PBJ, 45rpm... (my first Japanese order...)

[Guest]

The Pure Blues are looking pretty good, after seeing the deep blue of the XX-003. Either those or one-wash Sorahikos.

My main concern is fit (hence my thread regarding Eternal models as well)

I'm wearing APC English right now, and can afford to go a bit slimmer, but not much. Would

From PBJ and 45rpm, do any models fit that description?

I think I'd like to go heavyweight for the other pair. Samurais or Ironhearts.

(am I the only guy that thinks 'Peanut Butter and Jelly' every time he sees PBJ?)

I don't think you'll have to worry about gettin slimmer for the PBJs as it's rated a 4/5 on bears:

So pretty baggy.

haha, the first time i got an email from someone with PBJ in the subject line i was like pb&j? why is someone writing to me about that?

[asfberg]

sorahiko should be fine

i wouldn't put too much faith in bear's rating system

take a look at the picture, doesn't look like a 4 to me

and from that pic i'd say those pure blues fit like sorahikos

samurai 19oz 510's are fuller cut than ironhearts fyi

[ddohnggo]

does anyone have both the pbj and the 45rpm sorahiko's? if so, how do they compare?

[digital_denim]

Well, I wouldn't go by the guy in the picture either. I've read that some of these models make baggy jeans look tight.

[asfberg]

they list his measurements

5'10" and 145 lbs

sounds on the slim side

i think ringring mentioned in another post the pure blues were both closer to slim cuts than baggy. i'll see if i canfind that post

most of his weight is in his thighs, though. (not kidding)

Using chain stitch, your train of jeans is fading wind.

that dude has seriously huge legs. sd103s are skin tight on him, for example.

[scoon0224]

If the dude has seriously huge legs, that's a good thing

(My English fit me about like the S510XX guy on Bears)

asfberg, thanks for the input on the Samurai 510's. I was looking at them and I think I'll go for them over the Ironhearts. (I like the multi-coloured thread and the pocket stitching... and the roomier fit sounds promising)

Can somebody give me a rough comparison of the S510XX and XX003 to say the RB1's? I know that these are repro types, but I'm just concerned with room in the thigh. Thanks

the pbj's are slimmer than the soraihko's.

but, if you want the pbj xx-003's you'll have to wait til sometime in june (specific date not known)- they're sold out everywhere and pbj is in the process of making a new batch.

[ddohnggo]

anyone know have both the pbj xx-003 and the 45 rpm sorahiko's? if so, which do you prefer?

[xcoldricex]

i don't think anyone owns the xx-003's. no one got them from me at least.

[asfberg]

friend of mine does ... got the last pair from bears

he loves them, says girls stop him on the street and ask about them (in tokyo at least)

[derdankhund]

ha I wish girls stopped me on the street about my 45rpms or my sugar canes...sadly its more along the lines of Rogan and True Religion that I get asked about (the flashier the jean, the more people will notice it I guess)

guess I'll just have to take all my excessively nice clothing and move to Tokyo to get recognized (this might conflict slightly with my grad school plans in the fall)

"anyone know have both the pbj xx-003 and the 45 rpm sorahiko's? if so, which do you prefer?"

I do. PBJ xx-003 has a better slimmer more modern cut. Sorahikos still superb though.
