9 and 7 are the same material (indigo inside and out). The 9 has a slightly fuller thigh than the 7 and 5 which are the same cut.

[Cold Summer]

The most sane thing to do seems to be to get the 009 and size down to get a nice taper but not-too-tight thigh. At least, that's what I would do.

[leyori]

the easiest thing is measure your thigh for me. 009 is more suitable and closer to 1947's cut

unless that's too much of a taper for some people (like it was for me). And sizing up on that made the waist too big. So...I'm not ashamed to admit -- I did the 005 and tapered half an inch...gasp!

The 009s stretch like CRAZY. I had them tapered 0.75" and after about 10 wears it feels as if they've stretched even more... The only saving grace of these is the fabric, cause the cut and the rise (too low, especially bothersome when working in them) put me off... If the Iron Heart lightweight ducks come out I'll probably sell the PBJs...

The fit looks fine to me. What, exactly, has stretched out a lot? The waist + butt, or the thighs too? I'm interested in a pair of these someday, so the amount of stretch is pretty important to size correctly.

My 11s don't seem super stretchy anywhere except the waist, I guess (easily fixed with a belt.)

hope to get some proper evo pics soon! these are coming along very nice!

It looks better now due to the taper. They were almost "baggy" before - thighs stretched immediately, so did the waist (but I always wear a belt). Thing is I've only worn these for about two weeks... I work in them so I'm sure the knees will stretch out and other areas as well... Guess we'll have to wait and see...

I'm looking for a nice slim tapered denim as my next pair, and pbj-xx-011 seems to be a great option. Should i go true to the size or size down?

reading from earlier 011s can stretch a lot in the waist. check the thigh/leg measurements and buy according to that to make sure you get the fit you want.

[Max Power]

can anybody confirm, if the one wash models are the same size as the raw ones of the same tagged size? Background: XX009 on BiG is siad to run 2,5" less in OW and I doubt that this much shrinkage happens throughout the soaking/washing process. How much do the OW models stretch in general?

That doesn't seem like too much shrinkage for a looser woven fabric, and it wouldn't make sense for a company to make different patterns for some to be washed and some not. Therefore I'd assume that they are the same sizes originally.

011s are cut generously @waistband, so they're generally a sd1 from your usual pbj size. the O/W would seem like they're tts cuz waist has shrunk quite a bit, but the waist will stretch out quite a bit after a few wear.

yea, same size cut for the raws & O/W.... the waist shrunk quite a bit on the O/W version, that it'd seem like tagged sizing are different__ the waist will stretch out quite a bit after a few wear, tho'

Thanks guys! I am a w34 and ordered me a size 33, as the big measurements indicated a 35,5" waist raw with a shrinkage to 33". so with a bit stretch I should be fine.

[Seul]

You ordered the o/w 009 model, Max?.. Either way: sizing down at least 1 size is most definitely advised for that model... Normally I'm not for sizing down at all, but that model stretches more than elephant pussy.

awesome fades!!! just ordered mine from dc4...

did it shrink a lot, after the first initial soak???

intend to give mine 2 hot initial soaks for maximum shrinkage & no more shrinking afterwards... i wear w34 in fh&ih, does this one strech a lot with time??? thankful for any advices from all u guys

[beautiful_FrEaK]

waist will stretch, thighs could be a bigger problem. I hope you checked that measurement too!

[redragon]

ur_ugly

Thank you.

I agree with beautiful_freak, the thing to watch out for is thigh measurement.

Enjoy!

[ur_ugly]

yeah, i allready tried it on once. fit was good.

what do u guys think of the idea with the 2 hot initial soakings?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

go for it if you think the first soak wasn't enough. I often soak twice but not always. Do as you like, it won't harm your jeans

[jehuti2468]

finally my pbj xx 011 arrived

pre soak

what do u guys think?

[BrownMetallic]

^sd1? fit is spot on.

So I'm a bit confused on sizing, have read a big but still.. I remain confused. I wear a size 32 waist, and am looking at the xx-011, so will the tagged 32 shrink down to 33-34, cause actual size is a 35?

[BrownMetallic]

waist 32 on what brand? ... & which size chart are you looking at?

eg, w32 on 005/007 raw = w31 on 011 raw__ to start with.

but, you can go sd2 @w30 if your built is on the slim/skinny side.

btw, these are unisex cut & [afaik] women prefer the getgo fit of the o/w version due to the shrunken waistband. they don't need to estimate on shrinkage.
