

Now I'm in the dilemma of xx-013 raw or xx-011 raw. I'm pretty sure the measurements are about the same. Which should I get, guys?

I just picked up my first pair of PBJ - the xx-013 in a size 29 raw. I tried them on today so I could check out the fit before soaking, and the top block and leg opening seem like they will fit great after a soak. The knee, however, is pretty narrow, and I'm worried that if it shrinks much more, I won't be able to get the jeans on over the knee. Should I just do a soak of the top block, (and maybe the leg opening), and leave the knee out of the water? Would that still shrink the inseam?

I'm basically trying to figure out if I can keep these and make them work, or if the cut just isn't for me and I should try something else (xx-005?)

Thanks in advance.

Alright, thanks. Gonna go for the 29 in raw, and just wear 'em while they dry. Maybe I can do an ocean soak for their initial soak - one of the benefits of living in Hawaii!

Bout to grab my first pair of PBJ - xx-013's. I have a 29.5" waist, and was thinking of grabbing the 29 O/W, but now I'm thinking about the 29 raw.

What are the advantages of going raw, if your getting relatively TTS? Would I be just as good going O/W, so I could try them on fully shrunk down and return/exchange if necessary?

Thanks!

Ok, I think I've decided on the PBJ's. I like their clean look, and the fit seems a little better. (I also love the look of broken-in PBJ's!) Anyway, i have a size 29 waist. Would you recommend a getting a 29 in the 013 one wash?

Thanks.

Hey guys -

I'm trying to pick up a new pair of denim, and I've narrowed it down to either the Pure Blue Japan xx-013's or the Strike Gold SG1109 (both in a size 29. The only Japanese denim Ive gotten so far has been Momotaro, so i wanted to try something new. Both the SG1109 and the PBJ xx-013 have the slim tapered fit Im looking for, so I'm not really sure how to choose. Maybe someone with knowledge of both can help? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the xx-013 IS slubby, and the xx-011 is the left hand twill denim. Definitely going for the slub, just not sure which one...

Hello - So i'm trying to decide on a new pair of denim. Right now i've narrowed it down to the Strike Gold SG1109 or Pure Blue Japan xx-013s (both in a size 29). All of the Japanese denim I've has thus far has been Momotaro, and I'd like to try something new. Both SG1109 and PBJ xx-013 have the slim tapered fit that I'm looking for, so now it's a question of denim quality, fading potential, construction, etc. I was hoping someone with knowledge of these brands could help me out? Any ideas or suggestions that could help me decide would be very much appreciated.

Ok, so I've narrowed it down to the SG1109s or the PBJ xx-013 (in a size 29 for both).

So far all my Japanese denim has been Momotaro. The sg1109s and xx-013 both look like they have a slim tapered fit, so its now a question of denim quality, fading potential, construction, etc. Is anyone familiar with the denim in question and can comment? Any help, ideas, or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Flat Head 3001

PBJ xx-013

Strike Gold SG1109, or

Momo x Context 0701 113xx?
